applying properties to columns / rows in xtables

applying properties to columns / rows in xtables

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

having this basic xtable (adapted from xtables-mkiv.pdf):

    \starttext
    \startxtable[option=stretch]
        \startxrow
            \startxcell one \stopxcell
            \startxcell two \stopxcell
        \stopxrow
        \startxrow
            \startxcell alpha \stopxcell
            \startxcell beta \stopxcell
        \stopxrow
    \stopxtable
    \stoptext

Is there any way to apply properties to the first column and the second
column without having to add an identifier to each xcell?

In this sample, it would be easy. In a longer xtable, I would like to
avoid it :-).

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Sorry, Wolfgang. You’re right, I forgot to tell-

I want to avoid tagging each cell to get this:

    \starttext
    \startxtable[option=stretch]
        \startxrow
            \startxcell[align=left] one \stopxcell
            \startxcell[align=center] two \stopxcell
        \stopxrow
        \startxrow
            \startxcell[align=left] alpha \stopxcell
            \startxcell[align=center] beta \stopxcell
        \stopxrow
    \stopxtable
    \stoptext

I don’t know whether there is something similar to:

   \setupxtable[column:first][align=left]

Having to add an identifier to the xcell is something that I would like
to avoid too.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Many thanks for your fast reply, Wolfgang.

This is exactly what I need. I wouldn’t have found out myself in centuries.

Many thanks for your help,
