Dear list members,

I am trying to recreate a layout for some dictionary with ConTeXt. It is a two column layout with line numbering between the columns, that is, there is only one numbering for both columns. How can I do this with ConTeXt?

I would need either an option to activate line numbering only for one column, which, as far as I can see, does not exist; or I could use the "command" option for "\setuplinenumbering" to make the line numbers dissappear for one column, but then I would need some way to decide whether a line number belongs to the first or to the second column, some command that returns to me the number of the actual column, which I can't find, too.

For illustration, I give a minimal example:


||\setuppapersize[A4][A4]\setupbodyfont[9pt]||
|||\setupcolumns[n=2, distance=1cm, ]\setuplinenumbering[step=5, method=page, location=right, align=flushright, width=.25cm]\starttext\startcolumns\startlinenumbering\dorecurse{10}{\inputlorem}\par\stoplinenumbering\stopcolumns\stoptext|||


In the result, there are (as is to be expected) line numbers between both columns and also to the right of the second column. How can I get rid of the latter ones?

(For the pdf result see also: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/501269/context-how-to-have-line-numbering-in-a-two-column-layout-for-one-column-only).

Best regards,
Oliver.
