Recommended table environment?

Recommended table environment?

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hello,

I have a project where I think ConTeXt really fits well, so I have a first question (after a looong period of absence). Is there a recommended table environment? I give an example in the attached PDF. What I need:

* have influence on the column width (2 columns, both same size)
* automatic split with repeating headers
* more than one paragraph (with fill in rules) in a cell possible (but this simulated by invisible cells)
* some borders (not so sure about that...)


Thanks!

Patrick

tables like the example can best be made with bTABLE .. eTABLE or with 
the new startxtable .. stopxtable mechanism

for multi par content set align=flushleft for the cell

Indeed there is -- see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tables_Overview :

* Tabulate (tabulation, recommended for simple requirements)
* TABLE (natural tables, HTML tables, recommended)

I tend to use TABLE for everything, and I believe it will meet all
your stated requirements.
