Hi,
when trying out different options for my last question regarding column spans I've tried out the the option regarding titles for the tabulate environment. Consider this example (adapted from the wiki):
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\setuppapersize[A6]
\starttext
\setuptabulate
[
header=text,
split=yes,
title={Fenchurch St. Paul},
]
\starttabulate[|p|p|]
\dorecurse{6}{
\NC Bells: \NC Tin tan din dan bim bam bom bo \NC\NR
\HL
\NC Name: \NC Tailor Paul \NC \NR
\HL
}
\stoptabulate
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
A couple of questions :
- Is it possible to have the title be typeset only once? I.e., it should not repeat on each page.
- How do you change the alignment of the title? (There's an align key, but that does change the alignment of the entries. Not of the title. There are headstyle and headcolor, but nothing about alignment. (\setupalign[middle] in headstyle doesn't do anything.)
- How can you add bit more space after the title?
Best,
Denis

why not just use
\subsubsubject{xxxxxxxx}

That sounds like a neat solution. I'll investigate.
Does that play nicely with structurelevels? I mean, let's say I'm somewhere higher, e.g. on chapter, the next level would be section. If I now invoke this subsubsubject manually, does that break the levels structure?
Best,
Denis

often it's ok as subjects are unnumbered but you can play safe:
\definehead[myownhead][subsubsubsubsubsubject]
\myownhead
you can then always go lower (more sub) if needed
and using dedicated head commands is also cleaner

Ok, that's what I've done now, and doesn't seem to create any problems.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Yes, this works! Thanks!
I'll try to add a section on the Wiki. Is there a reason why the second approach works while the other doesn't?

can you try

instead

Thanks again, Hans, for all the different approaches, very instructive!
However, after playing around a bit, I do have a question that I can't work out:
\getdummyparameters[headtitle=,#1]
\ifempty{\dummyparameter{headtitle}}
will never be true? See below in context:

Consider:
\startrecipe[headcolor=darkyellow] % pass on arguments to tabulate
\FL
\BC Absolute \BC Stock \BC Ingredient \BC Final \NR
\HL
\NC 1 \NR
\LL
\stoprecipe
This leaves a blank header line instead of none.
Complete example with XXXXX control:
\definehead[RecipeHead][subsubsubsubsubsubject]
\setuphead [RecipeHead][style=bolditalic,after={\blank[medium]}]
\definetabulate[recipetab][|l|l|p|l|]
\setuptabulate
[recipetab]
[bodyfont=small,
distance=medium,
before={\blank[back, small]},
headstyle=bold,
headcolor=red]
\let\stoprecipe\relax
\tolerant\protected\def\startrecipe[#1]#2\stoprecipe
{\ifempty{#1}%
\startrecipetab#2\stoprecipetab
\orelse\ifhastok={#1}%
\getdummyparameters[headtitle=,#1] % this should make headtitle by default empty, but doesn't?
\ifempty{\dummyparameter{headtitle}}XXXXX\else
\normalexpanded{\RecipeHead{\dummyparameter{headtitle}YYYY}}
\fi
\startrecipetab[#1]#2\stoprecipetab
\else
\RecipeHead{#1}
\startrecipetab#2\stoprecipetab
\fi}
some text
\startrecipe[headtitle={Head 3},headcolor=blue] % pass on arguments to tabulate
\FL
\BC Absolute \BC Stock \BC Ingredient \BC Final \NR
\HL
\NC 1 \NR
\LL
\stoprecipe
some text
\startrecipe[headcolor=darkyellow] % pass on arguments to tabulate

