< Visuals | Structurals >
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)
