Marco,

> \setuptabulate  [alpha] [bodyfont=small]

This does not work for me quite the way I need it to. I am really just after defining the font-size, but I would like to leave the column setup to the user (I am building an environment and that I would like everyone in my team to use to ensure a consistent look-and-feel or all documents). So, ideally, I would like to do this:

...but that does not seem to work. Any way I can achieve this?

Sure. Will do, once I have this working.

Thank you,
Malte.

Fwd: Need help with \definetabulate

[Malte Stien]

Any pointers anyone? I need to get this working and am running out of ideas.

Thank you,

Re: Fwd: Need help with \definetabulate

[Sietse Brouwer]

The problem is that \starttabulate does not accept a format parameter.

Cheap solution (only figured it out now, or I'd have replied before): use

\setuptabulate[alpha][format={....}]

before every \startalpha call.
It's not very contexty syntax, but on the other hand it requires no
new definitions at all.

Full example below.
Cheers,
Sietse

\definetabulate[alpha][|l|] % dummy format
\setuptabulate[alpha][style=bold]

\setuptabulate[alpha][format={|r|r|r|}]
\startalpha
\NC r \NC r \NC r \NC \NR
\NC test \NC test \NC test \NC \NR
\stopalpha

\setuptabulate[alpha][format={|c|c|}]
\startalpha
\NC c \NC c \NC \NR
\NC test \NC test \NC \NR
\stopalpha

Can you add a second argument to custom tabulation which would allow one to write

  \startwhatever[format={…}]

or

  \startwhatever[else][format={…}]

to change the number of columns and format for a certain table.

To refer to a table, you place it as a float and use the
`reference=tab:alphatable` key. Then in the text you refer to the
table, see \in{table}[tab:alphatable].

Need help with \definetabulate

[Malte Stien]

Hi,

I am trying to define two tabulate styles as follows:

- \setuptabulate[split=yes, bodyfont=small]
- \setuptabulate[split=yes]

...such that I can just refer to them when I \starttabulate...\stoptabulate somewhere. I thought, the command \definetabulate would come in handy here, but I can't work it out and it appears the documentation on that command is pretty scarce.

  http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definetabulate

Any help?
Thank you,
Malte.
