Hi All,
This should be a simple problem but I can't find replicable examples in the English documentation (and I have just about everything).
Basically, I want two tables laid out on the page, one below the other, and I want to make them both the same width, despite the fact that they have different numbers of columns:
+------------------------+
| | |
+------------------------+
+------------------------+
| | | | |
+------------------------+
My declarations look something like:
\setuplayout
[width=16cm,
...]
\starttext
\starttable[|rw(.5cm)|lw(14cm)|]
...
\stoptable
\blank[4*big]
\starttable[|rw(.5cm)|lw(4.5cm)|lw(4cm)|lw(5.5cm)|]
...
\stoptable
How do I ensure that both tables are exactly the same width of 16cm? ConTeXT seems to have some kind of padding space, but I can't figure how to set this to zero. Note that for both cases all the w(xcm) parameters all add up to exactly 14.5cm (but of course there are a varying number of columns).
I found something like \SetTableToWidth{} in the Getting Started Manual, but I can't find any examples of its use, and the obvious permutations fail to compile.
Thanx,
Christopher

I'm using
\setuptables[width=16cm]

Hi all,
Since nobody feels moved to answer this question, can anybody tell me where Michael Wichura's TABLE package is documented? I tried searching CTAN with keywords "wichura" and "table" and drew a blank.
