Using the width of the page with start/stop tabulate

Using the width of the page with start/stop tabulate

[Cecil Westerhof]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 607 bytes --]

I am using the following code:
\starttabulate[|l|l|]
\HL
\NC {\bf Primair} \NC {\bf Secundair}      \NC\NR
\HL
\NC C en C++      \NC Java                 \NC\NR
\NC Python        \NC Perl                 \NC\NR
\NC shell-script  \NC Lisp                 \NC\NR
\NC SQL           \NC HTML-4 en JavaScript \NC\NR
\NC               \NC PHP                  \NC\NR
\NC               \NC Pascal               \NC\NR
\HL
\stoptabulate

But this uses only the necessary space. I would like to have the table using
the width of the page and both columns having the same size.
Is this possible?

I found it. I should start the table with:
\starttabulate[|lw(.5\textwidth)|lw(.5\textwidth)|]

Though older, there is an article in MAPS22 (see ntg-website) explaining what tabulate can do.

\starttabulate[|p|p|]

That is in this case a better solution. For one in my solution the table
became to wide. (Do not know why.)

The combined width of the columns in your table had been \textwidth but there is also a space between the columns which makes the table wider than the normal text.

Is it know how much spave this is? For another table I now use:
  \starttable[|w(.10\textwidth)|p(.82\textwidth)|]

This looks about right, but if there is a better way to do it …

Set only a width for the first column, the width of the “p” column
is calculated by ConTeXt.

That does not work. The p column will become as long as the first column:
\starttext

\starttable[|w(.10\textwidth)|p(.82\textwidth)|]
\HL
\NC Field one \NC A quit long field to show what goes wrong \NC\AR
\HL
\stoptable

\starttable[|w(.10\textwidth)|p|]
\HL
\NC Field one \NC A quit long field to show what goes wrong \NC\AR
\HL
\stoptable

\stoptext

I hadn’t noticed you switched from tabulate to table in your example.

Look into the wiki, maybe you find some info or use natural tables
which don’t use a space between columns.

\stoptabulate can not be handled by macros. So I had to switch.

I came up with the following:
\setupbodyfont[10pt]

\define[1]\ActivityWorkTable{
    \bTR \RowWorkTable{}{\bullet\space #1} \eTR
}

\define[2]\RowWorkTable{
  \bTD #1 \eTD \bTD #2 \eTD
}

\define[2]\StartWorkTable{
  \blank[2*big]
  \setupTABLE[frame=off]
  \setupTABLE[c][1][width=.14\textwidth]
  \setupTABLE[c][2][width=.87\textwidth]
  \bTABLE
    \bTR[topframe=on, bottomframe=on] \RowWorkTable{#1}{#2} \eTR
    \bTR \RowWorkTable{}{\bf Gedaan} \eTR
}

\define[1]\StopWorkTable{
    \bTR[topframe=on]\RowWorkTable{}{\bf Gebruikt} \eTR
    \bTR[bottomframe=on]\RowWorkTable{}{\bullet\space #1} \eTR
  \eTABLE
}

\starttext

\StartWorkTable{Huidig}{Senior software engineer bij Artex}
\ActivityWorkTable{Teamleader voor een groep van 5 PHP-programmeurs die

}
\ActivityWorkTable{Quality Management}

\ActivityWorkTable{Installeren subversion server en definiëren werkwijze}

\StartWorkTable{2008 - 2009}{Senior software engineer bij het Kadaster}
\ActivityWorkTable{Bij het Kadaster was men bezig met de migratie van

  shell-scripts.
}
\StopWorkTable{Linux, Windows, OpenVMS, C en C\high{++},
  shell-scripting, Emacs, Lisp, Fortran
}

\stoptext

Work reasonable good. And it is now very easy to change the tables.

I only have two problems:

   - I like the alignment to be filled. (The default in normal text not in a
   table.) How can I do this?
   - I use bullets before my points. But when a line is to long it and it
   wraps around, the next line starts at the same place as the bullet. I would
   like it to be indented in the same way as with \startitemize (or this
   point). How would I do this?
