Hi!

I'd like to follow up on a problem that Denis came across recently with the titles argument in tabulate. (It's more a solution than a question, but any hints to improve the answer are welcome.) I wanted to use this argument for an easy specification of, well, a title for a "recipe". The advantage is that all information is held together and it's easy to use for people who are not (too) familiar with ConTeXt.

So, in one file I can define all styles (which the end-user would not need to see):

\definetabulate[recipe][|l|l|p|l|]

\setuptabulate
	[recipe]
	[
	bodyfont=small,
	distance=medium,
	before={\blank[back, small]},
	header=text,
	headstyle=\bi, % this formats the "\BC" cells
	headcolor=red, % this formats the "\BC" cells
	]


\starttext

And then use:

\startrecipe[title={Whatever mixture 1}]
\FL 
\NC Absolute \BC Stock \NC Ingredient \NC Final \NR 
\HL
\NC 1 \NR
\LL
\stoprecipe

\startrecipe[title={Whatever mixture 2}]
\FL 
\BC Absolute \BC Stock \BC Ingredient \BC Final \NR 
\HL
\NC 1 \NR
\LL
\stoprecipe

\stoptext

etc.

However, I cannot change the way the title is styled (or spaced from the table) unless I do "title={\bi Some text.}". However, blank commands are also stripped off at this place. (I also don't get a clue from the source if there is any argument to spike-in some formatting.) 

So, if there is no easy way to access this one, we can work around:

\definetabulate[recipetab][|l|l|p|l|]

\setuptabulate
	[recipetab]
	[
	bodyfont=small,
	distance=medium,
	before={\blank[back, small]},
	% header=text, % THIS MUST NOT BE "text"
	headstyle=bold,
	headcolor=red,
	]

\define\startrecipe{\dodoubleempty\dostartrecipe}

\long\def\dostartrecipe[#1][#2]#3\stoprecipe{%
	\iffirstargument
		{\bi #1}\blank[medium]
	\fi
	\ifsecondargument
		\startrecipetab[#2]
		#3
		\stoprecipetab
	\else
		\startrecipetab
		#3
		\stoprecipetab
	\fi
}

\startrecipe[Head 1]
\FL
\BC Absolute \BC Stock \BC Ingredient \BC Final \NR 
\HL
\NC 1 \NR
\LL
\stoprecipe

\startrecipe[Head 2][headcolor=blue] % pass on arguments to tabulate
\FL
\BC Absolute \BC Stock \BC Ingredient \BC Final \NR 
\HL
\NC 1 \NR
\LL
\stoprecipe

Small question though: Is there a ConTeXt way to "\long\def" or a simple way ("user interface") to filter a list of arguments for a specific key=val pair, e.g. to make a single optional argument with headertitle={Some header.}?

Best


Benjamin

Hi,

when trying out different options for my last question regarding column spans I've tried out the the option regarding titles for the tabulate environment. Consider this example (adapted from the wiki):

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\setuppapersize[A6]

\starttext
\setuptabulate
   [
    header=text,
                split=yes,
    title={Fenchurch St. Paul},
                ]

\starttabulate[|p|p|]
\dorecurse{6}{
  \NC  Bells:  \NC  Tin tan din dan bim bam bom bo \NC\NR
  \HL
  \NC  Name:  \NC  Tailor Paul \NC \NR
  \HL
}
\stoptabulate

\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

A couple of questions :
- Is it possible to have the title be typeset only once? I.e., it should not repeat on each page.
- How do you change the alignment of the title? (There's an align key, but that does change the alignment of the entries. Not of the title. There are headstyle and headcolor, but nothing about alignment. (\setupalign[middle] in headstyle doesn't do anything.)
- How can you add bit more space after the title?

Best,
Denis
