Hi,
I've been having issues with columns and \start(stop)bodymatter statements
since I updated MacTeX to 2009.
Here is a sample of code which works fine on MacTeX 2008 (tlmgr update'ed)
version, and which crashes on MacTeX 2009.
Here's a simplified example that doesn't work with the latest ConTeXt
version either. It seems like bug in "balance=yes" inside columnsets
(might be just a missing \egroup) that only affects mkii (mkiv works
fine, but not on TL 2009 :)
\definecolumnset
[deuxcolonnes]
[balance=yes]
\starttext
%\startbodymatter
\startcolumnset[deuxcolonnes]
\input tufte
\stopcolumnset
%\stopbodymatter
\stoptext
I leave it as an exercise to the others to spot the missing delimiter
in mkii sources.
ok, i figured it out
- when i split the code in mkii and mkiv i merged page-new.tex into
page-set without noticing that the balancing code was just experimental
and not even working currently
- so, the balancing code in page-set is just a hook
- in mkiv i had actually nilled the code so no error there
we can do some manual balancing, like:
\setupcolumnset [test-1] [balance=yes]
\setupcolumnset [test-2] [balance=yes]
\setupcolumnsetlines[test-1][1][1] [8]
\setupcolumnsetlines[test-1][1][2][10]
\startcolumnset [test-1] \dorecurse {1}{\input tufte \par} \stopcolumnset
\startcolumnset [test-2] \dorecurse {2}{\input ward \par} \stopcolumnset
