Tabulate and vertical spacing

[mari.voipio]

Hello!

This is a YASQ (Yet Another Stupid Question) that might well have an
answer in the mail archives, but they still don't cooperate (at least I
cannot find any links to a working archive)...

How do I change the vertical line spacing in a tabulation? My default
setting is \setupwhitespace[medium], nothing else. Most of my tabulations
are fine with this, but in one certain set I'd need to bring the lines
vertically closer together - how do I achieve this?

BTW, how does ConTeXt understand lines of a tabulation - are they
altogether one block or is each line equivalent to a block? (Windows
analogy: Word handles the text in each cell as a separate paragraph; but
Word isn't exactly a good typesetter, anyway.)


Thanks for your patience,

Would using "packed" help?  e.g., \starttabulate[4,packed]

Ignore that about "packed".  It's early in the morning --- I got mixed up
with \startitemize :-)
