Full example at the bottom.

I'm making a table.  So far so good.

Every so often I want to make something like a section header.

Regular table rows are like this:

\bTR\bTC \eTC\bTC NightShift \eTC\bTC Tension Lines 146 - 150 \eTC\eTR

For the section headers, I do this, and they look the way I want:

\bTR\bTC 30. \eTC \bTC[nc=2,align=center,style=] \bf{Foo Bar} \eTC\eTR

But then the regular lines have ugly line breaks and suddenly the column size of column 3 is squeezed.  This shouldn't be, we have the whole page to work with.

So, when I do my section headers this way, the columns come out sized nicely, but the section header isn't styled the way I want it:

\bTR\bTC 30. \eTC \bTC\eTC \bTC[align=center] \bf{Foo Bar} \eTC\eTR

Below is my minimal example you can cut and paste.  How do I do the section
headers without messing up the column sizing?


\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided,location=none,page=no]
\setupfootertexts[\sans{Source: http://mywebsite}]
\setupheadertexts[test column text wrapping]
\setupheadertexts
  [] [Page \userpagenumber\ of \lastuserpagenumber]
  [Page \userpagenumber\ of \lastuserpagenumber] []
\setuppapersize[letter, portrait]
\setuplayout[topspace=0.5in, backspace=1in, height=10in, width=7in,
             header=0.5in, footer=0.5in, headerdistance=0in, footerdistance=0in]
\switchtobodyfont[12pt]
\starttext
\setupTABLE[split=repeat]
\setupTABLE[r][each][toffset=3pt, boffset=3pt, loffset=3pt, roffset=3pt]
\setupTABLE[c][each][leftframe=off,rightframe=off,align=right]
\setupTABLE[c][first][frame=off,align=left]
\setupTABLE[c][2][style=\tfx\it,align=left]
\bTABLE
\bTABLEhead
\bTR\bTH Col1 \eTH\bTH Col2 \eTH\bTH Col3 \eTH\eTR
\eTABLEhead
\bTABLEnext
\bTR\bTH Col1 \eTH\bTH Col2 \eTH\bTH Col3 \eTH\eTR
\eTABLEnext
\bTABLEbody
\bTR\bTC \eTC\bTC NightShift \eTC\bTC Tension Lines 146 - 150 \eTC\eTR

% This displays the way I want, but breaks the regular rows.
\bTR\bTC 30. \eTC \bTC[nc=2,align=center,style=] \bf{Foo Bar} \eTC\eTR

% This works with the regular rows, but doesn't look how I want.
%\bTR\bTC 30. \eTC \bTC\eTC \bTC[align=center] \bf{Foo Bar} \eTC\eTR
\eTABLEbody
\eTABLE
\stoptext
