Hi Gerben and all, A slow reaction from me. As the author of the bib module, I urge everybody *not* to use the module for its side effect of defining some LaTeX commands, because LaTeX support will almost certainly be dropped in the near future. Greetings, Taco Gerben Wierda wrote: I am trying to

I am trying to convert to ConTeXt and I have a text with a lot of truth tables using a \ttable and \xttable command I defined. I ported these to ConTeXt but I can't get the \parbox - \framed to work. % Example document with truth tables starts here \usemodule[bib] % defines \newcommand

Hi Gerben The problem is, that \starttable[|c|c|c|] is for oneliners only. Replace the statement with \newcommand{\xttable}[7]{\starttable[|p|p|p|]\HL % Kind regards Willi Gerben Wierda wrote: I am trying to convert to ConTeXt and I have a text with a lot of truth tables using a \ttable

Here is the example again, now with p columns. Never mind the non-working third example (ConTeXt wraps three elements in the third column now but not inside the \framed), but it seems that ConTeXt does not wrap the first column at all. As a result, the other two are very small. G PS. The

Hi Gerben, There is no worry about the mentioned chaos. You might be lucky, that your definition is giving a result at all. If you consult the manual or read the article in the MAPS22 on tabulating, you will see, that you missed a correct setup of the tabulation. I attach my version and it

Indeed, there is no \starttable info in the manuals. You might have a look into the sources:core-tab.tex. But what I can see, is, that you do not use vertical lines. If all tables are such, then I would suggest to use \starttabulate instead. KR Willi Gerben Wierda wrote: Here is the example

Hi Willi, Thanks. If what you changed was the addition of the (2cm) stuff, I did try that but it did not change anything at that time. But now I notice that I need to start my rows with a \NC. I would have thought that a \NC would be like a \crlf or a \page and that it would have been implied
