[NTG-context] Missing number error, related to setupcolumnsetlines
Hello,
I've got a Missing number error, treated as zero. I've whittled the
problem code down to this minimal example:
\definecolumnset [abbcolumn] [n=2,distance=5mm,balancing=yes]
\setupcolumnsetlines[abbcolumn][1][1][60]
\setupcolumnsetlines[abbcolumn][1][2][60]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[abbcolumn]
foo
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
By contrast, if I remove the \setupcolumnsetlines commands, the error
goes away. (But I think I need those commands, in case the text has more
than 60 lines.)
Also, if I run the example shown on this page
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupcolumnsetlines
which seems very similar to mine, it works fine; no errors.
Based on the latter working example, I tried adding the following to my
minimal example that fails:
\switchtobodyfont[small]
or
\setupcolumnsetstart[abbcolumn][1][1][1]
\setupcolumnsetstart[abbcolumn][1][2][1]
but neither one solved the problem.
Here is more of the error output I received when running TeX on the
minimal example shown at the start of this email:
! Missing number, treated as zero.
