Hello,
thanks for explanation.
I also wrote a sample code which should typeset a midaligned table via Lua using "tabulate".
But I'm not able to achieve the goal - what am I doing wrong?
----
\starttext
T
\startluacode
local f = function()
context.starttabulate{"|rw(2cm)|rw(2cm)|"}
context.NC()
context("A")
context.NC()
context("B")
context.NC()
context.NR()
context.stoptabulate()
end
f()
context("U\\par")
context.startalignment{"middle"}
context("V") -- OK, "V" is successfully midaligned
context.stopalignment()
context.startalignment{"middle"}
f() -- Wrong, table is not midaligned
context.stopalignment()
context.startalignment{"middle"}
context.dontleavehmode()
f() -- Wrong, too, table is still not midaligned (?!)
context.stopalignment()
-- context.midaligned(f) -- This breaks Ctx!
\stopluacode
\stoptext
----
Best regards,
Lukas
