[NTG-context] Re: Visually balanced columns

Hi list,
I'd like to know if its is possible to get visually balanced
mixedcolumns in lmtx. For example, if I have \blank's between
paragraphs, I would like them to be stretched or expanded by
a such way that the bottommost lines have the same vertical
position -- no matter, how many lines there are in each column and how
exactly they are aligned.
If I understand correctly, that's how the multicols environment in
LaTeX works, and that's how old-multicolumns worked -- but this module
seems to be no longer supported in lmtx.
I tried to disable gridfitting for startcolumns, but it produces a
completely distorted output.
The pagecolumns environment supports bottom aligned content.

It turns out that the extra whitespace before and after the section
headers in the body appears when I put \startcolumns[n=2] before the
body text and \stopcolumns after it. Here's the MWE, just slightly
modified from your example:
begin example
[...]
end example
The old columns environment was replaced a while ago with the newer
(although available since a few years) mixedcolumns environment.
A big difference between the old columns code and new code is that the
new code relies on a page grid which can lead to extra lines in the
output, because ConTeXt adds extra space to put text on the grid.
When you don't care about the grid you can disable it for the columns
environment but this has to be done also for headers which have their
own grid option.
Another option is to try the pagecolumns environment, which is another
environment for multi columns text but it's a very recent addition and
lacks some features like column balancing.
begin columns
\setuphead
[chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection]

The columns environment uses now the newer mixedcolumns mechanism which

To use the older columns mechanism add \usemodule[old-multicolumns] to

Re: [NTG-context] rulecolor in columns

23. Februar 2018 um 14:38
I tried to add the example to the garden, but at least there it
doesn’t work:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns
As soon as I use \setupcolors, I get only a single column or the
example doesn’t compile at all. Strange.
The garden uses MkIV where \color expects a argument (i.e.
\color[]{}).
Below is a example how you can add a colored rule to \startcolumns but
the better solution
is to switch to MkIV and and use mixedcolumns environment which has a
option to change
the color of the rule between the columns.
\enableregime[utf-8]
\mainlanguage[fr]
\setupcolors[state=start]

[NTG-context] Issue with initial (new beta)
Dear all,
First of all, thanks for new beta. It fixes the initial feature (in previous
beta there were not typeset at all).
But while testing (a bit somewhat extreme example to push the limits) I came up
with some initial letter hanging in the footer (page 3). Not sure the issue is
linked with mixedcolumns but could not reproduce in plain vanilla environment.
Also I noticed that if the paragraph is too short the initial overwrites the
next paragraph(s) (to reproduce simply comment out the mixedcolumns).
MWE:
\starttext
\startmixedcolumns[balance=yes]
\dorecurse{10}{ \setupinitial[location=text, n=4] \placeinitial \input{ward}
\setupinitial[location=text, n=6] \placeinitial \input{knuth} }
\stopmixedcolumns
\stoptext
Admitedly this example has lots of lettrines. I added some \testcolumn to fix
that, but now some columns are not balanced (page 3)
\starttext
\startmixedcolumns[balance=yes]
\dorecurse{10}{ \setupinitial[location=text, n=4] \testcolumn[4]
\placeinitial \input{ward} \setupinitial[location=text, n=6] \testcolumn[6]
\placeinitial \input{knuth} }
\stopmixedcolumns
\stoptext
I was wondering if there were any settings to try more “aggressive” balancing
(in the example here it might be difficult). or an alternative way to let the
initial not hang into the footer that might be more “balanced” friendly.
Many thanks for any hint,
Best regards

[NTG-context] Best way to prevent wrong column/page break with par starting with \starthanging
Dear all,
I am using \starthanging to implement dropcaps (with small pdf files). I use
this Inside mixedcolumns (2 columns).
I’d like to know if there is a better way than \testcolumn[N], N being the
number of lines of the dropcap, to prevent the location of dropcap being cut
between end of column/page and beginning of next. Tried \keeplinestogether{N}
instead but it does not work in all cases.
That question was mainly to see if there were any possibility to avoid some
blank lines at end of some columns (ie not balanced in given page).
Thanks a lot
Best regards

[NTG-context] Another issue with EBGaramond / firstline / mixedcolumns
Dear all, Trying to use EB Garamond font Inside mixed columns + use firstline feature (to make it larger) I get an empty line in output between first line and the rest of paragraph. If I comment the line containing \setupbodyfont and use default font the problem disappears (even with larger \tfa ratios well above 2). The problem seems only to happen when first line contains letters with space hanging below line base (like g or p for example). As well using columnset does not show the problem and using grid=verytolerant as well. Attached MWE + output.

