Fine, but how do I influence the width of those p columns? With the old way I would put a TeX box as a single line item in a LaTeX tabular which had c columns. This worked very well, because I could use \parbox{2cm} in my use of the self-defined command. In other words, I could influence the width of the output for every table separately.

What happens now is that in one table I get two narrow columns and a space and a wider column, but in others one longer statement is not wrapped at all and two other columns with longer statements are made very narrow. Chaos.

So, I still rather have a solution with c columns and a LaTeX \parbox like solution (but then one which works).

Hi Gerben

The problem is, that \starttable[|c|c|c|] is for oneliners only.
Replace the statement with
        \newcommand{\xttable}[7]{\starttable[|p|p|p|]\HL %


Kind regards Willi Gerben Wierda wrote:
I am trying to convert to ConTeXt and I have a text with a lot of truth tables using a \ttable and \xttable command I defined. I ported these to ConTeXt but I can't get the \parbox -> \framed to work.

Looks fine:\blank
\midaligned{%
\xttable{Statement X}{Statement Y}{$\Rightarrow$}%
{unknown}{unknown}{invalid (false)}{valid (true)}
}
This doesn't work:\blank
\midaligned{%
\xttable{Some sort of longer statement}{Another sort of longer statement}%
{$\Rightarrow$}%
{unknown}{unknown}{invalid (false)}{valid (true)}
}
This doesn't work either:\blank
\midaligned{%
\xttable{\framed[width=2cm,frame=off]{Some sort of longer
statement\par}}{\framed[width=2cm,frame=off]{Another sort of longer
statement\par}}{$\Rightarrow$}%
{unknown}{unknown}{invalid (false)}{valid (true)}
