I'm having some difficulty getting my head around the tables macros (the
existing package, not the new automatic ones). Is there any English
documentation for this part of ConTeXt, beyond that contained in the
Beginner's Guide?

One specific question concerns the p format key. I find that most of my
tables need to allow for text to flow into paragraphs within the cells, but
I have only succeeded in putting one p format key into a tabulate
environment. More than one p in a specification seems to break something,
and I can't seem to get it to work at all within a table. Is a specification
like [|p|p|p|] supposed to work?

If there is a manual, or a FAQ, that would be great.

Thanks,

Duncan
