Table width trouble

Table width trouble

[nico]

Hello,

I come back with that damn table test case. With release 2006.04.22:

- it works fine when the column width is passed as table option,
- it's wrong when the width is passed via a column setup only,
- it works ok when both table and column option are passed, and it's the  
column option that is used (which is the expected behaviour).
- it's ok when no width specified at all.

\starttext

\startbuffer
\bTR \bTD[nc=2] A \eTD\bTD x \eTD \bTD[nc=2] B \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD X \eTD \bTD[nc=3] C \eTD \bTD x \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD[nc=2] D \eTD \bTD x \eTD \bTD[nc=2] E \eTD \eTR
\stopbuffer

% ok
\bTABLE[frame=on,width=3em]
\getbuffer
\eTABLE

% nok, messy table
\bTABLE[frame=on]
\setupTABLE[c][each][width=3em]
\getbuffer
\eTABLE

% ok, width=3em for each column
\bTABLE[frame=on,width=0.1pt]
\setupTABLE[c][each][width=3em]
\getbuffer
\eTABLE

% ok
\bTABLE[frame=on]
\getbuffer
\eTABLE

\stoptext

Thanks, it does it. Another torture case: when column widths are partially  
defined, it can give a weird result (here the last column has almost  
disppeared). Since it's a limit case, I don't know if it's worth being  
fixed.

\bTABLE[frame=on]
\setupTABLE[c][2][width=3em]
\setupTABLE[c][3][width=3em]
\bTR \bTD[nc=2] A \eTD\bTD x \eTD \bTD[nc=2] B \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD X \eTD \bTD[nc=3] C \eTD \bTD x \eTD \eTR
\bTR \bTD[nc=2] D \eTD \bTD x \eTD \bTD[nc=2] E \eTD \eTR
\eTABLE

indeed a strange case 

the best is to collect them so that i can look into them some rainy day 

(btw, if users have interesting example tables that demo something not in ennatab, then we can add them there)

I haven't ready-to-add tables, but maybe the following topics could be  
added (unless you want to let them to wiki):
- use of \bTABLEhead..\eTABLEhead \bTABLEbody..\eTABLEbody and  
split=repeat,
- use of the options distance, leftmargindistance, etc,
- use of negative column/row values (not in the wiki).
