There was a thread about columns and whitespace ~ 2 weeks ago, but I wasn't

has been set to more than none, set whitespace to 'line'.
ConTeXt does this to keep the lines on the grid.

Hallo Wolfgang,
Neither \setupwhitespace[halfline]nor

Set the whitespace after \startcolumns.
This works, but shouldn't be the whitespace a global setting?

AFAIK, no.
To create columns with different widths, you need to use columsets.

Second question, maybe a bug?
\startitemize[columns] does not interact well:
I suspect that it could or should use paragraphs internally rather than

\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
It produces footnotes in columns which isn't what I want. The
behaviour I want is the that produced by this example using
\startcolumns:
\starttext
\startcolumns
][
before={\starttextbackground[highlight]},
after=\stoptextbackground]
\starttext
\subject{Problem 1}
\startcolumns

{\chardef\collapseregisterpages\zerocount}%

\startcolumns
[\c!n=\registerparameter\c!n,
\c!balance=\registerparameter
with renewed
attention!
The answer is: use \startcolumns \stopcolumns.
And I say to myself: RTFM, RTFM,...
sorry for the noise :-(

the \column help with the first formula?
Because itemize use for the columns key the multicolumns envrionment
where you can force a new column with the \column command.
The internal work for this case is something like in the following example:
\starttext
\startcolumns
$a_n=\frac{(-1)^n}{\sqrt{n
Height of formula 2: \the\ht\scratchbox
Ahhh! The HEIGHT (not the width) ist the problem!?
So:
\startcolumns
\dontleavehmode
\vphantom{$a_n=\frac{(-1)^n}{\sqrt{n}}-3$}$a_n=2+\frac{1}{n+1}$%
$a_n=\frac{(-1)^n}{\sqrt{n}}-3$
\stopcolumns
works too.
Is there something like an \mathstrut macro
\startcolumns
\setupwhitespace[...] % local value
text in columns
\stopcolumns
more text
\stoptext
You can not only use dimension for \setuwhitespace, you can also use
skip values like \setupwhitespace[3pt plus 2pt minus 1pt].

, the text doesn't float around the picture when using two or
more columns, so when I do
--
\starttext
\startcolumns[n=2]
\placefigure[left,hang]{none}{\externalfigure[somepic][width=1.6cm]}
sometext
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
--
sometext appears in the second column, instead of next
could
use TeX's halign primitive because this did still work.
It is also easy to write a simple wrapper around this this emulate
ConTeXt's table syntax.
\starttext
\startcolumns[rule=on]
\halign{\strut#\quad\hfil#\cr
one: text \cr
two: text \cr
three: text \cr
four: text \cr
five: text \cr
\startcolumns[rule=on]
\starttabulate[|l|r|]
\NC one: \NC text \NC\NR
\NC two: \NC text \NC\NR
\NC three: \NC text \NC\NR
\NC four: \NC text \NC\NR
\NC five: \NC text \NC\NR
\NC six: \NC text \NC\NR
\NC seven: \NC text \NC\NR
\NC eight: \NC text \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\stopcolumns

Thanks, Jörg
this for a scientific
poster which is due rather soon ... Please share your valuable advice
with me :-)

Consider this:
---
\setupcolors
[state=start]
\setupcolumns
[background=color,
backgroundcolor=red]
\starttext
\startcolumns[n=2
=start]
\setupcolumns
[background=color,
backgroundcolor=red]
\starttext
\startcolumns[n=2]
\dorecurse{4}{\input tufte}
\stopcolumns
\framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=red]{Test}
\stoptext

Shouldn't the background of my columns be painted red? According
