How this LaTeX code could be translated into ConTeXt?

How this LaTeX code could be translated into ConTeXt?

[Jilani Khaldi]

Hi All,
Migrating to Context, I need to translate this code from Latex
\begin{table}
\begin{tabularx}{16cm}{|c|X|X|}
\hline
blabla & blabla & blabla\\
\hline
...
\hline
\end{tabularx}
\end{table}

Any hint?
Thanks!

Grazie, non ne ho bisogno. Se non trovo aiuto qui figuriamoci se lo 
trovo lì.

I already have seen there and on the manual, but I didn't find anything 
about what I am asking for.

I would appreciate a description of what you are asking for. I find
example LaTeX code without explanations less than intructive.

I just want to know how to have a table in Context with cells which can 
contain many lines each; something like this:

---------------------------------------------------
|Header1                   | header2 | header 3   |
---------------------------------------------------
|This is a text splitted   | 2005    |Thank you   |
|in 3 lines because it     |         |for the tip!|
|is very long              |         |            |
---------------------------------------------------

Or (in the spirit of Taco's example):

\bTABLE
\setupTABLE[c][1][width=4cm]
\setupTABLE[c][2,3][width=2cm] % 2nd and 3rd column
  \bTR
    \bTD Header1 \eTD
    \bTD header2 \eTD
    \bTD header3 \eTD
  \eTR
    \bTD This is a text splitted in 3 lines because it is very long \eTD
    \bTD 2005 \eTD
    \bTD Thank you for the tip! \eTD
\eTABLE

If text in a cell is very long, it will be splitted in more lines
automatically, so that the table of width \textwidth will be produced.
\bTABLE ... \eTABLE is already very clever, however, I don't know if
you can do something similar as in the LaTeX example you provided, so
that the overall table width is fixed to exactly 16 cm (also for a
very small table, which should artificially be expanded) without
having to provide the width of every single column.

See enattab.pdf for more details about natural tables.

Sorry, a little mistake, here's a fixed version:

\bTABLE
\setupTABLE[c][1][width=4cm]
\setupTABLE[c][2,3][width=2cm] % 2nd and 3rd column
  \bTR
    \bTD Header1 \eTD
    \bTD header2 \eTD
    \bTD header3 \eTD
  \eTR
  \bTR  
    \bTD This is a text splitted in 3 lines because it is very long \eTD
    \bTD 2005 \eTD
    \bTD Thank you for the tip! \eTD
  \eTR
\eTABLE

Thank you!

More precisally:

\bTABLE
\setupTABLE[c][1][width=4cm]
\setupTABLE[c][2,3][width=2cm] % 2nd and 3rd column
  \bTR
    \bTD Header1 \eTD
    \bTD header2 \eTD
    \bTD header3 \eTD 
  \eTR
  \bTR
    \bTD This is a text splitted in 3 lines because it is very long \eTD
    \bTD 2005 \eTD
    \bTD Thank you for the tip! \eTD
  \eTR  
\eTABLE

different border thicknesses in natural tables

Thank you, Vit! I'm glad that the example on the wiki was wrong about 
that (there was a "not possible" mark) :)



And here another question. I think it has already been asked a couple of 
times, but perhaps not in this context: I would like the first row (or 
column or the whole table) to have a thicker border, like in this example:

*===*===*===*
H   |   |   H
*===*===*===*
H   |   |   H
*---*---*---*
H   |   |   H
*===*===*===*

(H,=: thick; |,-: thin)

There is a dirty solution for it: prepare 16 different border types with 
Metafun (every possible combination of thin and thick border lines) and 
set the proper one for every single cell touching at least one thick border.


A dash could be used to define an additional frame spanning over more 
than one row or column:

\setupTABLE
    [1-3] % not equal to [1,2,3]; 1-3 handled as a single frame
    [1,2-3] % in this case almost equivalent to [1,1-3]
    [rulethickness=2pt]

or as in this example:

*---*---*---*
|   |   |   |
*===*===*===*
|   |   |   |
*---*---*---*
|   |   |   |
*---*---*---*

\setupTABLE
    [1-3]
    [1] % or [1-1]
    [frame=off,bottomframe=on,rulethickness=2pt]

(Special care should be taken where nx= or ny= is used and crosses the 
border.)

Does there already exist any similar functionality?

What about commands like:
     [left|right|top|bottom]offset=
     [left|right|top|bottom]framecolor=
     [left|right|top|bottom]rulethickness=
in \setupframed?

(the last two options may lead to uneven effects in the corners when 
misused)

Thank you,
	Mojca Miklavec
