[NTG-context] Re: \startcolumns and \startcolumnset
Dear Dalyoung,Have you tried \startsimplecolumns\stopsimplecolumns instead of the columnset mechanism?In your example I put the above commands and I got the attached PDF: is this what you want to obtain?Best regards: Otared

[NTG-context] How to Create Asymmetrical Continuous Columns in ConTeXt?
Hi all,
I have a lengthy text that I wish to seamlessly incorporate using the
\input{mytext} command in ConTeXt.
Additionally, I aim to present it in asymmetrical continuous columns, where the
text flows over several pages.
I have tried paragraphs and columns, but in paragraphs, I can't flow text
across several pages without manually breaking it, and in columns, I haven't
found a way to implement asymmetric columns.
How can I achieve this layout in ConTeXt? this is a MWE but it does not work
properly:
\definecolumnset[mymixedcolumn][n=2]
\setupcolumnset[mymixedcolumn:1][width=4cm]
\setupcolumnset[mymixedcolumn:2][width=7cm]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[mymixedcolumn]
\dorecurse{5}{
\input{knuth}
}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
also is there a mechanism to automatically continue text between desired
frames? For example, is there a way to write a function that, if the text
reaches the end of the line and there is not enough space for another line in
that frame, it continues the text in another frame that is already specified?
in other word How do you make text flow to another part of a page?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Seyal

[NTG-context] Parallel columns using start/stop setups
Two concurrent situations can happen, which I'd like to typeset as two
parallel columns while keeping the overall page layout (i.e., headers,
footers, margins, and such).
current version: 2023.07.18 22:07
I'd like to find a way to set up start/stop environments, if possible, to
come up with a general-purpose solution (i.e., the prose itself is not
changed).
Here are a few examples. In the first, a "concurrent" environment is
created with two "timelines":
% SOT
\definestartstop[concurrent][
before={\startcolumns[n=2, align={verytolerant,stretch}, separator=rule]},
after=\stopcolumns,
]
\definestartstop[timelinea][
after=\column,
]
\definestartstop[timelineb][]
\starttext
\startconcurrent
\starttimelinea
\dorecurse{5}{\input ward}
\stoptimelinea
\starttimelineb
\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth}
\stoptimelineb
\stopconcurrent
\stoptext
% EOT
The ward and knuth texts end up in the same column because one is shorter
than the other. Here's another attempt:
% SOT
\defineparagraphs[concurrent][n=2]
\definestartstop[timelinea][
before=\concurrent,
after=\concurrent,
]
\definestartstop[timelineb][
before=\concurrent,
]
\starttext
\startconcurrent
\starttimelinea
\dorecurse{5}{\input ward}
\stoptimelinea
\starttimelineb
\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth}
\stoptimelineb
\stopconcurrent
\stoptext
% EOT
This loses much of the input text.
Can this be accomplished using LMTX and what would be the best approach?
Would this setupparagraphs, definecolumnset, synchronizestreams, or
possibly incomplete/experimental functionality?
Thank you!

If you enable \setuplayout[grid=yes], lines get placed correctly.
Also floats work well (here and top).
But some columnsetspans still disappear, and footnotes get overwritten.

[NTG-context] \startcolumnset ... \stopcolumnset is working.
Dear all,
I didn’t test “\startcolumnset … \stopcolumnset” for some time, because I got
error whenever I tested it under Mac OS Big Sur.
However, two days ago, I tested it, and found that it was working.
I install updated version today and run a test file again.
Finally, I get an output without error!
I don't know what is happened, but it is a good news.
Here is a sample file which I simplified one that is given by one of the
experts.
Someone may modify it better.
Thanks to ConTeXt team.

Ok, I've had a chance to look into this. Maybe I'm missing something, but
paragraphs cannot be split across pages. Is that correct? That's a bit of a
problem.
As for columnsets, they seem to change the output routine for the entire page.
Also not ideal in this case.

