It gives you all kind of control over layout, dimensions, frames on and off etc. I agree natural tables or extreme tables are the better choice for this table layout but it can be improved. 1. Keep the layout/settings local. To ensure the \setupTABLE settings don't affect other tables you can either put \start and \stop at the begin and end of the table, e.g. \start \setupTABLE[...] \bTABLE ... \eTABLE \stop or put the settings in a setup-environment and load them on a pertable basis, e.g. \startsetups[fancytable] \setupTABLE[...] \stopsetups \bTABLE[setups=fancytable] ... \eTABLE 2. Font changes are local to cells When you apply a font switch to the whole content of a table cell there is no need to put braces around the text, e.g. \bTD \bf ... \eTD can be used without problem. When you make this change for a table header and the result is bold text there is a even simpler method because a special cell type exists here, e.g. \bTH ... \eTH creates bold text. 3. Simple markup For natural tables with short texts in each cell there exists a simple mode which uses \starttable inspired markup with the short \NC and \NR commands to mark the start of each cell and row. The example table of the OP can be written like below. \starttext \startsetups [tableframe] \setupTABLE [c] [1] [leftframe=off,width=40mm] \setupTABLE [c] [2] [rightframe=off, width=60mm] \setupTABLE [c] [each] [align={lohi,center}] \stopsetups \startTABLE[setups=tableframe] \NC \bf Eons \NC \bf Eras \NC\NR \NC Hadeon Eon \NC \NC\NR \NC[ny=4] Archanon Eon \NC Eoarchean Era \NC\NR \NC Paleoarchean Era \NC\NR \NC Mesoarchean Era \NC\NR \NC Neoarchean Era \NC\NR \NC[ny=3] Proterozoic Eon \NC Paleoproterozoic Era \NC\NR \NC Mesoproterozoic Era \NC\NR \NC Neoproterozoic Era \NC\NR \NC[ny=3] Phanerozoic Eon \NC Paleozoic Era \NC\NR \NC Mesozoic Era \NC\NR \NC Cenozoic Era \NC\NR \stopTABLE \stoptext Wolfgang ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

How can I get the cell with the text "Archaeon Eon" to be a little lower, so it is centered within its box? I would also recommend natural tables. But, for tables, you can use \Lower(dims){....} to improve vertical alignment. For example: \starttext \starttable[|c|c|] \NC {\bf Eons} \NC {\bf Eras} \NC \AR \HL \NC Hadeon Eon \VL \NC \AR \HL \NC \VL Eoarchean Era \NC \AR \DC \DL[1] \DR \NC \Lower(1\lineheight){Archaeon Eon} \VL Paleoarchean Era \NC \AR \DC \DL[1] \DR \NC \VL Mesoarchean Era \NC \AR \DC \DL[1] \DR \NC \VL Neoarchean Era \NC \AR \HL\NC \VL Paleoproterozoic Era \NC \AR \DC \DL[1] \DR \NC Proterozoic Eon \VL Mesoproterozoic Era \NC \AR \DC \DL[1] \DR \NC \VL Neoproterozoic Era \NC \AR \HL \HL\NC \VL Paleozoic Era \NC \AR \DC \DL[1] \DR \NC Phanerozoic Eon \VL Mesozoic Era \NC \AR \DC \DL[1] \DR \NC \VL Cenozoic Era \NC \AR \HL \stoptable \stoptext Aditya ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
