hi Gerben,

No, the \NC means new column and in order to organize this I believe it is natural to start with \NC and end with \NC\NR to indicate a new row to be started.Hi Willi,
Thanks.
If what you changed was the addition of the (2cm) stuff, I did try that but it did not change anything at that time.
But now I notice that I need to start my rows with a \NC. I would have thought that a \NC would be like a \crlf or a \page and that it would have been implied in the \NR command. I find this counterintuitive.
Anyway, Having that (2cm) stuff in the \startabulate makes all tables the same in column width. I used to be able to have one command \xttable where the result depended on what I had in the main text.
What about extend your definition with another parameter?
\newcommand{\xttable}[8]{\starttable[|p(#8)|p(#8)|p(#8)|] ...KR

So, yes, I can use p columns, but that means that all of my tables will hae to have identical column widths. That is why I wanted to use c columns and have that decision in the text. So I would still be interested in a way of doing \parbox in ConTeXt.
(For non-LaTeX users \parbox{2cm}{text text text text etc} creates a paragraph 2 cm wide and sets the text in it. The height of the box is the result of that typesetting.)

Hi Gerben,
There is no worry about the mentioned chaos. You might be lucky, that your definition is giving a result at all.
If you consult the manual or read the article in the MAPS22 on tabulating, you will see, that you missed a correct setup of the tabulation.
I attach my version and it works.

Here is the example again, now with p columns. Never mind the non-working third example (ConTeXt wraps three elements in the third column now but not inside the \framed), but it seems that ConTeXt does not wrap the first column at all. As a result, the other two are very small.

PS. The ConTeXT manual does not have \starttable documentation, not does the wiki (how does 'p' work etc).
