Hello,
I have troubles with \definextable, something I obviously didn't understand
This MWE compiles well.
\definextable [Test]
\setupxtable [Test]
[frame=off]
\starttext
\startxtable %[Test]
\startxrow
\startxcell [Test]
bla
\stopxcell
\startxcell [Test]
bli
\stopxcell
\stopxrow
\stopxtable
\stoptext
However, if I uncomment [Test] afetr \startxtable, I get this error:
[...]
Why can't I nest the same kind of xtable?
These are *not* nested xtables.
Your problem here is a circular reference where a parameter (e.g.
framecolor) tries to load the value of its parent because it has no
value itself. Since you set the parent to itself it results in an
endless loop until it runs out of memory.
To avoid this problem uses different instance name for the table as a
whole and the named parameters for a cell, row etc.
\definextable [Tableinstance] [framecolor=red]
\setupxtable [Parameters] [foregroundstyle=italic]
\starttext
\startxtable [Tableinstance]
\startxrow
\startxcell [Parameters]
bla
\stopxcell
\stopxrow
\stopxtable
\stoptext
