Tabulate: no hooks?

Tabulate: no hooks?

[Giuseppe Bilotta]

Hello,

I'm using the lates (I hope) version of ConTeXt (the beta version is more recent
than the stable, isn't it?). I tried the snippet from the Up-to-Date on Natural
Tables:

\def\SomeBar#1{\blackrule[#1em]}
\starttabulate[|l|lh\SomeBar|]
\HL
\NC \bf item \NC \bf quantity \NC \NR
\HL
\NC figures \HC {5} \NC \NR
\NC tables \HC {8} \NC \NR
\NC formulas \HC {12} \NC \NR
\HL
\stoptabulate

but the numbers are displayed rather than the bars ... any suggestions?

Thanks.

I guess that it was lost when implementing some alignment extension:

\def\checktabulatehook%
  {\ifnum\tabulatetype<2
     \global\let\tabulatehook\notabulatehook
   \else
     \global\let\tabulatehook\dotabulatehook
   \fi}

concerning this extension: 

\long\def\SomeBar#1 {\blackrule[width=#1em,height=1ex]}

\starttabulate[|l|lh\SomeBar|cg{@}|c.|c,|]
\HL
\NC \bf item \NC \bf quantity \NC @     \NC .     \NC ,        \NC \NR
\HL
\NC figures  \HC  5           \NG 12@34 \NG 12.34 \NG 12,34.56 \NC \NR
\NC tables   \HC  8           \NG 2@34  \NG 2.34  \NG 2,34.56  \NC \NR
\NC formulas \HC  12          \NG 12@3  \NG 12.3  \NG 12,34.5  \NC \NR
\HL
\stoptabulate
