Thank you for your quick answer, Aditya. In fact, I saw this example at the end of Hans's This Way #3: \starttext \starttabulate[|r|] \NN 1.@@ \NR \NN 1.1@ \NR \NN 1.11 \NR \NN 11.11 \NR \stoptabulate \stoptext and I would like to get the same result replacing tabulate by table... What I like about \digits (and \NN) is that you can change the number format (english Vs french for example) without rewriting anything. > >> is >> there a particular reason why the \NN command is defined in 'tabulate' and >> not in 'table'? > > 'table' is just a wrapper around TaBlE macros, and due to the syntax sugar > of ConTeXt, some of the features of the original TaBlE macros are lost. > (Though I do not know if \digits thing is possible with the original TaBlE > macros or not) > >> Would it be hard to add it in 'table'? > > I believe so.

So maybe I should switch from table to tabulate for now, as I don't need vertical lines... I'll try that as a first solution.
