List:
I'm trying to create a table with this effect:
Parcel |Area
⎧ | 1 acre trees
parcel 1 ⎨ | 2 acre vines
⎩ | 3 acre open
⎧ | 5 acre trees
parcel 2 ⎨ | 6 acre vines
⎩ | 4 acre open
In other words, I would like a big curly bracket with leftwards point spanning
three table rows to tell the reader that the leftmost column's entries apply to
a three-row span in the next column (a style often seen in tables in older
books).
Any suggestions on how I can either make these symbols render, or a different
approach to achieve my goal?
As an alternative, have you considered separating the groups by white
space. For example:
\starttext
\bTABLE[frame=off, loffset=0.5em]
\bTH
\bTD Parcel \eTD
\bTD Area \eTD
\eTH
\bTR
\bTD[nr=3, align={lohi}]
Parcel 1
\eTD
\bTD 1 acre trees \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD 2 acre vines \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD 3 acre open \eTD
\eTR
\bTR[topdistance=\lineheight]
\bTR
\bTD[nr=3, align={lohi}]
Parcel 2
\eTD
\bTD 5 acre trees \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD 6 acre vines \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD 4 acre open \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
