Hello ConTeXist,

I want my macro to act differently inside \bTABLE ... \eTABLE 
environment and otherwise outside of that environment.
Is there any sign (flag) which can determine whether my macro run inside 
or outside the \bTABLE .. \eTABLE environment?
Or do I have two similar versions of my macros (one for the table 
environment and the other for normal environment)

Explanation: To my macro work, I must have already expanded values 
inside table environment...

Thanx

Jaroslav Hajtmar

\ifintable but this is not available for tabulate, another alternative is to use \iftrialtypesetting

In this case you have to expand the whole table before it’s processed, e.g.

\bTABLE
  \bTR
    \expanded{\bTD ... \eTD}
  \eTR
\eTABLE

Thanx Wolfgang!
It  works fine now ... it is great...
I don't found (by google) any more information about \ifintable or 
\iftrialtypesetting flags.
Can I find anywhere more information about them?


I have now still one similar question. Is there any flag which indicate 
whether to use \expanded macro? I want to checked using the \expanded{} 
macro as input parameter of my own macros.

for example:


\def\tbline{\expanded{\bTR\bTD \myfirstcolumn \eTD\eTR}}
\mytablerow{\tbline}

\def\mytablerow#1{ ... I want testing here, if #1 contain \expanded{} 
macro ... }


Thanx
Jaroslav

They’re defined with \newif\iftable and \newif\iftrialtypesetting. You can use them like

\ifintable
  Yes, I’m in a table.
\else
  No, I’m not in a table.
\fi

\def\mytablerow#1%
  {\doifinstringelse{expanded}{\detokenize{#1}}
     {YES}
     {NO}}

Are you sure you need such complicated tests, wouldn’t it be better to write
a robust macro which works whether one of these conditions is true or false.

Thanx for quick response,
my notices are in body of this mail ...

Yes I was understand ... I was more a matter of where and how to use 
these flags, etc ...
For example I do not know where to set (in which the environment) 
\iftrialtypesetting flag to true value etc... No more information I get 
when I googling...

Great .. Main reason of my questions is just, that I am creating  own 
module, which has contain robust macros, which should be solving both 
cases  ...

Once again thank you very much

The \iftrialtypesetting and \iftable values are set by context, you can use them to test whether you’re in a table or if context does currently performs trialtypesetting (happens in natural table to get the maximum values for the rowheight and columnwidth)

> Great .. Main reason of my questions is just, that I am creating  own module, which has contain robust macros, which should be solving both cases  ...

For these cases \iftriatypesetting can be usefull but testing for \expanded isn’t necessary with a well written macro.