Ok. It looks like the second parameter to \testcolumn is now required
(it didn't used to be).
What does this slack value do? Does it mean that the minimum amount of
space left in the column is 10 lines minus 1pt?
Also, in the Dec. 2 beta (current version: 2013.12.02 15:22), the
\column command now causes an error when we come to the \stopmixedcolumns.
I don't know if it's connected with the above change, or something else.

Thanks again for your work on this.
We're continually reevaluating whether we can use the beta or need to
stick with the stable version. At the moment, it looks like we'll be
sticking with the stable version. But we'd like to use the beta, if the
problems can be ironed out.

Ok. It looks like the second parameter to \testcolumn is now required
(it didn't used to be).
i'll fix that
What does this slack value do? Does it mean that the minimum amount of
space left in the column is 10 lines minus 1pt?
indeed
Also, in the Dec. 2 beta (current version: 2013.12.02 15:22), the
\column command now causes an error when we come to the \stopmixedcolumns.
I don't know if it's connected with the above change, or something else.
no, more to making section breaks working better in columns (i forgot to
rename a variable)
MWE: change the \testcolumn command above to \column.

Hello,
On this list I've been advised that mixedcolumns is the latest and
greatest implementation of columns; the one to use. We have switched
over from columnsets to mixedcolumns, and have been very pleased with
the column balancing (for some reason we couldn't get column balancing
to work in columnsets).
However one thing we do miss from columnsets is the control over widows
orphans in two ways: \testcolumn, and \setupcolumnsetlines.
\testcolumn[n] allowed us to do a conditional column break, so when we
were about to start a new subsection heading, we could prevent it being
an orphan at the bottom of the column; and when starting a paragraph
with a hangaround graphic framed flushright and bottom, we could
similarly use \testcolumn to prevent the graphic from hanging down into
the footer (which is what sometimes happened otherwise).
So I'm wondering, is there some way to achieve the equivalent of
\testcolumn in mixedcolumns?
Is it theoretically impossible to implement this in mixedcolumns because
the required information (how many lines are left in the current column)
is not yet known?
Or could that information be gleaned from somewhere?
I see in page-brk.mkiv the following definition for \testcolumn:
\def\testcolumn
{\dodoubleempty\page_tests_columns_test}
\def\page_tests_columns_test[#1][#2]%
{\endgraf
\ifdim\pagegoal\maxdimen
\ifdim\pagetotal\pagegoal

\getrawnoflines\d_page_tests_test % (raw)
\ifnum#1\noflines
\column
\fi
\else
\penalty-\plustenthousand % (untested)
\fi
\fi}
I'm not a low-level TeX programmer, and I don't understand a lot of
this, but it looks like
\getrawnoflines\d_page_tests_test
puts the number of remaining lines into \noflines
Any suggestions are appreciated.
(And I should have a MWE soon.)

[NTG-context] bug in beta: \tab results in text overlap

Hans, I tried the beta of 2013.11.26, and as mentioned in a previous
email, it fixes the \getmarking problem pretty well. However the same
beta has a fatal problem for us: lists using \tab are now broken.
MWE:
\starttext
\tab{AC}Autonomous Community\par
\tab{\it alt.}alternate name for\par
\stoptext
In the TeX Live 2013 version of mkiv, this gives us a nice table with
the headword separated from the definition.
In the beta, the headword and the definition start at the same
horizontal position, and overlap each other.
We use these lists in the context of mixedcolumns, but the overlap
behavior occurs regardless of mixedcolumns.
Any help would be appreciated. If we can't fix or work around this
problem, we may have to abandon the beta and go back to TeX Live 2013,
which means our page header guide words would be incorrect.

Well, it's probably not quite that fatal for our project, because it
looks like the \definedescription mechanism can be used to replace \tab,
and does not suffer from the same problem in the beta.
Nevertheless I thought someone would like to know that \tab has stopped
working, so it can be fixed (or documented as obsolete, in favor of
\definedescription).

