[NTG-context] Still struggling with TABLE width
Hi,
as the subject says: I am still confused about widths of TABLE tables.
\bTABLE % [option=stretch]
\bTR
\bTD
A
\eTD
\bTD
A
\eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD[nc=2]
%\hbox{A very very long text in one line, perhaps more}
A very very long text in one line, perhaps more
\eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
what I'd like to get is a table that is as wide as the text in the second row
(A very very long text in one line, perhaps more) or at most the line width and
the other two cells (the first line) stretched to mach that width (see image).
I am pretty sure that this is possible, but how?!?
Patrick

It's the same issue as with the cow.
Perhaps a bug-report in the tracker would help...
A workaround could be, to measure first the width of the content (\setbox...
or similar) and then adjust the width=... options for the table cells.
Cheers, Peter

there is a first pass measuring the natural width and with the whole
table is too wide to fit hsize, the available width is equally
distributed, unless a width is forced
