Not sure how to do it with all the other table interfaces (what is
their deprecation status anyway?), but:
% set background of first (1) column (c) to gray
\setupTABLE[c][1][background=color,backgroundcolor=gray]
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \bTD test \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
The syntax looks rather familiar if you've ever constructed tables in
HTML. You may wish to define your own color (before setupTABLE, and
replacing "gray" with "myowngray" there):
\definecolor[myowngray][s=0.3]
"s=" defines a grayscale color; 0 is black, 1 is white. Of course, you
may choose a different name.

[NTG-context] Background color of table cells?
I'm setting up a table, for which I'd like the first column to have a
background of a middle gray. According to the wiki, something like this
should work:
\starttable[|p(4cm)|p(11.75cm)|]
\HL
\BL[1]\AR
\VL\tfa{\bf A bit of text}\VL A lot of text, which will be broken up into
several lines\VL\AR
\HL
\stoptable
There are two problems here: (1) the background covers only the line of "A
bit of text" and not the entire cell, and (2) the background color is too
light.
I experimented with this from the wiki:
\starttabulate[|CR{red}c|CC{yellow}c|CM{green}c|CL{blue}c|]
\NC test \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR
\NC test \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR
\NC test \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR
\NC test \NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR
\stoptabulate
but it produced no colors at all (and yes, I do have colors turned on).
How can I achieve the effect I'm after?
Thanks,
Alasdair

[NTG-context] Squashing up lines?
I'm preparing a grant application, for which the template is given in MS Word, and for which the instructions are that the final application must be no more than 4 pages. I'm trying to re-create the Word doc in ConTeXt, and to keep within the page limit I'd like the text to be as tight as possible. This means: minimal space before and after an itemize environment, and between items. And also minimum space between lines. I'm using the Arial font, so as to most closely approximate the MS Word original. How can I do this?

But I did add http://standalone.contextgarden.net as an alias of http://minimals.contextgarden.net and updated the header & footer HTML pages there. Also, rsync now knows of the existence of an extra 'standalone' module as well as the 'minimals' module which is still present.
