Subject: Re: Construct tables column after column

Hi,
This is a funny bit of synchronicity. I made exactly the same request
for extreme tables (\startxtable) during the ConTeXt meeting. Would
xtables work for you as well? It would be easier for Hans to set it up
in that because a) bTABLE is ‘like html’ which would not allow a swap
like that and b) xtable has explicits command for rows and cells, but
not columns, so that could be added without any extra effort and confusion.
Best wishes,
Taco