[NTG-context] small fontsize and \definecolumnsetspan cause columns to jump (bug?)
Hi, if the fontsize is smaller than ~11pt and there is \startcolumnsetspan used, then the two first lines of the second column are not aligned to the grid (they jump). Making the font bigger, or deleting the \startcolumnsetspan can both fix the problem. It seems like a bug to me, but maybe I'm doing something wrong. Any idea about how to align all the lines in this specific table? I'm using it in a whole chapter in a small book with poems and on a small format the jump is visible. \showgrid \setupbodyfont[10pt] %\setupbodyfont[12pt] % works ok \setuppapersize[A8] % just to make this visible \setuplayout[grid=yes] \definecolumnset[example2][n=6, width=20mm] \definecolumnsetspan[title][n=6] \starttext \startcolumnset[example2] \startcolumnsetspan[title] Jumpy table \blank[line] \stopcolumnsetspan \input ward \stoptext Andrej ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Re: [NTG-context] Problems with column sets?
Sigh. I should have mentioned that that I reinstalled LMTX from scratch on
both machines, and that my mac is running macOS Monterey 12.3.1.

Hi,
I have used newcolumnset module to make a test sheet. It was made by the help
of experts in the list.
It worked fine a month ago and also worked via TeXlive 2021.
But I got error using the recent version.
Thanks Nicola and John for testing.
I have listed it before and tried to find out the cause.
I have test the following file in the editors, vscode, vim, atom and even in
the terminal.
It might be an apple binary problem as Hans suspected.
I’d like to know that it is the only problem for Mac users.
Here is the code and the part of error message:
It was tested in vscode, vim and terminal too.
I am using Mac OSX,

[NTG-context] using the newcolumnsets module
Dear all,
I made an exam form by the help of the experts in this list.
However, it was not working after recent update.
Here is a code which I made for the test.
If I use “\startcolumns \stopcolumns”, then it has no problem.
But using “\startcolumnset[exam] … \stopcolumnset” produces error message
“return code 11”.
It loads “m-newcolumnset.tex” without problem.
What is the cause of this error?
Thank you for reading.
Best regards,
Dalyoung

In several articles I get a problem, and I can’t (yet) reproduce it in a MWE:
The text in a two-column columnset suddenly breaks at the end of a left column,
the end is missing.
Here’s an example PDF:
https://sedna.fiee.net/f/24d54a952b0243a98775/?dl=1
What could case that?

Personally I'd never use columnsets for anything else than very controlled

normal pagebuilder. So, first of all you need to operate on the grid (i can

Then, \chapter itself flushes pages so that should be disabled.
Thank you, I got it mostly working now.
The CGJ layout doesn’t actually use \chapter but its own convoluted
\startArticle. Until last issue it tried to be flexible and setup three
different column modes. Now I eliminated the last leftovers of that. I still
struggle to understand some pecularities...
What I did wrong:
* \setuplayout[grid=yes] is important

Thank you, I got it mostly working now.
The CGJ layout doesn’t actually use \chapter but its own convoluted
\startArticle. Until last issue it tried to be flexible and setup three
different column modes. Now I eliminated the last leftovers of that. I still
struggle to understand some pecularities...
What I did wrong:
* \setuplayout[grid=yes] is important
* you can’t start a columnsetspan before the columnset

Re: [NTG-context] Asymmetrical Column layout leads to an extra blank page (Solved!)
Hello,
I managed to resolve the issue - which turns out bcos I had 2 back2back
columnset definitions. So instead, I combined them into 1 and the result
was ok.
*Before (leads to blank page or page with symmetrical columns):*
\definecolumnset[2col][n=2, distance=3.5mm, page=no]
\setupcolumnset[2col:1][width=.65\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[2col:2][width=.35\makeupwidth]
\definecolumnset[3col][n=3, page=yes]
\setupcolumnset[3col:1][width=.25\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[3col:2][width=.30\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[3col:3][width=.45\makeupwidth]
\startcolumnset[2col]
...
\stopcolummnset
\startcolumnset[3col]
...
\stopcolummnset
*After (gets the desired result):*
\definecolumnset[summary][nleft=2, nright=3, distance=3.5mm, page=no]
\setupcolumnset[summary:1][width=.65\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[summary:2][width=.35\makeupwidth]

