Hi Mari, can you make a minimum example of your problem. One way to make your table smaller is to use another bodyfontsize. \setupTABLE[bodyfont=small] will help u.

I don't know if we're talking about the same problem, but what I hate about natural tables as well (although I use them all the time) is very bad spacing: horizontal offset is too narrow and vertical offset is too big (well, it also depends on content, but in general "\starttable/tabulate" looks much better regarding spacing). If I want smaller table I usually do \startbuffer[name] ... table ... \stopbuffer \externalfigure[\jobname-name.tmp][scale=...] but that is not *the* solution. Tables still look "bad" that way. The main problem is that there is no special parameter for "horizonal offset" and "vertical offset" for \framed, otherwise the user could modify that at least to some extent. I have no idea how "usual tables" create "nice spacing". Mojca ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
