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.
Adding minwidth is possible without problems but maximum values
can be problematic because you have to do a lot of size checks
and since framed is used by many other commands you would
increase compilation time.
The better solution to have maxwidth/maxheight support is to create
a new command which uses multiple passes to get the necessary
values for both directions (which already happens for natural and
extreme tables).