[NTG-context] Asymmetrical Column layout leads to an extra blank page
Hello All,
I am new to this community and am really excited about the possibilities
with ConTeXt.
My question is related to the thread -
https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg92767.html (the
suggested solution did not work, unfortunately)
After trying out various options, I am faced with these 2 (sub-optimal)
choices -
1. Extra Blank page with Asymmetric Columns in the next page (with the
\subject{} uncommented)
2. No Blank page with Symmetric Columns (with the \subject{} commented)
3. page=yes / no - does not work (same outcome as above)
I am not sure the role of \section or \subject in this matter (seems to be
somehow interfering with asymmetrical columnset).
\usemodule[newcolumnsets]
...
% \subject{} \definecolumnset[soi1][n=3, distance=3mm, page=yes]
% \definecolumnset[currency][n=3, page=yes]
\setupcolumnset[soi1:1][width=.25\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[soi1:2][width=.30\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[soi1:3][width=.45\makeupwidth]
Any tips, help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. If not for
columnset, is there any other way to get this type of layout?

[NTG-context] columns yet again
Hi all,
I hope everybody made it back home safely after the meeting. It was
great listening in, even if I couldn't be there in person, unfortunately!
Today's question is an old one, but I'm confused. What I need: two
columns, of unequal width, the left column has line numbering; two
column layout starts in the middle of pages. What I tried so far:
1. \defineparagraphs allows to have two paragraphs of unequal width,
but the line numbering isn't visible:
\setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4,landscape]
\setuplayout[grid=yes]
\definelinenumbering
[original]
[step=2,location=text,align=flushright,distance=0.4cm,style=small,color=magenta]
\defineparagraphs [Half] [n=2]
\setupparagraphs [Half] [before=,after=,align=verytolerant]
\setupparagraphs [Half]
[1]
[width=0.45\textwidth]
\starttext
\startlinenumbering [original] [start=4]
Poetry
One
Word
Per
Line
is
Poetic
\stoplinenumbering
\nextHalf
Prose translation
\stopHalf
\stoptext
2. columnsets:\usemodule[old-columnsets]: unequal width, but no line
numbering:
\usemodule [old-columnsets]
\setuppapersize [A4,landscape][A4,landscape]
\setuplayout [grid=yes]
\definecolumnset [numbered] [n=2]
\setupcolumnset [numbered] [distance=0.5cm,frame=on]
\setupcolumnset [numbered:1] [width=4cm]
\setupcolumnset [numbered:2] [width=10cm]
\starttext
\startcolumnset [numbered]
\startlinenumbering[step=1,location=left]
Poetry
One
Word
Per
Line
is
Poetic\par % needed, otherwise last line is not indented correctly
\stoplinenumbering
\column
Two
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
3. Same example without the first line: line numbers, but width is
ignored; both columns are of width 0.5\textwidth.
4. page columns: always start at new page.
5. \startcolumns: like 3.; equal width.
In addition, for reasons that are completely unclear to me, the example
from the columnsets manual (p. 32) does not compile:
\setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4,landscape]
\setuplayout[grid=yes]
\showframe
\definecolumnset[example][n=3,page=left]
\setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=contrast]
\setupcolumnset[frame=on,framecolor=color-4,rulethickness=1mm]
\definecolor[fakerulecolor][white]
\setupcolumnset[example:1][width=2cm]
\setupcolumnset[example:2][width=4cm]
\setupcolumnset[example:3][width=3cm]
\setupcolumnset[example:4][width=3cm]
\setupcolumnset[example:5][width=4cm]
\setupcolumnset[example:6][width=6cm]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[example]
\dorecurse{5}{
\dorecurse{3}{\fakewords{10}{15}\par}
\column[yes]
}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
ends in "tex error > tex error on line 23 in file /tmp/test.tex: !
Undefined control sequence
So I'm a bit confused: what I should use? What is the current status of
the diverse columns environments?
Have a nice Sunday!

