xtable in def or setups

xtable in def or setups

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to create an xtable from within a \def (or within a \setups)
but always run into "runaway error: end of file encountered"
whenever the xtable-commands are in there.

    \definextable[icbtable]
    \setupxtable[icbtable]
    [frame=off,
    top=\vskip7mm]
    \long\def\iconblock[#1]#2{%
    \ignorespaces
    \startxtable[icbtable]
    \startxrow
    \startxcell[width=17mm]
    \externalfigure[img/#1.svg][height=15mm,width=15mm]
    \stopxcell
    \startxcell #2 \stopxcell
    \stopxrow
    \stopxtable
    \removeunwantedspaces
    }

Is this simply not possible or am I doing something wrong there?

Thank you,

Hi Werner,

Did you try startembeddedxtable ?

See Section 5 in the manual (
https://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xtables-mkiv.pdf).

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
