== Specifying the cell column ==
When writing a table you can omit empty cells and define only cells for specified columns. To have this feature fully available you need to have a beta or a quite fresh ConTeXt version.
Two methods are available:
* With the TD "n" option, the undefined cells are merged into a single spanned cell.
* With the TD "m" option, the undefined cells appear as empty normal cells.
Here is an example using the "n" option:
<texcode>
\bTABLE[width=3em]
\bTR\bTD d1 \eTD\bTD[n=2] d2 \eTD\bTD[n=5] d5 \eTD\bTD[n=7] d7 \eTD\eTR
\bTR\bTD f1 \eTD\bTD[n=4] f4 \eTD\bTD[n=5] f5 \eTD\bTD[n=7] f7 \eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
</texcode>
It looks like:

\bTR\bTD d1 \eTD\bTD[n=2] d2 \eTD\bTD[n=5] d5 \eTD\bTD[n=7] d7 \eTD\eTR
\bTR\bTD f1 \eTD\bTD[n=4] f4 \eTD\bTD[n=5] f5 \eTD\bTD[n=7] f7 \eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
</context>
Here is an example using the "m" option:
<texcode>
\bTABLE[width=3em]
\bTR\bTD d1 \eTD\bTD[m=2] d2 \eTD\bTD[m=5] d5 \eTD\bTD[m=7] d7 \eTD\eTR
\bTR\bTD f1 \eTD\bTD[m=4] f4 \eTD\bTD[m=5] f5 \eTD\bTD[m=7] f7 \eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
</texcode>
It looks like:
