Hi,

I want to format a bunch a tables with the same formatting.
It seems that specifying the \setupTABLE commands as part of the preamble works.

However, I need some tables that are formatted in another way.
Is there a generic way to specify this?

Here is a MWE:
```
\setupTABLE[frame=off, offset=2pt]
\setupTABLE[row][first][topframe=on, bottomframe=on, style=bf]
\setupTABLE[row][last][bottomframe=on]
\setupTABLE[row][even][background=color,backgroundcolor=red]

\setupcolors[state=start]

\starttext

A table:\\
\bTABLE
	\bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR
	\bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR
	\bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
\blank[line]

Another table with the same format:\\
\bTABLE
	\bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR
	\bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR
	\bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
\blank[line]

This table should be formatted in another way (actually not formatted):\\
\bTABLE
	\setupTABLE[row][each][topframe=off, bottomframe=off, style=, background=]
	\bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR
	\bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR
	\bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
\blank[line]

This does not work either:\\
{
\setupTABLE[row][each][topframe=off, bottomframe=off, style=, background=]
% \setupTABLE[row][1,2,3][topframe=off, bottomframe=off, style=, background=] % this deactivates the color at least
\bTABLE
	\bTR \bTD head1 \eTD \bTD head2 \eTD \eTR
	\bTR \bTD data1 \eTD \bTD data2 \eTD \eTR
	\bTR \bTD data3 \eTD \bTD data4 \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
}

\stoptext
```

The last two tables should be formatted as if the four setupTABLE commands in the header are not existent.
My solution does not work, however.

1. Put your table settings in a setups-block and load the one you want 
at the start of your table.

2. You don't need \setupcolors[state=start] because colors are enabled 
by default (since a veee...eeery long time).

3. You can replace \bTD ... \eTD with \bTH ... \eTH for table headers to 
get bold text.

%%%% begin example
\startsetups[table:a]
   \setupTABLE [each] [frame=off,width=1cm,height=1cm,align={middle,lohi}]
   \setupTABLE [each] [background=color,backgroundcolor=lightgray]
\stopsetups

\startsetups[table:b]
   \setupTABLE [each] 
[frame=off,width=2cm,height=1.2\lineheight,align=middle]
   \setupTABLE [each] [topframe=on,bottomframe=on]
\stopsetups

\starttext

\bTABLE
   \bTR
     \bTD A \eTD
     \bTD B \eTD
   \eTR
   \bTR
     \bTD C \eTD
     \bTD D \eTD
   \eTR
\eTABLE

\blank

\bTABLE[setups=table:a]
   \bTR
     \bTD A \eTD
     \bTD B \eTD
   \eTR
   \bTR
     \bTD C \eTD
     \bTD D \eTD
   \eTR
\eTABLE

\blank

\bTABLE[setups=table:b]
   \bTR
     \bTD A \eTD
     \bTD B \eTD
   \eTR
   \bTR
     \bTD C \eTD
     \bTD D \eTD
   \eTR
\eTABLE

\stoptext
%%%% end example

Thank you very much! That are a bunch of nice tricks. The setups environment is really powerful.
I will actively search for this keyword in the documentation next time.
