Ahoi!
I just reviewed my german ConTeXt tutorial and tried to tell the truth
about all the table modes. Please correct me if I'm wrong:
* tabulate
- can break over several pages
- [start|stop]tabulate[head|tail] should define a repeated head/tail,
but it doesn't work
- documented in the manual (cont-en[i|p])
* table
- cannot break
- based on Wichura's TaBlE (others not)
- can be used as float (others not?)
- documentation commercial at pctex.com (39 $),
partly docs in "ConTeXt - an excursion" (m[s|p]-cb-en)
* tables
- same as table, but can break over several pages
- [start|stop]table[head|tail] works
- nowhere documented?
* TABLE
- didn't try page breaks yet; should it work?
- [b|e]TABLE works; should [start|stop]TABLE also?
- docs: up-to-date 8 (no link on HP!), enattab
* new table mode?
I remember Hans wrote about a new enhanced table
mode, but can't find the mail.

works here
\starttext
\starttabulatehead
\NC left \NC right \NC \NR
\stoptabulatehead
\starttabulate[|l|r|]
\NC l \NC r \NC \NR
\stoptabulate
\stoptext
>- documented in the manual (cont-en[i|p])
- handles (multiple) paragraphs with the "p" template entry
- works well with grids
- supports text backgrounds

all can be used as floats

in my still to be included chapter if the manual it is -)
>* TABLE
>- didn't try page breaks yet; should it work?
yes, if split is set to yes
>- [b|e]TABLE works; should [start|stop]TABLE also?
no, at least not yet; has to do with grabbing

core-ltb: line tables, auto break vertically and horizontally across pages,
repeated rows / columns, etc
will be documented

Hans,
This does not work for me either
\starttabulatehead
\NC left \NC right \NC \NR
\stoptabulatehead
It gives the following error
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) (format=cont-en
2003.4.28) 14 JUN 2003 19:16

If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.
TIA

is this a matter of stach size or do others have the same problem?
Hans (who is not sure if he patched this after 2003.4.28)

I got the same (or something similar), and I run the latest beta,
that's why I wrote it wouldn't work.

Hello,
I am looking for documentation for tables.
Is the table-chapter already published somewhere?
Cheers, Peter
