Bug in Natural Tables

Bug in Natural Tables

[Henri Menke]

Dear list,

I wanted to show off the wonders of Natural Tables in TeX.SX but the table I wanted to make escapes out of the page.  Why does the width explode so much?  MWE is below.

Cheers, Henri

Because that's not a natural table. You're confusing the old TABLE 
environment (\startTABLE) with natural tables (\bTABLE; \NC[nx=3] should 
be \bTD[nx=e]). And it's inconsistent. If you want six columns, you have 
to tell ConTeXt what it should do in rows 3 and 4, where you  define 
only one column.

No, this is Natural Tables.  The macros I am using are defined in tabl-nte.mkiv and the header there states

%D This module provides an easy way to use natural in a similiar
%D way as the older table module (based on the \TABLE\ macros) and
%D the newer tabulate module.

Nevertheless, as you requested, here the same bug with the traditional Natural Table macros:

You're right, I was too fast with my response.

I didn't request anything, but there seems to be a real bug. Here's my code:

\setuppapersize [A4,landscape]

\setupTABLE [row] [each] [align={lohi,middle}]
\setupTABLE [column] [1] [width=5cm]
\setupTABLE [column] [2] [width=2cm]
\setupTABLE [column] [3] [width=2cm]
\setupTABLE [column] [4] [width=2cm]
\setupTABLE [column] [5] [width=2cm]
\setupTABLE [column] [6] [width=2cm]
\setupTABLE [column] [7] [width=2cm]

\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \bTD 5 \eTD \bTD 6

\stoptext

If I comment out the first table row, the table is out of whack. Same if 
I do not define the width of columns explicitly. So something is not 
quite right here.

Fixing this will break something else (which is why i don't want to 
touch the code)

What works is adding a first row:

\bTR[height=0pt,offset=overlay,frame=off] \dorecurse{7}{\bTD\eTD} \eTR

makes me wonder if that should be an option but it needs testing.
