Hi,
I'm 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="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'd 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
\stoptabulate
This compiles (interestingly?), but the cells at the top aren't 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.
Denis

I don’t remember why I didn’t use natural tables when I’ve started setting things up for this journal. I think I’d might have had something to do with tables that break across pages. (At least, this is whathttps://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tables_Overview <https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tables_Overview> currently says: extremetables are said to be better when page breaking is involved.) > Have you ever noticed problems in that area? > > Best, > Denis > > Von: Jean-Philippe Rey <jean-philippe.rey@centralesupelec.fr> > Gesendet: Samstag, 27.

However, if I am right, each row must be contained on a single page. That may be an issue depending on your use cases. Best, Well, I guess that must have been the reason why I chose tabulate.
