TABLE problems

TABLE problems

[Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini]

Hallo,

I have two problems/questions with the following tables:

1. Should'nt all the columns be .2\textwidth, as in the last table?
2. Why expands column width to \textwidth in the second table?
   Has to do with \type{} and/or color!
3. Why behaves table 1 (with \type{}) as table 3 (whitout \type{})?

Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

sorry, no to your questions but the following setup works:

\setupTABLE[row][odd][background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray]
\setupTABLE[width=.2\textwidth]

why do you repeat the setup command for every table, the first one is
global and should work for every table in your document, unless you
make a setup local within a group or a float.
