Dear list,
The Natural Tables have this great feature that I can control the layout with rowwise, columnwise,
or cellwise setups. For example:
\starttext
\setupTABLE [frame=off]
\setupTABLE [r] [first] [topframe=on,bottomframe=on,style=bold]
\setupTABLE [c] [2] [style=italic]
\setupTABLE [2] [3] [color=red]
\setupTABLE [r] [last] [bottomframe=on]
\startTABLE
\NC A \NC A \NC A \NC\NR
\NC B \NC B \NC B \NC\NR
\NC C \NC C \NC C \NC\NR
\NC D \NC D \NC D \NC\NR
\NC E \NC E \NC E \NC\NR
\stopTABLE
\stoptext
How can I do such a thing with Extreme Tables? If it is not yet possible I'd like to request the
inclusion of such a mechanism.
Cheers, Henri

from the manual, named setups:
\setupxtable[suffix][align=middle,foregroundcolor=red]
\setupxtable[blabla][foregroundstyle=slanted]
\setupxtable[crap] [foregroundcolor=blue]
\setupxtable[bold] [crap][foregroundstyle=bold]
\startxtable % [frame=off]
\startxtablehead
\startxrow[bold]
\startxcell[suffix] head a \stopxcell
\startxcell[blabla] head b \stopxcell
\startxcell head c \stopxcell
\stopxrow
\stopxtablehead
\startxtablebody
\startxrow
\startxcell[suffix][ny=2] cell a 1 \stopxcell
\startxcell cell b 1 \stopxcell
\startxcell cell c 1 \stopxcell
\stopxrow
\startxrow
\startxcell cell b 2 \stopxcell
\startxcell cell c 2 \stopxcell
\stopxrow
\startxrow
\startxcell[suffix] cell a 3 \stopxcell
\startxcell cell b 3 \stopxcell
\startxcell cell c 3 \stopxcell
\stopxrow
\startxrow
\startxcell[suffix] cell a 4 \stopxcell

should be
\startxcell[suffix, ny=2] cell a 1 \stopxcell

No, in ConTeXt one NEVER, EVER mixes key=value lists with simple
keywords (parsing would otherwise be very less efficient).
The feature to be able to declare a "namespace" (such as the
one called "suffix") having particular values of its parameters is
really powerful. Think of it as "xtable:suffix" that inherits from the
namespace "xtable" but then lives a life of its own...
\startxcell takes and optional namespace specification, i.e. [suffix]
and an optional key=value list of parameters, i.e. [ny=2,...]. These
parameters override locally the values that are otherwise carried by
the namespace.
ConTeXt gurus: I hope that I have gotten this explanation right.
