Newlines in a table cel

Newlines in a table cel

[Cecil Westerhof]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 574 bytes --]

I have a macro to display MVC (model-view-controller) info:
    \define[3]\MVC{
      \starttabulate[|l|l|]
      \NC \Important[Model]:      \NC #1 \NC\NR
      \NC \Important[View]:       \NC #2 \NC\NR
      \NC \Important[Controller]: \NC #3 \NC\NR
      \stoptabulate
      \myblank
    }

Sometimes the info is very long. Now it is displayed in one long line that
scrolls off the screen. How can I change this. Ideally would be if I could
give in the macro call where a new line should start, but just automatically
formatted would be good enough.

Sorry Hans. I send it to you instead of to the list. And I forgot the files.
Now corrected.

Thanks. Much better. I did not find this. Did I not look good enough?

Attached a tex and a pdf file. It shows the original and your solution, but
also the preferred solution. (But hard coded, not with a macro.) Would it be
possible to get the preferred solution in a macro?

Tell ConTeXt where is should break the line with “\\”.

\MVCa{usedmodel}{firstViewFromSeveral\\ secondViewFromSeveral\\ thirthViewFromSeveral\\ fourthViewFromSeveral}{usedController}

Thanks. In the dummy.tex it works. In my own document it does not. Looks
like I changed something in my environment. Have to find out what.

It is not in my environment. The use of \completecontent wreck havoc on
this. See the attachments.

This is *not* a minimal working example, neither it’s minimal nor it’s working.

You can fix this by replacing the \\ with \crlf to add a linebreak in the entries:

\define[3]\MVC
  {\starttabulate[|l|lp|]
   \NC Model:      \NC #1 \NC\NR
   \NC View:       \NC #2 \NC\NR
   \NC Controller: \NC #3 \NC\NR
   \stoptabulate}

\starttext

\MVC{usedmodel}{firstViewFromSeveral\crlf secondViewFromSeveral\crlf thirthViewFromSeveral\crlf fourthViewFromSeveral}{usedController}

\completecontent

\MVC{usedmodel}{firstViewFromSeveral\crlf secondViewFromSeveral\crlf thirthViewFromSeveral\crlf fourthViewFromSeveral}{usedController}

\stoptext

What do you mean by this? I had a problem, thus sure it is not working.

Works like a charm: thanks.

Is it not strange that the behavior is different before and after a
\content?

1. You example is not minimal because you have a lot of unnecessary commands in it.

2. Your example does not work because you use commands which aren’t defined in the file.

No because i had been wrong and \\ isn’t a valid command to end the line
in tabulate, it’s used to write tabulate in a different form, e.g. look
at \startlegend in the manual or at the following example:

\starttext

\definetabulate[test][|l|p|]
\setuptabulate [test][inner=\setquicktabulate\test]

\starttest
\test 1 \\ 2 \\
\test 3 \\ 4 \\
\stoptest

\stoptext
