[NTG-context] tables, etc.

2005-06-23 Thread Jörg Hagmann

Dear list members,

I have the following questions:

1) I want a table at textwidth. The contents of the boxes don't fit on 
one line. When I use |lp|lp| etc., the width of the table is a 
fraction of textwidth, and the contents of the columns overlay each 
other (with long, unhyphenated words). I found \SetTableToWidth{} in 
the beginner's manual (Table 11.3), but no matter where I placed that, 
it didn't do anything, nor did all my other attempts. I finally 
adjusted the table by hand (|lp(4cm)| etc). Is there a way of setting 
the width of the table and let ConTEXt do the rest?


2) The horizontal rules (\HL) are a bit longer than the the text in the 
table. How does one adjust them such that they are flush on both sides? 
I tried with \DL, but didn't get what I hoped for.


3) I am using uncaptioned figures in the margin. When they are too 
close, they overlap. Is there a way of making them know of each other's 
existence (I sometimes want them as close as possible), or do I have to 
place the code at an appropriate position myself?


Thank you for your patience, Jörg