context has no (need for) \long ... all is long (i mever saw a reason
for using it)
(1) use a proper head:
\definehead[RecipeHead][subsubsubsubsubsubject]
\setuphead [RecipeHead][style=bolditalic,after={\blank[medium]}]
\definetabulate[recipetab][|l|l|p|l|]
\setuptabulate
[recipetab]
[bodyfont=small,
distance=medium,
before={\blank[back, small]},
headstyle=bold,
headcolor=red]
here's a one-step lmtx solution:
\let\stoprecipe\relax
\tolerant\protected\def\startrecipe[#1]#*[#2]#3\stoprecipe
{\ifcstok{#1}\emptytoks\else
\RecipeHead{#1}
\fi
\ifcstok{#2}\emptytoks
\startrecipetab#3\stoprecipetab
\else
\startrecipetab[#2]#3\stoprecipetab
\fi}
or just
\tolerant\protected\def\startrecipe[#1]#*[#2]#3\stoprecipe
{\ifempty{#1}\else
\RecipeHead{#1}
\fi
\ifempty{#2}%
\startrecipetab#3\stoprecipetab
\else
\startrecipetab[#2]#3\stoprecipetab
\fi}
and here's one that does what you ask (in the core i'd try to avoid
grabbing too much arguments and if real core we'd make sure dummy
parameters don;t interfere):
\tolerant\protected\def\startrecipe[#1]#2\stoprecipe
{\ifempty{#1}%
\startrecipetab#2\stoprecipetab
\orelse\ifhastok={#1}%
\getdummyparameters[headtitle=,#1]
\ifempty{\dummyparameter{headtitle}}\else
\normalexpanded{\RecipeHead{\dummyparameter{headtitle}}}
\fi
\startrecipetab[#1]#2\stoprecipetab
\else
\RecipeHead{#1}
\startrecipetab#2\stoprecipetab
\fi}
\startrecipe[headtitle={Head 3},headcolor=blue] % pass on arguments to
tabulate
\FL
\BC Absolute \BC Stock \BC Ingredient \BC Final \NR
\HL
\NC 1 \NR
\LL
\stoprecipe
Here's a variant:
\def\theparameter#1#2%
{\beginlocalcontrol
\begingroup
\getdummyparameters[#1=,#2]%
\normalexpanded{\endgroup\endlocalcontrol\dummyparameter{#1}}}
\tolerant\protected\def\startrecipe[#1]#2\stoprecipe
{\ifempty{#1}%
\startrecipetab#2\stoprecipetab
\orelse\ifhastok={#1}%
\edef\MyHeadTitle{\theparameter{headtitle}{#1}}%
\ifempty\MyHeadTitle\else
\normalexpanded{\RecipeHead{\MyHeadTitle}}
\fi
\startrecipetab[#1]#2\stoprecipetab
\else
\RecipeHead{#1}
\startrecipetab#2\stoprecipetab
\fi}
or just
\tolerant\protected\def\startrecipe[#1]#2\stoprecipe
{\ifempty{#1}%
\startrecipetab#2\stoprecipetab
\else
\edef\MyHeadTitle{\theparameter{headtitle}{#1}}%
\ifempty\MyHeadTitle\else
\normalexpanded{\RecipeHead{\MyHeadTitle}}
\fi
\startrecipetab[#1]#2\stoprecipetab
\fi}
or
\tolerant\protected\def\startrecipe[#1]#2\stoprecipe
{\ifempty{#1}%
\startrecipetab#2\stoprecipetab
\else
\ifcstok{\theparameter{headtitle}{#1}}\emptytoks\else
\normalexpanded{\RecipeHead{\theparameter{headtitle}{#1}}}
\fi
\startrecipetab[#1]#2\stoprecipetab
\fi}
or ... or ... or ...
just play with it a bit till you have something that looks nice in code too

To: mailing list for ConTeXt users; +Cc: Benjamin Buchmuller
Hi!
I'd like to follow up on a problem that Denis came across recently with the titles argument in tabulate. (It's more a solution than a question, but any hints to improve the answer are welcome.) I wanted to use this argument for an easy specification of, well, a title for a "recipe". The advantage is that all information is held together and it's easy to use for people who are not (too) familiar with ConTeXt.
So, in one file I can define all styles (which the end-user would not need to see):
\definetabulate[recipe][|l|l|p|l|]
\setuptabulate
[recipe]
[
bodyfont=small,
distance=medium,
before={\blank[back, small]},
header=text,
headstyle=\bi, % this formats the "\BC" cells
headcolor=red, % this formats the "\BC" cells
]
\starttext
And then use:
\startrecipe[title={Whatever mixture 1}]
\FL
\NC Absolute \BC Stock \NC Ingredient \NC Final \NR
\HL
\NC 1 \NR
\LL
\stoprecipe
\startrecipe[title={Whatever mixture 2}]
\FL
\BC Absolute \BC Stock \BC Ingredient \BC Final \NR
\HL
\NC 1 \NR
\LL
\stoprecipe
\stoptext
etc.
However, I cannot change the way the title is styled (or spaced from the table) unless I do "title={\bi Some text.}". However, blank commands are also stripped off at this place. (I also don't get a clue from the source if there is any argument to spike-in some formatting.)
So, if there is no easy way to access this one, we can work around:
\definetabulate[recipetab][|l|l|p|l|]
\setuptabulate
[recipetab]
[
bodyfont=small,
distance=medium,
before={\blank[back, small]},
% header=text, % THIS MUST NOT BE "text"
headstyle=bold,
headcolor=red,
]
\define\startrecipe{\dodoubleempty\dostartrecipe}
\long\def\dostartrecipe[#1][#2]#3\stoprecipe{%
\iffirstargument
{\bi #1}\blank[medium]
\fi
\ifsecondargument
\startrecipetab[#2]
#3
\stoprecipetab
\else
\startrecipetab
#3
\stoprecipetab
\fi
}
\startrecipe[Head 1]
\FL
\BC Absolute \BC Stock \BC Ingredient \BC Final \NR
\HL
\NC 1 \NR
\LL
\stoprecipe
\startrecipe[Head 2][headcolor=blue] % pass on arguments to tabulate
\FL
\BC Absolute \BC Stock \BC Ingredient \BC Final \NR
\HL
\NC 1 \NR
\LL
\stoprecipe
Small question though: Is there a ConTeXt way to "\long\def" or a simple way ("user interface") to filter a list of arguments for a specific key=val pair, e.g. to make a single optional argument with headertitle={Some header.}?
Best
Benjamin
