[NTG-context] Number of rows in tables

2005-09-21 Thread Otared Kavian
Hi everyone, In the process of learning the table mechanism I followed the discussions on the list, but could not figure out whether it is possible to create a table with a given number of rows. For instance, is it possible to add something to Mojca's solution for cells with backgrounds

Hi everyone, Actually the solution to my own question is quite simple... :-) The appropriate use of \dorecurse does the thing: \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext % row 1 \setupTABLE[r][1][% style=bold,background=color,backgroundcolor=green,align=middle] \setupTABLE[c][1][width=3cm] % column 1

Hi, \starttyping needs to be followed by a newline, but macro arguments cannot contain newlines unless \obeylines is in effect. So: \def\StartLong{\begingroup\obeylines\doStartLong} \long\def\doStartLong#1\StopLong{\scantokens{#1}\endgroup} Cheers, Taco David Munger wrote: I do need