\startmixedcolumns[distance=5mm, balance=yes]
\dorecurse {25} {
\subsection{Subsection Heading}
\penalty1

hundreds of improvements would never have been made, because I would
never have thought of them or perceived their importance. \endgraf
}
\stopmixedcolumns
\stoptext
As you see, I tried \penalty1 after the subsection heading.
But in the resulting PDF, on page 3, in the left column, we see a
subsection heading at the bottom of the column with nothing below it. So
something didn't work.
Am I not doing it the way you meant?

The problem, is/was that mixed columns had not yet mark
synchronization enabled. I uploaded a new beta.
When I use the new beta (using 2013.11.26), marking works better, with
the following caveats:
1) The column number argument is required; using
\getmarking[country][top] instead of \getmarking[country][1][top] still
returns the wrong value. This is not a problem for us, but it's
important to know, because if you leave out the column number argument,
there is no error given, and AFAIR the documentation doesn't tell you
it's required.
2) Sometimes \getmark[country][n][bottom] returns the country at the top
of column n+1 (or column 1 on the next page). In your example above,
\getmarking[country][1][bottom] shows Peru, which is in column 2,
instead of Brazil. This can be a significant problem for us, unless we
can find a way to fix it.
Did you get a different result?
In the process I also made marks a bit more restrictive but it might
have (yet unknown) side effects.
\enabledirectives[marks.boxestoo]
can be used to see the effect of this.
I tried this with your example above, but didn't see anything change.
Are we supposed to see some colored boxes around the marks?

You can see that the heading for subsection 6 is an orphan at the bottom
of a column (at least, with the paper size settings I have; otherwise,
I'm sure it happens somewhere else). If \testcolumn worked, the
\testcolumn[8] would have shoved the subsection heading to the next
column, because there was not space for 8 lines left in the column at
that point.
Any thoughts on how to fix this kind of occurrence?

Also, if number is -10,000 or less, it will always break a line or a page there [97 and 110]. ... Plain TeX has \break and \nobreak macros which are defined to be: \penalty-1 and \penalty1. So it sounds like you're recommending the equivalent of a \nobreak. That wouldn't make sense in the place where we want to conditionally break the column. So I guess you're talking about using it e.g. right after the subsection heading, since we don't want it to break right there? If so, that sounds like it will be helpful for preventing that particular case. I don't think it will work for preventing external figures from hanging down below the bottom of the column though, will it? Because for that to work, we'd have to prevent breaks anywhere in the flowing-around paragraph. And I don't see a way to do that.

old tex terminology ... in mkiv i don't use the build-in-tex marks at
all (too much juggling needed to get things right)
So I'm wondering ... Hans, since the descriptions you posted are old tex
terminology, what do previous/next/top/bottom/first/last/etc. mean in
current terminology?
I agree with Marco that the descriptions in the ref manual are much
easier to understand, but appear to be wrong; and do not include top/bottom.
I'll be happy to update the ref manual and the wiki if I can get clear
and accurate information.
We have run many examples here, including the ones on the getmarking
wiki page, trying to understand what these keywords mean.
top/bottom do appear to do what we need in an MWE, but are not working
for us in the real document, and knowing the meaning of these keywords
would be very helpful in troubleshooting the problem.
Thanks,
Lars
I now have a MWE that shows the problem.
Where top and bottom work fine outside of columns, in mixedcolumns, any
keyword I use with \getmarking always seem to return the *last* item on
the page. Here's the MWE:
\definemarking[country]
%\startsetups myheader
%F1: \getmarking[country][1][first] - L2: \getmarking[country][2][last]
%\hfill
%T1: \getmarking[country][1][top] - B2: \getmarking[country][2][bottom]
%\stopsetups
\startsetups myheader
F: \getmarking[country][first] - L: \getmarking[country][last]
\hfill
T: \getmarking[country][top] - B: \getmarking[country][bottom]
\stopsetups
\setupheadertexts[\setups{myheader}][][][\setups{myheader}]
\def\anothersection#1{
\marking[country]{#1}
{\bfb #1 \endgraf}
\dorecurse{1}{\input knuth \endgraf}
\marking[country]{#1}
}
\starttext
\startmixedcolumns[distance=5mm, balance=yes]
\anothersection{Brazil}
\anothersection{Suriname}
\anothersection{Uruguay}
\anothersection{Bolivia}
\anothersection{Venezuela}
\anothersection{Peru}
\stopmixedcolumns
\stoptext
When you run the MWE, you see that all the fields in the page header
show the same value: whatever country appears last on the page. (Or
even, depending on how you tweak the length of the country text, if the
next page starts with a new country, you'll get that new country for the
old page.)
I also tried using column numbers, in imitation of the columnsets
example on the wiki at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/getmarking
\startsetups myheader
F1: \getmarking[country][1][first] - L2: \getmarking[country][2][last]
\hfill
T1: \getmarking[country][1][top] - B2: \getmarking[country][2][bottom]
\stopsetups
But this didn't appear to make any difference. Maybe it works for
columnsets but not for mixedcolumns. Does anyone know how to get correct
results for \getmarking in mixedcolumns?

