Is there also a way (without manually calculating the width) to stretch the whole table using a given column? Short use case: I have a table with three columns. Column 1 has an external figure, column 3 a variable length (but still short) text/string and column 2 has either no text at all or maybe a longer phrase. Columns 1 and 3 should be auto-sized (i.e as small as possible) while column 2 should be as width as necessary, to make the whole table fit perfectly onto the page (width-wise; height doesn't matter for now). I think with natural tables it was possible to set width=broad for a certain column. Is something like that possible with xtables as well? Thanks! -- Best Regards, Andreas ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
