TABLE in TABLE

TABLE in TABLE

[Peter Münster]

Hello,
a little feature request: a TABLE in a TABLE
It would be nice, if something like the following could work:

\starttext
\bTABLE
\bTR\bTD bla\eTD \eTR
\bTR\bTD
  \bTABLE
  \bTR\bTD 1\eTD \eTR
  \bTR\bTD 2\eTD \eTR
  \eTABLE
\eTD \eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext

Cheers, Peter

I had the same idea, but I used \bgroup and \egroup instead of {}, and that
does not work. Strange...
Thank you, Hans!

not if you imagine that we have

\def\bTABLE[#1==options]#2\eTABLE

and something #2 can handle {nested stuff} but in the case of a \bgroup 
it means that #2==\bgroup  etc etc

It has to do with the way how TABLE is implemented, each cell is defined as

\def\bTD#1\eTD{...}

this means when TeX sees a \bTD in the input it grabs everything till 
the \eTD,
let's take a loo at this example

\bTABLE \bTR
     \bTD
       \bTABLE \bTR
         \bTD text \eTD
       \eTR \eTABLE
     \eTD
\eTR \eTABLE

The \bTD from the outer table reads everything till the \eTD from the 
inner table
and what ends up as real content for the table cell where you wanted 
another table is

\bTABLE \bTR
   \bTD text

As you can see the \bTD as delimiting \eTD to end the cell and this is what
cause the error message you get. The braces ({...}) as suggested from 
the others
help in this case because the hide the \eTD from the outer table and buffers
as suggested from Taco are another way to get around this.

Thanks all of you.
In other kind of ideas: is it a bug? Why we need {} for embed tables and 
not for embed itemizes in itemizes for example?

Please CCme

IIRC, putting the nested table in a buffer should work, but
maybe it is good enough to just add a brace group around it:
\bTD { \bTABLE ... \eTABLE } \eTD

Best wishes,
Taco

Hi,

Is it possible to put a table in another table?
Example: this code gives me an error:
