Re: proportional column widths in natural tables?

[Stefan Wachter <stefan.wachter@gmx.de>]

Hi Willi,

thanks for your reply. Can you please tell me, what the makeupwidth is?

It seems that I have to do some calculations for the widths by myself: I 
have a CALS table model where the widths are specified by proportional 
weights. -> I have to sum the weigths of all columns and divide each of 
the weights by this sum in order to get the necessary stretch factors 
for each column.

I hoped the ConTeXt has already a mechanism for this kind of specifiying 
the widths.
