ConTeXt: Preformatted text inside tables
I want to insert preformatted text into a table. I tried to accomplish this with startlines but the command shows no effect in tables. It is possible with break but this is no real solution.
How can I insert preformatted text inside tables?
MWE:
starttext
startlines
multi
lines
work
stoplines
bTABLE
bTR
bTD
startlines
multi
lines
work
stoplines
eTD
bTD
multibreak

The problem with natural tables is that each cell saves the content before the lines environment can see the text as individual lines.
You can work around this when you put the the text for the lines environment in a buffer. When you load now the content of the buffer in the table the text stays in separate lines.
starttext
startbuffer[lines]
multi
lines
work
stopbuffer
bTABLE
bTR
bTD
startlines
getbuffer[lines]
stoplines
eTD
eTR
eTABLE
stoptext
When you have only a few lines of text you can skip the lines environment and use the \ command to mark the end of each text line in the table cells.
starttext
bTABLE
bTR
bTD
multi\
lines\
work
eTD
eTR
eTABLE
stoptext
Another possibility is to replace natural tables with the xtable environment which can handle lines without problems because it uses a different method to calculate the table dimensions.
starttext
startxtable
startxrow
startxcell
startlines
multi
lines
work
stoplines
stopxcell
stopxrow
stopxtable
stoptext
