\bTABLE[distance=...]

\bTABLE[distance=...]

[Peter Münster]

Hello,

when using \bTABLE[distance=...], the table gets wider than the textwidth.
Example:

\starttext
\input tufte

\bTABLE
\bTR\bTD bla bla bla bla\eTD\bTD
\input tufte
\eTD\eTR
\eTABLE

\bTABLE[distance=3em]
\bTR\bTD bla bla bla bla\eTD\bTD
\input tufte
\eTD\eTR
\eTABLE

\input tufte
\stoptext

A workaround seems to be textwidth=\dimexpr\textwidth-3em\relax
Could this be done automatically?

Cheers, Peter

I expect it can (and should) be. Stuff sticking out in the margin
is always bad ;-)

you can enable that line in core-ntb and see what happens

Yes, thanks! But the next issues follow immediately:
just consider leftmargindistance= and rightmargindistance= at the place of
distance=.

well, i let you consider and test the following -)

\def\dochecktblwidths#1%
  {\iftraceTABLE\showtblwids{B#1}\fi
   \!!dimena\hsize
   \!!counta\zerocount
% test, dunno yet
\advance\!!dimena-\tbltblleftmargindistance
\advance\!!dimena-\tbltblrightmargindistance
\advance\!!dimena-\tbltblcolumndistance
   \dorecurse\maximumcol
     {\scratchdimen\gettblaut\recurselevel\relax
% test, seems to work ok
\advance\!!dimena-\gettbldis\recurselevel\relax

etc etc

Thanks! All combinations of leftmargindistance, rightmargindistance and
distance seems to give the expected results.

What is the difference between distance and columndistance?
I thought the one was just a synonym for the other, but now I see, that you
treat them differently. And indeed, the result is different:

\starttext
\input tufte

\bTABLE[leftmargindistance=1em,rightmargindistance=1em,columndistance=2em]
\bTR\bTD bla bla bla bla\eTD\bTD bla bla bla bla\eTD\bTD
bla bla blabla bla blabla bla blabla bla blabla bla blabla bla blabla bla
blabla bla blabla bla blabla bla blabla bla blabla bla blabla bla
\eTD\eTR
\eTABLE

\bTABLE[leftmargindistance=1em,rightmargindistance=1em,distance=2em]
\bTR\bTD bla bla bla bla\eTD\bTD bla bla bla bla\eTD\bTD
bla bla blabla bla blabla bla blabla bla blabla bla blabla bla blabla bla
blabla bla blabla bla blabla bla blabla bla blabla bla blabla bla
\eTD\eTR
\eTABLE

\input tufte
\stoptext

If I change the line
\advance\!!dimena-\tbltblcolumndistance
to
\dorecurse{\numexpr\maximumcol-1\relax}{%
  \advance\!!dimena-\tbltblcolumndistance}%
it seems to work better...

Cheers, Peter
