Columnspan in tabulate

Columnspan in tabulate

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Hi,

is it possible to support columnspan in tabulate.

\def\tabulateuse#1%
  {\dorecurse{\numexpr2*#1-1\relax}{\span}}

\setuptabulate[inner=\let\use\tabulateuse\defineTABLEshorthands]

\starttext

\starttable[|l|l|l|l|]
\NC a \NC b \NC c \NC d \AR
\NC 1 \NC \TWO 2  \NC 4 \AR
\stoptable

\starttabulate[|l|Bl|l|l|]
\NC a \NC b \NC c \NC d \NR
\NC 1 \NC 2 \TWO  \NC 4 \NR
\stoptabulate

\stoptext

Wolfgang

them more something like ...

\def\tabulateuse#1{\dorecurse{\numexpr2*#1-1\relax}{\span\omit}}

\appendtoks
     \let\use\tabulateuse
     \defineTABLEshorthands
\to \everytabulate

\starttext

\starttabulate[|l|Br|l|l|]
\NC a \NC b \NC c \NC d \NR
\NC 1 \NC 2 \TWO  \NC 4 \NR
\stoptabulate

i have no problem with adding such a feature, but you have to write down 
a 'limited use' entry in the wiki then since it will not work with p entries

has to be tested anyway

No problem for me, I need it only in single row entries.

I will do this.

Thanks and regards,

Could we say I never wrote this, I saw yesterday I need p columns in my tables
and the current tabulause command did not work but the following solution did
what I want.

\def\tabulateuse#1%
  {\dorecurse{\numexpr2*#1-1\relax}{\span\omit}\raggedright\ignorespaces}

\appendtoks
    \let\use\tabulateuse
    \defineTABLEshorthands
\to \everytabulate

\starttext

\starttabulate[|p(4cm)|p(4cm)|p(6cm)|]
\NC \dorecurse{10}{text } \NC \dorecurse{8}{text } \NC
\dorecurse{18}{text } \NC\NR
\NC \TWO Short text spanning two tabulate paragraphs. \NC
\dorecurse{22}{text } \NC\NR
\stoptabulate

\stoptext

I have to set the width for each colum but I could now use p columns.

Wolfgang

That's interesting, I always thought it's a "todo queue";)

You obviously don't grasp context development yet ;-)

well, last added == fresh in mem and often at the top of my mail list so 
more visible; there is a queue too but i'll not tell you how small it is 
and what happens when it fills up -)
