Le 27 nov. 2021 =C3=A0 13:25, Denis Maier via = ntg-context <ntg-context@ntg.nl> a =C3=A9crit :

Hi,
 
I=E2=80=99m using tabulate for parallel texts = (source and translation next to each other). The top of each table = should consist of only one cell covering both columns with centered = content. Is that possible?
 
A HTML equivalent will look roughly like = this:
 
<table>
  <tr>
   = <th colspan=3D"2">Manuscript XY </th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    = <td>Some text in Greek or Hebrew or whatever</td>
    = <td>This is the translation</td>
  </tr>
</table>
 
With = ConteXt I=E2=80=99d like to do something like this
 
\starttabulate[|p(1.2cm)|p(1.2cm)|]
  \NC Manuscript XY \NR
  \NC  Some text in Greek or Hebrew or whatever
  \NC  This is the translation \NC = \NR            = ;            &= nbsp;           &nb= sp;        
\stoptabulate
 
This compiles (interestingly?), but the cells = at the top aren=E2=80=99t merged.
 
Any ideas ?
 
I know that natural tables offer more in this = regard, but those seem not to be so well suited for parallel = texts.

I = switched to natural tables a long time ago and that's how I would do = it:

\starttext
\bTABLE[width=3D8cm, = frame=3Doff]
\setupTABLE[c][1][roffset=3D0.5em]
\setupTABLE[c][2][loffset=3D0.5em]
\bTR
\bTD[nc=3D2, align=3Dcenter, = bottomframe=3Don] Manuscript XY \eTD
\eTR\bTR
\bTD
Some text in Greek or Hebrew or = whatever.


The text can comprise multiple = paragraphs.
= Or even lists and other goodies :
\startitemize[intro, = packed]
= \item first item
\item second item
= \stopitemize
\eTD\bTD
This is the translation
\eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
 
I haven't seen drawbacks = with parallel texts (yet) and I found natural tables very = flexible.

Hope it = helps,
