\ifcase changes default align in xtables

\ifcase changes default align in xtables

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

    \setupxtable[mytable]
        [option={stretch, height},
         align={\ifcase\currentxtablerow\fi}]
    \starttext
    \startxtable[mytable]
        \startxrow
            \startxcell 1 \stopxcell
            \startxcell 2 \stopxcell
        \stopxrow
        \startxrow
            \startxcell 3 \stopxcell
            \startxcell 4 \stopxcell
        \stopxrow
    \stopxtable
    \startxtable[option={stretch, height}]
        \startxrow
            \startxcell 1 \stopxcell
            \startxcell 2 \stopxcell
        \stopxrow
        \startxrow
            \startxcell 3 \stopxcell
            \startxcell 4 \stopxcell
        \stopxrow
    \stopxtable
    \stoptext

For some strange reason, when using \ifcase in align, default is changed
from {high, left} to {lohi, center}. Shouldn’t defaults be the same?

BTW, if I set align to {\ifodd\currentxtablerow\fi}. I wonder whether
this might be a bug.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

Wolfgang,

I understand now that I wasn’t assigning values in the conditional.

And this was the same reason why {\ifodd\currentxtablerow\fi} broke the
xtable complation.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
