very undocumented indeed; i made this module for a project long ago but never 
came to documenting it;

\starttable

\setuplinetable[n=6,lines=40]

\setuplinetable[c][1]   [width=2cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=red]
\setuplinetable[c][4]   [width=3cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow]
\setuplinetable[c][6]   [width=3cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=magenta]
\setuplinetable[r][odd] [background=color,backgroundcolor=gray]
\setuplinetable[r][even][background=color,backgroundcolor=green]

\starttext

\showframe \showstruts

\setupcolors[state=start]

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]\page[left]

\startlinetable
\dorecurse{5}{\NC aaa\crlf aaa \NC bb \NC c \NC ddddd \NC eeee \NC ff} \NC \NR
\dorecurse{100}{\dorecurse{5}{\NC aaa \NC bb \NC c \NC ddddd \NC eeee \NC ff} 
\NC \NR}
\stoplinetable

\stoptext

Thanks, good example indeed ..

Just few questions :

1. What is \starttable for ? I had to take it off to make the example work 
..
2. The first page i get is empty .. Is it normal ?
3. The first page of columns i get is setup with the right columns settings 
(which is red, yellow, magenta for columns 1, 4, 6) and the right row 
settings, but the second page has only the right settings for the rows and 
not for the columns. It is the same for page 3, 4, and 5, etc.

Cheers.
