Re: [NTG-context] Page breaks with \defineparagraphs possible?

[Berend de Boer via ntg-context]

Hi Wolfgang,


\definetabulate[bilingual][|pA{normal,verytolerant,stretch}|pA{normal,verytolerant,stretch}|]


One more on this actually: how can I influence the white space between
the columns? I tried to set distance, but that didn't do anything.

Setting p(4cm) or so, made the paragraphs smaller, but did not impact
the white space between the columns.

Hi Wolfgang,


You can use the tabulate environment to create parallel paragraphs.


Just one thing for others, this solution as the same problem as
paragraphs: \placeinitial won't work.

I.e. this:

   \setupinitial[text=#1]\placeinitial

inside the tabulate or paragraphs doesn't work (but here I simply use
a \hbox{\vbox{}\hfil\vbox{}} solution which works well enough I think,
as I only need this for the opening paragraph.

Hi Wolfgang,

Ah yes, that's working! Thank you so much!

One question on the pA{normal,verytolerant,stretch}: what does that do exactly?


From the manual I got that A only takes one key, what does specifying three 
keys mean?

Dear all,

I've noticed that \defineparagraphs does not break across pages. That

Initially I just had a \hbox{\vtop{#1}\hfil\vtop{#2}} but obviously
that doesn't break, so went for more ConTeXt style, but couldn't see a
good mechanism.

Thank you Wolfgang. I had to change .5\localhsize to .5\textwidth for 
it to work here (and scale down the cow to make it fit in the barn.)


I am looking into combinations to center the graphic in the second x 
box, and make a \setupcombination[mycombination] similar to 
\defineparagraph[Mypar] to reduce typing.

\definecombination[john][nx=2,ny=1,width=.5\textwidth]

\startcombination[john]
{...}{}
{...}{}
\stopcombination

\tbox is new to me. Is that a ConTeXt macro of TEX \vtop{\hbox}?
The command changes the vertical position of the content (by putting it 
into an \hbox and changing the height/depth values).


\setupblackrules[width=2cm,height=2cm]

\setuplayout[grid=yes]\showgrid

\starttext
XXX  {\blackrule}

yes, i should have been clearer :)

as the style is always the same and i am lazy, i want to save myself
the typing of \startlines and \stoplines for the second column :)

so there is no way i could set up the 2nd paragraph like that?
maybe a macro or something?

Understandable ;-)

Some extra magic is needed (newlines are rather special). The
following bit of code seems to work on a simple case,
but i give no guarantees:

%
\defineparagraphs
   [Poem][n=2]
\setupparagraphs
   [Poem][1][width=.4\textwidth]

\def\startpoem#1\poem
   {\def\poemtitle{#1}\begingroup\obeylines\domypoem}
