I am attempting to process html tables that are styled using css,

html browser) interprets ‘height’ as if it was a “minheight”, and
if the content does not fit, it will just enlarge the height until
it does fit.
Needless to say: I want that same functionality from the ConTeXt
table I am using to generate the PDF and not end up with text
crossing row boundaries. And I cannot figure out how
to do it, as neither bTABLE’s \bTD nor xtable’s \startxcell
interpret a “minheight" parameter. And whatever I put in “height”
becomes the absolute value of the cell height.
Did I miss something? I cannot imagine that this problem has not
come up before…
AFAIK, there is no option to do this. The closest option is
`autowidth=force` for `\framed` etc. which forces `width` to behaves as
`maxwidth`. It will be nice to explicitly add both minwidth/minheight and
maxwidth/maxheight options to framed, etc.
