Hi Adam,
no, I hadn't tried that -
even tough I had skimmed over that part way back, it now escaped me.

    \long\def\iconblock[#1]#2{%
    \ignorespaces
    *\startembeddedxtable[icbtable]*
    \startxrow
    \startxcell[width=17mm]
    \externalfigure[img/#1.svg][height=15mm,width=15mm]
    \stopxcell
    \startxcell #2 \stopxcell
    \stopxrow
    *\stopembeddedxtable*
    \removeunwantedspaces
    }

that did the job.

Thanks a lot Adam!
Cheers, W
