Hello,
I've got a Missing number error, treated as zero. I've whittled the
problem code down to this minimal example:
\definecolumnset [abbcolumn] [n=2,distance=5mm,balancing=yes]
\setupcolumnsetlines[abbcolumn][1][1][60]
\setupcolumnsetlines[abbcolumn][1][2][60]

Hello,
I reported a Missing Number error back in December (thread at
http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2012/070471.html) but got
sidetracked on another issue before finding a resolution.
Now I'm back to the Missing Number error, and I have a short example
that reproduces it:
In response to Hans Hagen and Wolfgang Schuster's messages of Dec. 5,
Just to let you know, in response to your messages, I am working a
small, self-contained example that reproduces the problem.
However I have been asked to focus on a different project for a few
days, so ... please don't
Hi all,
I'm working with some code that was developed by someone else.
The document I'm typesetting is now giving the following error:

Hello,
We have a situation where hyphenation is an issue, due to a 2-column
layout where the columns are not very wide. We've done a lot of tweaking
of settings for hyphenation and interword spacing, and the result seems
pretty good. In particular, there are not many cases of consecutive
lines

But the hyphenation is by nature somewhat volatile, so whenever we
change something we would like to be able to easily recheck the

And our book is over 1200 pages, so it would be very helpful to have

Thanks, everybody, for the discussion on running TeX distributed / in

We've been using TeX to typeset a 1200-page book, and at that size, the
time it takes to run becomes a big issue (especially with multiple

most of them are the same so reusing them made sense
But the run time was already quite long before we started using those.
