What could be the problem? Since a while ^, _ and & can be used in text mode like any other character. You can disable this with \donknuthmode at the begin of your document or use the \aligntab where you would normally use & but the best thing is to use one of contexts build in table environment. Wolfgang Thank you. I think that \halign, being a primitive of tex, should be respected. If a user wants to use it, it should be usable unconditionally.
