Hello,

I am trying to do a simple cell background shading in a table using the example 
at the wiki:

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table

Unfortunately, I get an "Undefined control sequence ..." error:

! Undefined control sequence.

system          > tex > error on line 4 in file tmp.tex: Undefined control 
sequence ...

  1     \setupcolors[state=start]
  2     \starttable[|l|l|]
  3     \HL
  4 >>  \BL[1]\SR

Well, not for this particular problem, it happens here, too.
But may I suggest the use of "natural tables" (aka TALBES)? I find them way more comfortable to use and the code is cleaner (to my eyes, at least).
This should get you going:

% Start of file
\setupTABLE[r][first][foregroundstyle={\ss \bf \color[white]},background=color,backgroundcolor=blue,framecolor=blue]
\setupTABLE[column][each][leftframe=off,rightframe=off]
\setupTABLE[column][1][align=right]
\setupTABLE[column][2][alignmentcharacter={.},aligncharacter=yes,align=middle,style={\color[red]}]
\chardef\characteralignmentmode=2
\starttext
\startplacetable[title=test]
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTH Category \eTH \bTH Data entry \eTH \eTR
\bTR \bTD First \eTD \bTD 35.12 \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD[background=color,backgroundcolor=red] Second \eTD \bTD 5.014 \eTD \eTR
\bTR[background=color,backgroundcolor=gray]
	\bTD Total \eTD \bTD 110 \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\stopplacetable
\stoptext
% End of file

I think the using \start- \stoptable is not recommended (MkIV) any more. Instead you can use

\starttabulate[|l|l|]
\CM[yellow] Command  \NC        Meaning         \NC\NR\FL
\NC         \tex{NC} \NC        next column     \NC\NR
\NC         \tex{NR} \CM[green] next row        \NC\NR
\NC         \tex{HL} \CM[blue]  horizontal line \NC\NR\FL
\stoptabulate

Or as already suggested the \bTABLE … \eTABLE or the new xtable-environment.


Greeting
	Andreas

I consider the table environment to be useful for short tables where I don’t want
any setups to adjust the vertical spacing which is easy here with \AR etc. but
for complicated layouts and tables with lots of texts tabulate and TABLE are
better suited.

> Or as already suggested the \bTABLE … \eTABLE or the new xtable-environment.

For short tables with a complex layout you can use \startTABLE.

\NC \tex{NC} \NC next column \NC\FR
\NC \tex{NR} \NC next row \NC \LR
\HL[green]
\NC \tex{AR} \NC automatic row \NC \SR
\HL
\stoptable

\starttabulate[|l|l|l|]
\HL[red]
\NC Command \NC Meaning \NC Whatever \NC\SR
\HL[blue,10]
\NC \tex{CC} \CC[blue] next column \NC last column \NC \NR
\NC \tex{CM} \CM[blue] next column \NC last column \NC \NR
\NC \tex{CL} \CL[blue] next column \NC last column \NC \NR
