Sorry for "polluting" the mailing list with my question - I just
discovered an "offset" property in the mail list archive that seems

The TABLE package in Context is really powerful - it would be very nice
to have an updated documentation for it, summarising all available
options.
Best regards,
Tommy Jensen
