ConTeXt has a whole bunch of possibilities to typeset tables. Not each provides everything you may need, and the older ones are deprecated.
- tabulate (tabulation)
- table (TaBlE)
- tables (multipage TaBlE)
- TABLE (natural tables, HTML tables)
- linetable (new multipage tables)
Features
Feature | tabulate | table | tables | TABLE | linetable |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
horizonal lines | \HL | \HL | \HL | \setupTABLE [topframe=on] or \setupTABLE [bottomframe=on] |
unknown |
vertical lines | no | \VL | \VL | \setupTABLE [leftframe=on] or \setupTABLE [rightframe=on] |
unknown |
multipage | yes | no | yes | yes, with split=yes or split=repeat | yes, even horizontally |
repeated header | \setuptabulate[header=repeat] \starttabulatehead ... \stoptabulatehead |
no | \starttablehead | \bTABLE [split=repeat] \bTABLEhead ... \eTABLEhead |
yes |
repeated footer | \setuptabulate[footer=repeat] \starttabulatetail ... \stoptabulatetail |
no | \starttabletail | no | yes |
automatic fitting to given table width | no | \SetTableToWidth | \SetTableToWidth |
\setupTABLE [option=stretch, textwidth=10cm] |
unknown |
problems | very limited | limited | \starttext \starttablehead \HL \stoptablehead \starttables[|l|l|] \dorecurse{50}{% \VL SomeText \VL SomeText \VL \AR} \stoptables Problem: top margin on first page is bigger. \stoptext |
there may be problems in width and height calculation and perhaps the multipage features | still experimental, nearly no documentation |
