Hello,
I am currently writing my paper for last year's BachoTeX proceedings.
I am using tugboat.mkxl module to design the layout.
In bachotex proceedings, the author's data and abstract are on a single
column and the article is usually typeset on two columns.
Comments in tugboat.mkxl states:
%D We have several column mechanisms and they all serve a different
purpose. Here we
%D use pagecolumns. They support much of what we can do in single
columns, but of
%D course there are exceptions. Floats can go into columns of aremoved
to the top or
%D bottom when there is no room. We don't span mid column. Notes can go
in columns
%D or at the end. We can start with a single column (for titles and
such).
I can't figure out which part of the file should be used/adapted to
start with a single column.
What I did is to put datas and abstract in a frame and use \placefigure.
As stated in pagecolumns
manual, everything is put on the top of next page. (BTW, there is a
typo: «of aremoved»)
I don't know, whether this MWE helps is relevant, but just in case, here
is what I did:
* copy tugboat.mkxl to a new file p-bachotex.mkxl
* changed p-bachotex.mkxl like this:
\startsetups bachotex:naglowek:columns
\defineframedtext [Dane]
\setupframedtext
[Dane]
[width=18cm ,
align=normal,
frame=no]
\definenarrower
[Streszczenia]
[2*middle]
\startplacefigure [location={here,none}]
{\startDane
{\tfa\getvariable{tugboat}{author}}\par
\getvariable{tugboat}{address}\par
{\tt\getvariable{tugboat}{email}}\par
\startStreszczenia
\doifelsebufferempty {abstract} {
% no abstract
} {
\blank[line]
\enforced\let\\\endgraf
\setups[tugboat:abstract:setup]
\startAbstracts[title={Abstract}]
\stopAbstracts
}
\stopStreszczenia
\stopDane}
\stopplacefigure
\stopsetups
\startsetups tugboat:article:start
\starttext
\setups{tugboat:columns:presets}
\setups{tugboat:banner:setup:\getvariable{tugboat}{type}}
\setupheadertexts
[\setups{tugboat:banner:text:article}]
[pagenumber]
\setuppagenumber
[number=\getvariable{tugboat}{page}]
\startmode[columns]
\startpagecolumns
\stopmode
\setups[tugboat:introduction:article]
\doifmodeelse{columns}{
\setups{bachotex:naglowek:columns}
} {
\setups{bachotex:naglowek:nocolumns}
}
\stopsetups
My article begins so:
\enablemode [columns]
\usemodule [bachotex]
% skipped tugboat variables for this MWE
\StartAbstract
\input tufte
\StopAbstract
\StartArticle
\input knuth
\StopArticle
Thank you for your help
