Tables/Deprecated/Linetable

< Tables

There's no documentation about this mode besides in the sources (tabl-ltb.mkii/tabl-ltb.mkiv). It is for huge tables that can spread over several pages horizontally and vertically. It can repeat not only rows (headers, footers) but even columns.

• \setupcolors[state=start]
  \setuplinetable[n=6,m={2,2,2},regels=25]
  
  \startlinetable
  \NC aaa\crlf aaa \NC bb \NC c \NC ddddd \NC eeee \NC ff \NC \NR

Another sample, posted by Hans to the mailing list on 2004-12-14:

• \setuplinetable[n=6,lines=40]
  
  \setuplinetable[c][1]   [width=2cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=red]
  \setuplinetable[c][4]   [width=3cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=yellow]
  \setuplinetable[c][6]   [width=3cm,background=color,backgroundcolor=magenta]
  \setuplinetable[r][odd] [background=color,backgroundcolor=gray]
  \setuplinetable[r][even][background=color,backgroundcolor=green]
  
  \starttext
  
  \showframe \showstruts
  
  \setupcolors[state=start]
  
  \startlinetable
  \dorecurse{5}{\NC aaa\crlf aaa \NC bb \NC c \NC ddddd \NC eeee \NC ff} \NC \NR
  \dorecurse{20}{\dorecurse{5}{\NC aaa \NC bb \NC c \NC ddddd \NC eeee \NC ff} \NC \NR}
  \stoplinetable
  
  \stoptext
