Ah, thank you!
But even if I put the commands before \startcolumnset, the "AdSpace" appears on
the second page. While this was the intention of the example, it seems like I
can’t control on which page my ads/images appear.
In my actual project, all the defined columnsetareas show up on the second page
(where the first columnset starts), even though all have state=stop, and never
show up again where I set state=start.
I wanted to use it like
\define[2]\Anzeige{%
\setupcolumnsetareatext[ad#1][{\externalfigure[#2][width=\overlaywidth]}]
\setupcolumnsetarea[ad#1][state=start]
}
I also tried to just reserve the space with columnsetareas and place the ads
with \setlayer; that would work if I could control the placement of the areas...
Since I must complete this project within this week, I already started from
scratch in my layout program (switched from my old InDesign to Affinity
Publisher – much cheaper but even less fun). Seems like I overestimated
ConTeXt’s (and my) readiness for this kind of layout. A pity.

You need brackets for both argument, i.e.
\setupcolumnsetareatext[...][...] but even then your example only works
when I place the areatext before \startcolumnset.

Re: [NTG-context] columnset issues
Another set of columnset issues: columnset areas
(1)
In the columnsets manual, there’s a type key or a second optional parameter to
\definecolumnsetarea that’s actually missing (commented code in page-cst.mkiv).
The manual doesn’t explain the setup keys; I assume x/nx is in columns, y/ny is
in lines, while x/y is the start and nx/ny the size.
(2)
Since float placement doesn’t work like I need it (must make another MWE to
better nail it), I thought I’d try columnset areas for the placement of ads:
\usemodule[visual]
\useMPlibrary[dum]
\definecolor[fakerulecolor][gray]
\setuplayout[
grid=yes,
]
\showframe[text]
\showgrid
\definecolumnset[Two][
n=2,
page=no,
]
\definecolumnsetarea[AdSpace][
x=1,y=20,
nx=1,ny=20,
state=stop
]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[Two]
\fakewords{20}{30}
\setupcolumnsetareatext[AdSpace]{\externalfigure[MyAd][width=\textwidth,height=0.45\textheight]}
\setupcolumnsetarea[AdSpace][state=start]
\fakewords{200}{200}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
The "AdSpace" should cover the lower left quarter of the page, y=20 should
start it in line 20, and ny=20 should make it 20 lines high, right?
But "MyAd" appears always at the place where I put \setupcolumnsetareatext.
Is this an error on my side, or is the code just incomplete/buggy/not ready?

[NTG-context] columnset issues
Hi again.
I use columnsets and wanted to setup my section titles to have one blank line
before and none after them.
If I use before={\blank[line]}, I sometimes don’t get that blank line.
If I use \blank in my section command, I get it always, but also if the section
starts on top of a column.
How can I reliably get one blank line before a section title, but not on the
top of a column?
That’s the original problem.
The MWE also shows:
– There’s irregular space at the top of columns, esp. on the first page.
– Sometimes the multi-line section title is moved into the previous paragraph.
These issues get fixed with grid=yes.
The original problem is also fixed in the MWE if I enable grid mode, there are
just sometimes two blank lines instead of one. In my actual project I get one
or zero lines. Couldn’t reproduce that in a MWE.