Lars

[NTG-context] a way to implement \testcolumn in mixedcolumns
Hello,
On this list I've been advised that mixedcolumns is the latest and
greatest implementation of columns; the one to use. We have switched
over from columnsets to mixedcolumns, and have been very pleased with
the column balancing (for some reason we couldn't get column balancing
to work in columnsets).
However one thing we do miss from columnsets is the control over widows
orphans in two ways: \testcolumn, and \setupcolumnsetlines.
\testcolumn[n] allowed us to do a conditional column break, so when we
were about to start a new subsection heading, we could prevent it being
an orphan at the bottom of the column; and when starting a paragraph
with a hangaround graphic framed flushright and bottom, we could
similarly use \testcolumn to prevent the graphic from hanging down into
the footer (which is what sometimes happened otherwise).
So I'm wondering, is there some way to achieve the equivalent of
\testcolumn in mixedcolumns?
Is it theoretically impossible to implement this in mixedcolumns because
the required information (how many lines are left in the current column)
is not yet known?
Or could that information be gleaned from somewhere?
I see in page-brk.mkiv the following definition for \testcolumn:
\def\testcolumn
{\dodoubleempty\page_tests_columns_test}
\def\page_tests_columns_test[#1][#2]%
{\endgraf
\ifdim\pagegoal\maxdimen
\ifdim\pagetotal\pagegoal
\d_page_tests_test\dimexpr
\pagegoal
-\pagetotal
\ifdim\lastskip\parskip+\parskip\fi
\ifsecondargument+#2\fi
\relax
\getrawnoflines\d_page_tests_test % (raw)
\ifnum#1\noflines
\column
\fi
\else
\penalty-\plustenthousand % (untested)
\fi
\fi}
I'm not a low-level TeX programmer, and I don't understand a lot of
this, but it looks like
\getrawnoflines\d_page_tests_test
puts the number of remaining lines into \noflines
Any suggestions are appreciated.
(And I should have a MWE soon.)
Lars

\dorecurse {20} {
\testcolumn[8]
\subsection{Subsection Heading} \input knuth \endgraf
}
\stopmixedcolumns
\stoptext
You can see that the heading for subsection 6 is an orphan at the bottom
of a column (at least, with the paper size settings I have; otherwise,
I'm sure it happens somewhere else). If \testcolumn worked, the
\testcolumn[8] would have shoved the subsection heading to the next
column, because there was not space for 8 lines left in the column at
that point.
Any thoughts on how to fix this kind of occurrence?
Thanks,
Lars

Re: [NTG-context] bad column break

IMO, ConTeXt should start a new column *before* the section title,
not *after* it:

Yes, ofcourse. But what steps I have to do for that. I'm running context
minimals (I don't know if stable or beta).
Thanks,

Now I have the beta context version. Now I want to use in my example
mixedcolumns. But nothing in the wiki is present of how to work
mixedcolumns.

You mean something like this?
Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.
I mean something like that, but I have problems when adding such an xtable:
\startxtable[option={stretch,width},frame=off,split=yes]
\dorecurse{100}{ \startxrow
\startxcell right \stopxcell
\startxcell left \stopxcell
\stopxrow}
\stopxtable
The xtable itself won't be aligned when I set split=yes and won't be
split in pages.
The makeup environment creates a page sized box which doesn’t allow material
which is split over many pages.
When you have such a large table you have to use a different implementation but
maybe it’s better to look
if you can reduce the size of the table and or to use multiple columns (the new
mixedcolumns environment
can be also used in a box).
BTW, how can I make that the first column are aligned to the right?
\setupxtable[xcell][1][align=right] doesn't seem to work.
Xtables don’t provide the same method as natural tables to set value for
individual rows or columns,
you have to apply the setting to each cell or cell group (can be a direct
setting via key-val or a named setting).
