I see, so the TaBle manual is redundant? When's someone going to write 
"The ConTeXt Book".

ConTeXt uses heavily modified macros.  There is \ObeyTableBarAndQuote,
but you still need to use the ConTeXt versions of the macros.  See
core-tab.tex.

[NTG-context] TaBle example fails

2004-03-30 Thread Christopher G D Tipper 
I am learning the TaBle package and I get the following from a verbatim 
example from the manual.

\handleTABLEerror ...LE {columnspan too large}\SR 
  \or \fillTABLEcolumns \ttt...
l.54 "   " \use2
 control "   " \\
? 
! Emergency stop.

The \use#1 function always returns an error code.

With following input (exercise 5, p.61)

\BeginTable
\BeginFormat
| r |   c   |   c   |   r   |
\EndFormat
"   " \use2 control "   " \\
"   " alive " dead  "   " \\+02
"   & \use2 \=  &   " \\0
" low risk  | 5 |  ~3   |   8   " \\
"   & \use3 \=  & \\0
" high risk | 4 |  26   |  30   " \\
"   & \use3 \=  & \\0
"   " 9 |  29   |  39   " \\
\EndTable

Is there a way around this snafu?
