Reset a setup directive

Reset a setup directive

[Saji Njarackalazhikam Hameed]

Hi Folks,

Is there a way to reset a \setupSomeThing[ ] directive?

Consider for instance a complex setup for TABLES. Imagine
I have used this setup for some parts of the document, but
later on I want to have a radically different setup for TABLES, say.

Is there a convenient way to do this as we can do with \reset[counter].

Hi Saji,

there is currently no command to reset the global TABLE setups
but you set them local for every table:

\start
\setupTABLE[...]
\bTABLE
...
\eTABLE
\stop

or you can define setups with often used setup parameters in the preamble
and use call them in your document for the corresponding table.

\startsetups table:noframe
  \setupTABLE[frame=off]
\stopsetups

\startsetups table:colorlines
  \setupTABLE[row][odd][background=screen]
\stopsetups

\startsetups table:normal
  \setupTABLE[background=,frame=on]
\stopsetups

\setupcolors[state=start]

\starttext

\startbuffer
\bTABLE
\dorecurse{10}
  {\bTR
   \bTD Text \eTD\bTD Text \eTD
   \eTR}
\eTABLE
\stopbuffer

\start
\setups{table:noframe}
\getbuffer
\stop

\start
\setups{table:colorlines}
\getbuffer
\stop

\getbuffer

\stoptext

@Hans: Is it possible to integrate a setups key into \bTABLE to write
something like \bTABLE[setups=table:noframe] to avoid the \start/\stop
and \setups{..} commands as I did in my example above.

Hi Wolfgang,

Thanks very much for the detailed response. I have been organizing a
co-ordinated document development project (more in the next mail)
with my colleagues. We use a wiki to input contents, which I then
scrape with hapricot and filter into a context document. Having
a setup like what you suggested eases up the process.

Thanks again,

saji

I second this request. In fact, a setups (or setup?) key will be 
useful for other commands also. Recently, I had to do something 
similar for flowcharts.

I think this concept would help keep the styling (setups) away from  
the structural markup (section, tables etc).  This would be a much  
desirable feature.
