table and tabulate "negative" extra spacing

table and tabulate "negative" extra spacing

[Alan Braslau]

Hello,

In \starttable and \starttabulate, one can add extra blank space
between rows using \TB[...].

Is there some way to add "negative" spacing, that is to tighten or
reduce the spacing between any two rows?

Thanks,

Alan

Just use negative space:

\TB[-line]

or

\TB[-3cm]

Interesting, this (obvious) feature works in the MWE below, but is
without effect in my real use case. I'll have to investigate...

\starttext

\startplacetable
\starttable [|c|c|]
\NC 1 \VL first row \AR
\TB[-1cm]
\NC 2 \VL second row \AR
\stoptable
\stopplacetable

\blank [5cm]

\startplacetable
\starttabulate [|c|c|]
\NC 1 \VL first row \NC\NR
\TB[-1cm]
\NC 2 \VL second row \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\stopplacetable

\stoptext
