I am learning the TaBle package and I get the following from a verbatim
example from the manual.
\handleTABLEerror ...LE {columnspan too large}\SR
\or \fillTABLEcolumns \ttt...
l.54 " " \use2
control " " \\
?
! Emergency stop.
The \use#1 function always returns an error code.
With following input (exercise 5, p.61)
\BeginTable
\BeginFormat
| r | c | c | r |
\EndFormat
" " \use2 control " " \\
" " alive " dead " " \\+02
" & \use2 \= & " \\0
" low risk | 5 | ~3 | 8 " \\
" & \use3 \= & \\0
" high risk | 4 | 26 | 30 " \\
" & \use3 \= & \\0
" " 9 | 29 | 39 " \\
\EndTable
Is there a way around this snafu?
Christopher

ConTeXt uses heavily modified macros. There is \ObeyTableBarAndQuote,
but you still need to use the ConTeXt versions of the macros. See
core-tab.tex.

I see, so the TaBle manual is redundant? When's someone going to write
"The ConTeXt Book".