[NTG-context] Wrong page number when placefigure spans full page in columnset
Hi,
When I place a figure within a columnset and that figure takes a full
page then the page number in the header is incorrect. Page number is the
same as the previous page but on the next page it's correct. Please see
example below and attached showing page 2 twice with pages numbered 1,
2, 2, 4, 5. If I reduce the height of the figure (from 15 to 12cm for
example), then some main text gets added on the page and page number (3)
becomes correct. Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for your help.

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.

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?

Re: [NTG-context] another columnset issue (solved)
Hi again,
I had the problem that my chapters always started on a left page, even if I
just had page=yes.
I found out I had to set page=no in my columnset as well as in
\setuphead[chapter].
Seems like either the columnset or the columnsetspan always starts a new page.
While testing I didn’t get a new page reliably, but I can’t reproduce it
anymore.
So, this works so far.
I’m starting a new columnset for every chapter because I have chapters with 1-3
columns,
the example is a simplification.

[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.

[NTG-context] column(sets) questions
Background: I’m typesetting the annual report of my home town’s "friends of the earth" chapter. The corporate design has pages with one, two and three columns (yes, that makes sense). Chapter titles run over the whole page width or sometimes only over two columns on three column pages. Images, ads and "boxes" are one or two columns wide (here, top or bottom placement, "here" only in one column). There are a few simple tables on one or two column pages. I guess I must use columnsets? Still looking into the other options. Can’t remember the details of the discussion I had with Hans in Bassenge... * In the preface of the columnsets manual we’re advised to \usemodule[newcolumnsets] This seems outdated. * If I use columnsets for two and three column pages, should I also use a one-column columnset for consistency? * Can I define columnsetspans whose width depends on the columnset? e.g. like \definecolumnsetspan[Title][n=2] \definecolumnsetspan[Intro][n=2] \startsetups cs:TwoCol \setupcolumnsetspan[Title][n=2] \setupcolumnsetspan[Intro][n=1] \stopsetups \startsetups cs:ThreeCol \setupcolumnsetspan[Title][n=3] \setupcolumnsetspan[Intro][n=2] \stopsetups \definecolumnset[ZweiS][ n=2, setups=cs:TwoCol, ] \definecolumnset[DreiS][ n=3, setups=cs:ThreeCol, ] (This doesn’t work, and it’s not a MWE.) * ConTeXt stops a few times (probably for every float) on \wait =, I guess that comes from \page_grd_command_flush_floats in page-cst.mkiv; is that necessary? * Page columns don’t have spans, right? * If I would want to use mixed columns, do I need to use \setupmixedcolumns etc. or do mixed columns already replace columns if I don’t \usemodule[old-columns]? Do mixed columns have spans? So far...

Hi there,
How do I suppress the blank page in the following document while
maintaining the asymmetrical multicolumn layout? The problem centres
around "page=yes," whereby removing it eliminates the blank page, but
then wreaks havoc on the document layout.

Add "page=yes" to start each new columnset environment with a page break.

Remove the page break at the begin of each section because the break
happens after you start the columnset environment. The value of the
beforesection key is inserted before the values from other keys are used.

[NTG-context] Column sets (span) & unwanted vertical gap
Hello,
the code bellow produces unwanted vertical gap between the bottom border of the figure and the following
title "A" in the first column (marked by red arrows "<->" in the PDF attached).
Note that in the second column there is no such gap.
I tried to play with "before", "inbetween", "beforesection" and other keys of
\setuphead to remove the gap but without success.
Is there a way to avoid the vertical gap?
My code so far:
\setuppapersize[A3,landscape]
\setuplayout

