This is probably an easy one, but I couldn't figure it out: I want to
set up a tabulation with a whitespace of 0.5 lines between rows. But no
matter where I put my \blank, the tabulation always appears as packed.
Thanks for your help! (Is there any more elaborate docu on tabulate
than the three pages in the manual and the few lines in core-tbl.tex?)

\starttabulate

\NC test \NC test \NC \NR
\stoptabulate

Hans,
thanks for your reply. I works with your minimal example, but not with
my file. When I try this
\setuptabulate[|w(.3\textwidth)|p|]
\starttabulate
\NC arrghl \NC barrghl \NC \NR \TB
\stoptabulate
I get this error:
check : missing or ungrouped '=' after '|w(.3\tekstbreedte
)|p|' in li
ne 53 (@@tttabulate::)
Runaway argument?
! Paragraph ended before \complexorsimpleTable was complete.
<to be read again>
\par
\tabulatecontent ...nn, barrghl \NC \NR \TB \par
\processtabulate
...sa \crcr \fulltabulatecontent
\crcr }}\ifnum
\nofautotab...
l.72 \stoptabulate
?
Any idea what this could mean?

this setup command expects key/value pairs, and since the = is missing, tex
sees a \textwidth (being a dimension register) and therefore expects some
assignment

Hi Thomas,
> set up a tabulation with a whitespace of 0.5 lines between rows. But no
Once upon a time I made a note in the article by Hans Hagen published in the
MAPS 22, 1999. The article deals with all kind of possibilities of the
\starttabulate \stoptabulate environment.
The note is: \TB[medium]
This command inserts blank between tabulate rows.
The \setuptabulate[] command has an option inner=command. Inner is executed
before the first column is typset. - May be this is also an option for your
problem.
Willi

Willi,
thanks, you made me discover MAPS, which I had not known before! Seems
to be a lot of interesting stuff in there, and thank god I was born in
Aachen, so Dutch isn't too difficult for me... But alas, the module
must have changed since 1999--not even the minimal examples from the
article you mentioned work. \setuptabulate[inner={\blank[big]}] gives a
blank line before my first row, but not between rows. Mmmh - maybe a
bug in core-tbl.tex? Probably Hans is the only one to know...
Best
Thomas

Indeed, the MAPS is always a pleasure to read.

I was born in France, but french is definitely giving me a hard time
when reading.

This does not contradict the article in the MAPS 22.
Do you have your problems solved?

I feel like a complete fool now. I had given up, assuming it couldn't
be done. When your post arrived, I had a last look at my file to copy
the error message into this mail--and now it works! I guess what I did
wrong was to REPLACE the \NR with \TB instead of ADDING it. So for
whoever might find it useful: this works:
\starttabulate[|w=0.3\textwidth|p|]
\NC arrggl \NC barrgl \NC \NR \TB[big]
\NC barrgl \NC arrgl \NC \NR \TB[big]
\stoptabulate
Little by little, I'm learning how to use this wonderful tool.
