Placing tables

Placing tables

[David Arnold]

All,

This works:

\setupTABLE[y][odd][background=color,backgroundcolor=gray,frame=on]
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD $p(x)=x^{3}-x^{2}-1$ \eTD \bTD \type{p=[1 -1 0 -1]}   \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD $q(x)=x^{4}-x^{2}-x$ \eTD \bTD \type{q=[1 0 -1 -1 0]} \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD $r(x)=x^{4}-2x^{2}$  \eTD \bTD \type{r=[1 0 -2 0 0]}  \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE

But this doesn't:

\placetable
[here][tbl:matlabpolys]
{Matlab represents polynomials with vectors.}
\setupTABLE[y][odd][background=color,backgroundcolor=gray,frame=on]
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD $p(x)=x^{3}-x^{2}-1$ \eTD \bTD \type{p=[1 -1 0 -1]}   \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD $q(x)=x^{4}-x^{2}-x$ \eTD \bTD \type{q=[1 0 -1 -1 0]} \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD $r(x)=x^{4}-2x^{2}$  \eTD \bTD \type{r=[1 0 -2 0 0]}  \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE

How come? And how can I "place" a table with this new technique for setting
tables? I want it centered, referenced, and captioned.

It's 

\placetable
  [here][tbl:...]
  {caption}
  {table definition}

So, the last one should be grouped (actually a box). So, you should add {}

suggestion: 

\startbuffer
table def
\stopbuffer

\placetable[...][...]{...}{\getbuffer}

this is more readable.

This kind of tables doesn't work with my ConTeXt (I've obtained the latest
version
from PRAGMA yesterday). What should I include (some module? where I can get
it?)?

Many thanks!

Michal Kvasnicka

P.S. I probably sent the letter to someone in the group -- it was my mistake.
I humbly apologize. I forget too often that the mail is going not to the
group,
but to the sender. I'm sorry.

You need the beta version for this to work. (and don't forget to enable
color) Your table comes out ok here.
