Hi all, I am happy to share one way to get "pull quotes between two columns" (in a three columns layout).
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/images/5/50/context_3columns_layout.pdf It's not based on Columns / ColumnSet / Page Columns. It just combines \startuseMPgraphic + build_parshape + \framed + \getshapetext (and several precautions regarding offsets, thicknesses, spacings, dimensions, box positioning...)It's not used in this case, but I discovered that \placelocalfootnotes and \reference \at \in etc... are fully functional with \getshapetext
:-) The resulting layout isn't as complex as a newspaper, but a lot can be done (at the cost of some investment, but really, it's not that hard). LuaMetaTeX is definitely fun and pretty. Thanks devs and community. =====> One question <=====Would it be possible to define several shapetex like \startshapetex[NAME1], \startshapetex[NAME2], in order to alternate the use of \getshapetext[NAME1] and \getshapetext[NAME2]
because currently only one can be active at a time ? Garulfo 2 years ago... Le 13/03/2022 à 22:13, Garulfo a écrit :
Hi all, what would be the prefered way to typeset pull quotes (with \startcolumns or even \startcolumnset if needed) between 2 columns. Examples: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/45709/how-do-you-create-pull-quotes https://www.societal.fr/sites/societal/files/old_site/societal-46-6-boiteux-reperesettendances.pdf#page=2 Thanks for your ideas and solutions.
