Added section-10 for settings and multiple TABLEs in a single page
Note that every element must use <tt>\b</tt> ... <tt>\e</tt>.

= Settings for multiple TABLEs in a single page =
Please note that if you have multiple TABLEs in a single page, use the \start & \stop commands to ensure the locality of the attributes of each table. Else settings from one TABLE might have strange effects on the settings of another.
When you need a certain setup for multiple tables you can put all \setupTABLE commands in a setups-environment and load these settings at the start of the table, e.g.
<texcode>
\startsetups [tablesettings]
\setupTABLE [r] [1] [..,..=..,..]
\setupTABLE [c] [2] [..,..=..,..]
\stopsetups
\bTABLE[setups=tablesettings]
...
\eTABLE
</texcode>
When you need individual settings for each table add \start before the setup-commands and \stop after the table, this keeps all setups local to the current table, e.g.
<texcode>
\start
\setupTABLE [r] [1] [..,..=..,..]
\setupTABLE [c] [2] [..,..=..,..]
\bTABLE
...
\eTABLE
\stop
</texcode>
