Tables and misplaced \noalign

Tables and misplaced \noalign

[Jürgen Strass]

Hi,

when I'm trying to use tables (\starttables ... \stoptables), I'm often 
getting the following error:

---

! Misplaced \noalign.
\TABLEnoalign ->\noalign
                         \bgroup \let \noalign \relax \let \next =
\insertTABLEtail ->\TABLEnoalign
                                 {\global \settrue \preventTABLEbreak 
\globa...

\stoptables ...erepeattail \else \insertTABLEtail
                                                  \fi \finishTABLE 
\egroup \...
l.148 \stoptables

---

On the mailing list archives, I already found some code posted by Hans 
Hagen that solves the issue in case of the "\starttable ... \stoptable" 
command. I had to insert the following code in my cont-new.tex file:

\def\stoptable
  {\chuckTABLEautorow % before the tail
   \insertTABLEtail
   \TABLEnoalign{\globalletempty\@@TABLEhead}%
   \TABLEnoalign{\globalletempty\@@TABLEtail}%
   \finishTABLE
   \doifelsenothing\@@tiframe
     {\ifinsidefloat\else
        \stopbaselinecorrection
        \goodbreak % compensates all the nobreaks
      \fi}
     \stopframedcontent
   \egroup}

For the "tables" commands it doesn't work though, even not after 
changing "\def\stoptable" to "\def\stoptables". Does anyone have an idea 
what to do about it?

ctxtools gives the following details about my context version under WinXP:

CtxTools | context version: 2007.01.12 15:56 
(c:/TeXLive2007/texmf-dist/tex/cont
ext/base/context.tex)
CtxTools | context version: 2007.01.12 15:56 
(c:/TeXLive2007/texmf-dist/tex/cont
ext/base/cont-new.tex)

Thanks in advance for any help,
Jürgen

Hi Jürgen,

could you try to update your ConTeXt first and if the problem
remains send a example to the list.

Wolfgang

Problem solved! I updated by calling "ctxtools --updatecontext" and now 
everything works out of the box. If I had known that context is so easy 
to update, I would have already done so. I expected that I had to run 
through lots of steps of manual changes.

Thank you very much,
Jürgen