Re: [NTG-context] Columns with non-equal width; nested columns
Hello,
thanks for reaction - so I'm starting with column sets (@Wolfgang: text from
column 2a may flow into 2b).
My code so far:
\definecolumnset[example][n=3,balancing=no]
\definecolumnsetspan[wide][n=2,background=contrast]
\setupexternalfigures[location=default]
\setuphead[subsubsubsubsubject][style=bold]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[example]
\startcolumnsetspan[wide]
\externalfigure[hacker][width=95mm]
\stopcolumnsetspan
\dorecurse{2}{
\subsubsubsubsubject{Sub}
\input ward
}
\column
\column
\darkred
\starttabulate[|rB|lp|]
\NC a
\NC
AA
\NC\NR
\NC aa
\NC
AAA
\NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
produces overlapping lines at the end of the first column.
- How to avoid this?
- Being in a columnset environment, is there a way to tell context "go to third
column" (regardless in which column I am currently typing)?
- Altough I found some wiki material about column sets (e.g.
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupcolumnsetstart or columns.pdf), I found
nothing about "page columns" - can you give me a link?
- All wiki examples use "1" at the place of "nesting level":
"
\setupcolumnsetstart[...][...][...][...]
[...] columnset name
[...] nesting level
[...] number of individual column in columnset
[...] starting line (1 = start at the top)
...
\setupcolumnsetstart[three][1][1][15]
^
| -- HERE
"
Is there a sample which would use an other number? - I'm asking as I guess my
task has to do with nested column sets.
Best regards,
Lukas

Such a layout is not possible with simple old columns.
Try columnsets or page columns (see manuals of the same name).

[NTG-context] white space after a float in a column
Dear list members,
I am struggling with floats in a two-column layout. I understand that there are
three up-to-date mechanisms for columns: columnsets, pagecolumns and pagegrids.
However, in neither setup I succeed in producing some extra vertical whitespace
after the float if a caption is omitted (i.e. location=none in \setupcaption).
My example:
\definepapersize[square21][width=21cm,height=21cm]
\setuppapersize[square21][square21]
\definecolumnset[Two][n=2]
\setupcolumnset[Two]
\setupcaption[intermezzo][location=none,spaceafter=1cm]
% no value for
spaceafter seems to work
\setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch]
\setupframedtexts[frame=on,corner=round,width=local]
\setuplayout[grid=yes]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[Two]
\input knuth \par
\placeintermezzo[bottom][]{}
\startframedtext
\input tufte \par
\stopframedtext
\input knuth \par
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
If 'columnset' is replaced everywhere by 'pagecolumns' or by 'pagegrid' through
a find-and-replace operation, the result remains identical.
Is it possible to insert more vertical white space after the intermezzo?
A secondary remark: \placeintermezzo always puts the framed text at the top of
the next column, no matter whether the parameter is top or bottom. But this is
not a big deal.

Re: [NTG-context] Graphics placement with columnsets/page grids (was "no subject)
Ok, I have now tested a more minimal example with version in TL 2019 and
with the current standalone.
The example works perfectly with the version that was included in TL 2019
(2019.03.21 21:39).
In the current beta I get this behaviour: A figure on a page after page 1
does not stick to the bottom of the page if we have no caption.
```
\usemodule[newcolumnsets]
\setuplayout
[grid=yes]
\definecolumnset[example][n=2]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[example]
\dorecurse{11}{
\input ward\par
}
\placefigure [btrl,none]
{}
{
\externalfigure[placeholder][width=\columnsetspanwidth{2}]
}
\dorecurse{10}{
\input ward\par
}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
```
Is this a bug, or am I making a mistake somewhere?
Best,
Denis

[NTG-context] Graphics placement with columnsets/page grids (was "no subject)
Hi,
just a quick follow up:
This (i.e., deleting the "none") gives the right result:
```
\placefigure [btrl]
{}
{
\externalfigure[placeholder][width=\columnsetspanwidth{2}]
}
```
The figure is indeed at the bottom of the page. Yet, `\placefigure
[btrl,none]` seems to remove the caption, but the figure stays where it was
and we have additional lines under the figure. Shouldn't the figure stick
to the margin?
Best,
Denis

Hi,
I have for some hours tried to understand how to work with
columnsetspans (I'm trying with an updated lmtx), and have some
questions.
1) Is it only the floats that has the long list of placement options
(given on p. 18 in the columnsets manual), or should they also apply
to columnsetspans and columnsetareas? (I cannot get it to work with
"default=fxtb:2*10" and similar options for other elements than
floats). It would be useful to have it for other type of elements as
well.
2) What is the current correct way to get back on grid after formulas?
The only key that had lead me to something that seems to work in
\setupformulas is "option=depth". Is that the way to go?
3) This is a bit unrelated, but is it possible to set page backgrounds
on specific page. Something like \setupbackgrounds[page][page=3, ...]
(I cannot find any keys for this in setup-en.pdf). Right now I can set
it for an odd and an even page, but then if I want a background on the
page after that, I have to put that code at the place where it will be
used. (I got an error with \startpostponing[+1] ... \stoppostponing)
4) To be a bit more concrete on the first issue: In the example below,
how can I place the columnsetspan at the bottom right? Second and
third column, 10 lines down? I attach the result of running this file.

