The basic layout is not that difficult (ok, I must learn a bit of MetaPost to draw some boxes), but it's a very flexible design: It has a grid of 5 "layout columns" of which I use two-by-two or only-three together on a page, depending how the article fits. The "unused" columns I use for marginals, notes, little pictures etc. But pictures may use one of a triple column and the single beneath. Ehm, can you imagine? (all are right pages) grid: two-column: triple-column: ____________ ____________ ____________ | | | | | | | # # # # # | | ### ### # | | # ##### # | | # # # # # | | ### ### # | | # ##### # | | # # # # # | | ### ### # | | # ##### # | | # # # # # | | ### ### # | | # ##### # | | # # # # # | | ### ### # | | # ##### # | | # # # # # | | ### ### # | | # ##### # | | # # # # # | | ### ### # | | # ##### # | ------------ ------------ ------------ Titles go over ####### ##### (plus margin for short texts) Pictures use ### # ### # or ####### ##### or ##### or full width or even to the edge (with bleed). All text is in grid and raggedbottom. All pictures are in grid (sit on line and end at x-height). It's a rather visual thing, but I think it's doable with ConTeXt. But not quick and at the moment.
