Re: [NTG-context] xtables: rowwise, columnwise, and cellwise operations

2018-01-05 Thread Alan Braslau 
No, in ConTeXt one NEVER, EVER mixes key=value lists with simple
keywords (parsing would otherwise be very less efficient).

The feature to be able to declare a "namespace" (such as the
one called "suffix") having particular values of its parameters is
really powerful. Think of it as "xtable:suffix" that inherits from the
namespace "xtable" but then lives a life of its own...

\startxcell takes and optional namespace specification, i.e. [suffix]
and an optional key=value list of parameters, i.e. [ny=2,...]. These
parameters override locally the values that are otherwise carried by
the namespace.

ConTeXt gurus: I hope that I have gotten this explanation right.

apparently

>\startxcell[suffix][ny=2] cell a 1 \stopxcell

should be

   \startxcell[suffix, ny=2] cell a 1 \stopxcell

[NTG-context] xtables: rowwise, columnwise, and cellwise operations

2018-01-04 Thread Henri 
Dear list,

The Natural Tables have this great feature that I can control the layout with 
rowwise, columnwise,
or cellwise setups.  For example:


\starttext

\setupTABLE [frame=off]
\setupTABLE [r] [first] [topframe=on,bottomframe=on,style=bold]
\setupTABLE [c] [2] [style=italic]
\setupTABLE [2] [3] [color=red]
\setupTABLE [r] [last]  [bottomframe=on]
\startTABLE
  \NC A \NC A \NC A \NC\NR
  \NC B \NC B \NC B \NC\NR
  \NC C \NC C \NC C \NC\NR
  \NC D \NC D \NC D \NC\NR
  \NC E \NC E \NC E \NC\NR
\stopTABLE

\stoptext


How can I do such a thing with Extreme Tables?  If it is not yet possible I'd 
like to request the
inclusion of such a mechanism.

Cheers, Henri
