Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\starttext
\startxtable[option=stretch]
\startxrow
\startxcell
One line
And another
\stopxcell
\startxcell
This breaks the following cell.
\stopxcell
\stopxrow
\startxrow
\startxcell
This cell has multiple lines.
Vertical spacing is wrong.
\stopxcell
\startxcell
What am I missing?
\stopxcell
\stopxrow
\stopxtable
\stoptext
I don’t know whether this is a bug. My question is the following: how
can I get a new line inside a cell?
I have another question: how can I force that both rows (in this case
two) have the same width?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Any of the following will work here. Which is or are idiomatic I will
leave for others to say.
This cell has multiple lines.\\
This cell has multiple lines.\par
This cell has multiple lines.\blank[none]

Many thanks for your reply, Rik.
I’m afraid none of them works. Here is my sample:
\starttext
\startxtable[option=stretch]
\startxrow
\startxcell
aaa\blank[none]aaa
\stopxcell
\startxcell
\ConTeXt\ \contextversion
\stopxcell
\stopxrow
\startxrow
\startxcell
This cell has multiple lines.
Vertical spacing is wrong.
\stopxcell
\startxcell
What am I missing?
\stopxcell
\stopxrow
\stopxtable
\stoptext
I’m using latest beta (2014.04.28 23:24) and the issue happens when
there is text before and after the break.

Pablo,
With your example, I get
which shows a problem in row 2. When I add \\ to the first line of text
in row 2 column 1, as shown here
\starttext
\startxtable[option=stretch]
\startxrow
\startxcell
aaa\blank[none]aaa
\stopxcell
\startxcell
\ConTeXt\ \contextversion
\stopxcell
\stopxrow
\startxrow
\startxcell
This cell has multiple lines.\\
Vertical spacing is wrong.
\stopxcell
\startxcell
What am I missing?
\stopxcell
\stopxrow
\stopxtable
\stoptext
I get
which perhaps has some faults in the vertical spacing, but is much
better than the original. The spacing can be improved by specifying
[align=lohi] for that cell.
I get the same result with the other two methods I suggested. Is there a
reason that you cannot use one of these methods in row 2 as you do in row 1?
Perhaps we would all benefit from an obeylines alignment option?

Vertical spacing is wrong.

\stoptext

Many thanks for your reply, Rik.
Now I got what I was doing wrong.

Well, that was a minimal sample. I have a document that has many over 50
tables. If that means that I have to add lines in every row that suffers
from this feature, I think I might be doing something wrong.
There is a more basic problem not shown in the samples: cells can
contain paragraphs with multiple lines (such as "\input zapf"). Is the
user supposed to insert line breaks manually in paragraphs containing
multiple lines?
> Perhaps we would all benefit from an obeylines alignment option?
Sorry, but I cannot refrain from asking: isn’t this a bug?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

more a side effects of trying to find some optimal width automatically
... i've tried to 'fix' it in the next beta but who knows what else
shows up
