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

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

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
would be a huge page saver in my case. Do I have any options for page
breaking across a set of parallel paragraphs?
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.

\stopbilingual
