== Color ==
Adding color to tables using the `\CL` and `\BL` commands appears to be deprecated in MKIV.
See: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tabulate
* There are also <cmd>BL</cmd> and <cmd>CL</cmd> for colored backgrounds, see below.
fixed a type I just created
The only ConTeXt docs are in [[manual:ms-cb-en.pdf|ConTeXt - an excursion]]. There is also two introductory articles in tugboat [http://tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb28-3/tb90mahajan.pdf ConTeXt basics for users: Table macros] [http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb29-1/tb91mahajan.pdf Table macros II] by Aditya Mahajan (2007 and 2008).
== Basic Commands ==
* You can leave out the <cmd>NC</cmd> before the "row" command, but not if you use <cmd>AR</cmd> in a last or single row (see example).
* You can influence the table with <cmd>setuptables</cmd>.
==Column Definition==
\NC \type{r} \VL right-aligned column\AR
\NC \type{p(width)} \VL Set each cell as a paragraph\AR
\NC \type{s(width)} \VL Specify the inter-column width\AR
\NC \type{w} \VL Set minimum column width\AR
\NC \type{k} \VL Insert a kern both left and right of the column\AR
An alternative means of spanning rows by a tall object makes use of a bit of TeX magic:
<cmd>smash{tall objextobject}</cmd>:
<table cols="2"><tr valign="top"><td>
==Background Colors==
Note: Adding color to tables using the `\CL` and `\BL` commands appears to be deprecated in MKIV; see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tabulate
A very nice application in table are background colors for rows/cells (a feature that doesn't work in [[Tabulate]]):
