Re: Booktabs equivalent in Context

["Hamid Kamrani" <hamid.kamrani@gmail.com>]

Aditya,

In the example you give with CMID you have only two column preambles
whereas the table has 3 columns and if one adds the missing preamble
then one gets an error. Some how your new code breaks the calculation
for number of columns.
