setuptabulate

setuptabulate

[Hans van der Meer]

What is with tabulation? I use it because I find it handy, but the  
setuptabulate seems not working.

\starttext
\setuptabulate[align=middle,rulethickness=1pt]
\starttabulate[|c|c|]
	\NC abc \NC xyz \NC\NR
	\NC def \NC uvw \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\stoptext

This gives NO alignment and NO rule. Is something wrong?
Ran at the wiki live-ConTeXt and got the same negative result.

yours sincerely,

I'm surprised that tabulates should have align and rule at all, but  
texshow states so.
Why don't you use some sort of table?

The answer is simple: because I like the tabulation construct.

If you need rules, you must use some kind of table. It's no big change:

\setuptables[rulethickness=1pt]
\starttable[|c|c|]
	\NC abc \VL xyz \NC\AR
	\NC def \VL uvw \NC\AR
\stoptable

And you must use \VL for a vertical line instead of \NC

To put this another way, the | symbol only separates the column
templates, it does not imply a vertical line.

this kind of alignments only influences the p entries

\starttext

\setuptabulate[align=left]

\starttabulate
\NC test \NC \input tufte \NC \NR
\stoptabulate

\setuptabulate[align=right]

\starttabulate
\NC test \NC \input tufte \NC \NR
\stoptabulate

\stoptext

Thanks. I did not realize that the alignment had to do with the  
paragraphs inside the columns.
Centering of a tabulation I now realize with:

\starttext
\midaligned{\vbox{\starttabulate[|c|c|]
	\NC a \NC bcd \NC\NR
	\NC xy \NC finally \NC\NR
\stoptabulate}}
\stoptext

yours sincerely,
