→Headers with TABLEs
Note that every element must use <tt>\b</tt> ... <tt>\e</tt>.

= Multipage TABLEs =
Note that the table is split after the yyy row.
== Headers with TABLEs ==
When one has a multi-page TABLE in the document (using either the <tt>split=repeat</tt> or <tt>split=yes</tt> options), and the header text is also organized as a TABLE, the table header ends up getting crammed into the document header resulting in incorrect output. To alleviate this {{cmd|bTABLEnested}} and {{cmd|eTABLEnested}} may be used as in the example below to ensure that table headers don't get mixed up with the document header.
<texcode>
\setupheadertexts[\directsetup{headertable}]
\startsetups [headertable]
\bTABLEnested[option=stretch,frame=off]
\setupTABLE[c][1][align=flushleft]
\setupTABLE[c][2][align=flushright]

\bTABLEbody
\dorecurse{50}{\bTR\dorecurse{5}{\bTD Row #1 col ##1\eTD}\eTR}
\eTABLEbody
\eTABLE
\stoptext
</texcode>
Compiling the above by using {{cmd|bTABLE}} and {{cmd|eTABLE}} instead of {{cmd|bTABLEnested}} and {{cmd|eTABLEnested}} in the setup for <tt>headertable</tt> one notices the need for the nested type.

= 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>
