[NTG-context] How to increase left and right padding of cells in a natural table?
Hello, I'm using natural tables (\bTABLE ... \eTABLE) andI want to increase the space between the cells borders and the text inside the cells (CSS calls that left-padding and right-padding). I didn't use parameter "offset" because I want to increase only left and right padding. I don't want to increase top and bottom padding. How can I do that?

Vit, I just tried your solution, but it doesn't work: it adds space to the four side of table cells. But I want to add space ONLY TO LEFT AND RIGHT, not to top and bottom, like in the following illustration: - |My text| - --offset-- --offset-- Nicolas Grilly wrote: Hello, I'm using natural tables (\bTABLE ... \eTABLE) and/ /I want to increase the space between the cells borders and the text inside the cells (CSS calls that left-padding and right-padding).

Hans, Thanks for your help, but I don't know where to put your code. I tried the following code (and other similar solutions) but it doesn't work: \bTABLE \bTR \bTH My Title \eTH \bTH Your title \eTH \eTR \bTR \bTD First try \eTD \bTD Second try \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD First movie \eTD \bTD \leftskip1cm \leftskip\rightskip Second movie \eTD \eTR \eTABLE Moreover, I want to set this not for one table cell but for EVERY table cells. Do you have any advice?

top and bottom, like in the following illustration:
-
|My text|
-
inside the cell
\leftskip1em \rightskip\leftskip
Not to four sides but between columns. Rows distance is not affected.
But you are right it does not increase distance between text and cell
frame. Since natural tables uses \framed construct in each cell and
\framed has no 'before'/'after'/'hoffset'/'leftoffset'/'rightoffset' it
can not be simply set for whole natural table.
Solution?
a) quick:
\bTD \hskip1cm Second movie \hskip2cm\null\eTD
or with macro:
\newdimen\lOffset \lOffset=1cm
\newdimen\rOffset \rOffset=2cm
\def\myNatTabCell#1{\bTD\hskip\lOffset#1\hskip\rOffset\null\eTD}
...
\myNatTabCell{Second movie}
...
b) systematic
create alternative \extframed with 'before', 'after', 'hoffset',
'leftoffset', 'rightoffset', 'voffset', 'topoffset', 'bottomoffset'
and add switches:
\bTABLE[alternative=extframed,leftoffset=1cm,rightoffset=2cm]
Vit
Minimal example:
---
\starttext
\bTABLE[frame=on]
\bTR
\bTH My Title \eTH
\bTH Your title \eTH
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD First try \eTD
\bTD Second try \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD First movie \eTD
\bTD \hskip1cm Second movie \hskip2cm\null\eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] How to increase left and right padding of cells in a natural table?
Vit,
Thanks for your quick answer. I tried your quick solution (\bTD \hskip1cm
Second movie \hskip2cm\null\eTD) but it doesn't work when cell contains a
multiline text: the left space is only present on the first line and the
right space is only present on the last line.
Andmy natural table have some cells containing two or three lines of text.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks,
Nicolas
PS: If someone is able to develop an extension to natural tables in order to
have parameters like leftoffset, rightoffset, topoffset and bottomoffset in
bTABLE and setupTABLE, my company is interested to pay some hours/days of
development and release the result to ConTeXt project.
