TABLE in item

TABLE in item

[Duncan Hothersall]

Very simple question which has suddenly stumped me:

\starttext
\startitemize[n,broad]
\item Hello world!
\bTABLE\bTR\bTD Little\eTD \bTD table\eTD\eTR\eTABLE
First item continues.
\item Second item.
\stopitemize
\stoptext

How to get the TABLE inside the first item to align with the item
content, rather than flush left?

Thanks,

Duncan

\installframedlocator {table}
  {}
  {\hbox{\lower\dimexpr\dp\strutbox+.25ex+.4pt\relax\box\framebox}}

\defineframed
  [inlinetable]
  [location=table,
   offset=overlay,
   frame=off]

\startitemize[n,broad]
\item Hello world!
\inlinetable{\bTABLE\bTR\bTD \strut Little\eTD \bTD \strut table\eTD\eTR\eTABLE}
First item continues.
\item Second item.
\stopitemize
\stoptext

What I *meant* (sorry!) was

\starttext
\startitemize[n,broad]
\item Hello world!
\bTABLE[split=yes]\bTR\bTD Little\eTD \bTD table\eTD\eTR\eTABLE
First item continues.
\item Second item.
\stopitemize
\stoptext

I know that in the first example I can put \dontleavehmode before the
table and things work okay.

In the second example (with split=yes) this doesn't work. Is there a way
of making things line up when split=yes? (I'm typesetting an accounting
book...).

Thanks again,

Duncan

\let\beforeTABLEsplitbox\relax
\let\afterTABLEsplitbox \relax
\let\beforeTABLEbox     \relax
\let\afterTABLEbox      \relax

you can play with these macros since they are the formal hooks

Hans,

I played with

\let\beforeTABLEsplitbox\dontleavehmode
\def\afterTABLEsplitbox{\relax\dontleavehmode}
\let\beforeTABLEbox\dontleavehmode
\let\afterTABLEbox\relax

which gives the right indents but stops the tables splitting.

I think I will just have to live with non-splitting tables for now,
unless you can suggest a better redefinition?

Thanks very much for the help anyway.

Duncan
