How do I create a table like this in ConTeXt?

How do I create a table like this in ConTeXt?

[Gerben Wierda]

In LaTeX, a tabular environment produces a box which then can be part 
of another tabular. I tried to do the same with ConTeXt, but failed.

Can someone tell me how to produce

with ConTeXt?

Thanks,

Hi Gerben,

There are different options.
first of all I would have a look into \bTABLE ...\eTABLE constructs see 
enatab.pdf manual.
secondly you might use \starttabulate ..\stoptabulate look at MAPS22 
Voorjaar 1999, pp 153.

I did look at that. I cannot see how that helps me recreating the 
example I posted, sorry.

PS. Is it me or is tabulating in ConTeXt a bit counterintuitive? For 
instance, take the exampl efrom MAPS:

\starttabulate[|l|k2c|r|]
\NC this and that \NC left and right \NC here and there \NC \NR

Why 4(!) \NC's here? There are only 3 columns...

As always: Go to http://www.pragma-ade.com/dir/  and look around.

Well, in prinziple two \NC would be enough "col1 \NC col2 \NC col3 \NR";
but the idea is seeming as follows:
anytime a new column begins/ends the \NC is added,  add it always when
you would add a vertical line in a table (though nice-looking tables
shan't have that many "|").

That link did not work, but going one dir higher and then selecting 
worked. Thanks.

to keep it kind of code-compatible with the starttable mechanism where each 
column is separated by NC or VL or .. ; just consider NC to be a column boundary 
mark

interesting thought -)

as with most table mechanism that use halign, some separator is needed; also, in 
context actually there are (hidden) extra columns used for spacing issues;

i once had a bunch of macros that took the ibm line/corner chars as separators, 
kind of ascii wysiwyg

Having looked at these examples, I wonder if there is also a good 
description somewhere. For instance, how do I influence borders of 
cells? Can I have a dashed border (as in my LaTeX example which btw 
uses hvdashline.sty).