Hi!
I have looked more carefully at the columnsets manual, and it looks like
(parts of) the columnsets mechanism is somehow broken at the moment,
since some of the examples there are not showing what they are supposed to.
the mkii mechanism has been replaced by a new one but it's not
completely compatible (these placements are actually for floats and
spans were just a special kind abusing that mechanism)
Can this be confirmed? Is there a plan to get it to work soon again?

[NTG-context] Questions on columnsetspan (and grids and backgrounds)

1) Is it only the floats that has the long list of placement options
(given on p. 18 in the columnsets manual), or should they also apply
to columnsetspans and columnsetareas? (I cannot get it to work with
"default=fxtb:2*10" and similar options for other elements than

2) What is the current correct way to get back on grid after formulas?
The only key that had lead me to something that seems to work in

3) This is a bit unrelated, but is it possible to set page backgrounds

[NTG-context] \startplacetable in \startcolumnset
Hi,
I used the following exam format well which was set by the help of Wolfgang
long time ago.
Recently I got a strange output when I used \startplacetable or \placetable in
the \startcolumnset … \stopcolumnset.
There is a strange number first and table in the next column.
The output is OK if I comment out either \startcolumnset or \placetable.
Is “\definecolumnset, \startcolumnset” still a good command? I couldn’t find it
in the list of commands.
Thank you for reading.
Best regards,
Dalyoung

Re: [NTG-context] columnset + floats = bad
Thanks for the suggestion Alan!
I tried out the pagecolumns approach. According to the manual it seems to
handle floats a bit better than the columnsets and I do not require spans right
now. However, here another weird thing is happening. After the end of the
pagecolumns an extra page is flushed even though it does not contain any
material. Why? MWE is below, output of latest beta attached.
Cheers, Henri

Re: [NTG-context] columnset + floats = bad
Hans points out that you need to use:
\setuplayout [grid=yes]
with columnsets (and floats).
You can also try "pagecolumns", yet another mechanism, each has its own
charm. ;-)

[NTG-context] Wrong section space after placefigure with newcolumnsets
Hi,
I am placing figures in a columnset. The next header (section,
subsection...) following the figure has always missing vertical space.
See the normal space after "One subsection" and "Four subsection" but
reduced space after "Two subsection" and "Three subsection" in the
example below.
Tested with ConTeXt ver: 2018.04.04 and LuaTeX, Version 1.07.0.
This seems to be the opposite problem as the one described recently in
the thread "Bug in wrapped placefigure".
Any solution or fix?
Thank you very much for your help.

[NTG-context] columnsetspan extra line
Dear all,
I'm struggling with the column environments these days. The code below
runs fine, but there are some problems with the result.
1) There is an extra blank line at the top of the left column. I can
get rid of it with a \vskip-\baselineksip (commented out in the
example) but that feels like a hack. Does anyone see why it is there
from the beginning?
2) Why is the frame something like 3 lines down from the top of the
page? Can I force it to be on top?
3) Is there a simple way to define the height of the frame (that is
now set to 0.3\textheight) to be a certain number of lines?

