Hi!

I have looked more carefully at the columnsets manual, and it looks like
(parts of) the columnsets mechanism is somehow broken at the moment, since
some of the examples there are not showing what they are supposed to.

Can this be confirmed? Is there a plan to get it to work soon again?

Best regards, Mikael
