Dear Mojca:
I think I see what the problem is. If, instead of typing
>\bTR\bTD
> a midaligned parbox:
>\eTD\bTD[offset=0pt,width=1em] % 1em wide paragraph
> 1 2 3
>\eTD\eTR
you type
1\ 2\ 3\
you get what is wanted, namely,
1
2
3
My guess is that there is a built-in bias not to split a line
but, rather, give you an overfull \hbox. I "forced" the
issue by defining each column to be less than 1em (because "1"
is a very narrow char that surely takes less than 1 em), and
by adding a typescript space after each number. It might
even be possible to eliminate the typescript space and simply
define each column to be 0.25em, say, but I did not try it.
Best, elena
P.S. Let me know if I missed the boat entirely. This is the
first issue I attempt to answer.
Here is what I ran in LiveContext:
\starttext
\setupTABLE[frame=on] % only for debugging reasons
\setupTABLE[c][each][align=lohi] % to center vertically (any better way?)
\bTABLE
\bTR\bTD[offset=0pt,width=0.5em] % 1em wide paragraph
1\ 2\ 3\
\eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