[NTG-context] Strange numbers appear (when figures are moved in columnsets)

The example below gives strange numbers (4110) and (1410) in the pdf

Dear list,
(I got some information offlist from Hans regarding NAW, it seems they
used an old pdftex-based hacked version)
I gave no example. I decided now that I would like to try the new
pagegrid out (loaded via newcolumnsets module now). But I somehow fail
even with a simple(?) example: Could someone point out what I do
wrong? If you have a small snippet of working code (even with
columnsetspans, I left them out since I think this simpler document
must work first) I'm very happy to look at it.
Also, the placement options for \placefigure seem to be ignored (try
for example bottom). Are they not implemented yet?
Best regards, Mikael

[NTG-context] TwoColumns in two different languages, with alternate text on even and odd page.
Hi Arthur and Hans,
I make a statement on a part of the Arthur's reply (" there are no real-life
examples of documents that use it") : in fact, there are rare examples of such
printing materials : scholar editing and printing of Ancient texts are mainly
(if I am right) such printing material (including Ancient Armenian or Georgian
liturgic hymns).
An example of such a book : on the even page you read a 'twocolumns' text (say
: Greek text with its Latin translation) with there own page setting, including
Stephanus apparatus in the footer, and several levels of footnotes within the
same footer. Commentaries (in English, French, German, usw) and the like are on
the odd page. The average (or regular) situation seems to be less complicated :
Greek or Latin text on the even page and translation on the odd page. With
Pablo Rodriguez help (actually, this is mainly Pablo's work) I have tried to
figure such a goal. But before setting up the even/odd page, there is an issue
which one has to fix: the text on two columns is well fitted on the first page,
but not on the following pages. How to fix this issue with Greek text on the
left column and Latin Text on the right one ? See the mismatch between texts on
the second page in the sample below .
Thank you very much for your remarks and advices.

Re: [NTG-context] LaTeX reledmac: what about ConTeXt ?
Hi Pablo and others columns addicts !
I answer to myself, trying to understand why there is a mismatch when trying to
parse a bunch of pages with 2 columns. It seems to have a problem with filling
the page, even on the first page. I get back to basics and to the
documentation, testing an explicit sample (sample 901, page 45, on numbering
lines on 2 columns set).
I change the section title and I copy/paste the first paragraph of an english
translation of an Aristotelian text. I put 'regular' instead of 'bold' for
numbering lines.

Hi Pablo,
Reading the documentation again (i.e. columnsets.pdf), I see that the module
\definecolumnset[example][n=2] allow how to define how many pages we want a set
of columns, each of one being define with its own number of lines and so on.
Therefore, the behaviour of the first page will be different of the second,
etc. Further, one have to imagine a first recto (odd) page blank, followed by
an even page (even, left page) with a double columns (greek-latin text) and the
next third page (odd one) with commentaries. Then, one have to define the
layout, because the number of lines of the greek-latin text on left page has to
fit with the commentaries on the right page (and because it is not the same
layout). Moreover, one can imagine for the moment a printed odd page (on left
page) and a blank one (on the right page).
Maybe it is this behaviour (when a page is filled)- and necessary there is
another behaviour to deal with when context parse for the even page - about
which we have to scrutinize.
The purpose of columnset module is to set how many column for a single page and
how to fit this columns to a number of defined pages (with titles and
pictures). Its goal is not to make separate columns on the same page. At least
as far as I can understand the process.

Hi Pablo,
I'm trying to find a path through the 2 columns set greek-latin with 'criticus
apparatus'.
1. If you put a bigger text for avoid the \dorecurse command, with
\definecolumnset[example][n=2, balance=yes] in the preamble, then the following
coding (note: \startcolumnset and \stopcolumnset commands), all is well as ends
well IF ONLY the text's length is less than a page. If the text length is
larger than one page, there is a mismatch as a result, where the latin text
goes is overprinted on the French text and the footnotes are overprinted by the
Greek text.
2. Moreover, if you comment the \dorecurse command, with a short Greek and
Latin text (only a paragraph each), all the notes are well printed, the same
for the numbering line, but the French text is overprinted by the right column
Latin ! (Points 1., and 2. without ConteXt complaining or any error in the log
file.
3. Now, return to the \dorecurse command, as follow :
\dorecurse{8}{
\startcolumnset[example]{
\Stephanus{1a} [1a] Ὁμώνυμα [...greek text...]
etc.
The result is the same as point 2.
I conclude there is a problem with the columnset command...
4. Now, I wonder if there is not a problem with brackets around the Greek-Latin
text...
