Hi there,
I've been experimenting a bit with columnset (thats THE one feature
which will make me convert from LaTeX), and a few questions I have I
couldn't find explained in the manuals...
1) Is it possible to put a rule between two columns with columnsets? (I
know \startcolumns[n=2,distance=15pt,rule=on] does this, but I need
certain columnset features). The only thing I came up with so far is
\definecolumnset[example][n=3,distance=0pt] %n=3 instead n=2
\setupcolumnset[example][2][width=15pt]
and then put the rule in an area defined for column 2.
2) Is there a way to set ny "dynamically" for a columnsetarea, for
example, if the text/image/whatever put in the area runs over six lines,
tell it to just use six lines automatically?
3) When using columnsetareas, is there a way to link them to a specific
columnset? Like, I've got
\definecolumnset[set1]...
\definecolumnset[set2]...
\definecolumnsetarea[one][both][x=2,y=1,nx=1,ny=10]
This area pops up in both column sets, and the only way I got it from
not showing up in set2 was doing
\setupcolumnsetarea[one][both][state=start]
\startcolumnset[set1]
{...}
\stopcolumnset
\setupcolumnsetarea[one][both][state=stop]
\startcolumnset[set2]
{...}
\stopcolumnset
I would have expected a columnsetarea to be linked to a specific
columnset, is this the case? Like in
\definecolumnset[set1]...
\definecolumnset[set2]...
\definecolumnsetarea[set1][one][both][x=2,y=1,nx=1,ny=10] %area for set1
only
\definecolumnsetarea[set2][one][both][x=3,y=5,nx=2,ny=5] %area for set2
only
Maybe there's a parameter in definecolumnsetarea that does it, but I
didn't find anything. And in the columns manual there's just one set
being used...
Cheers
Michael
