I was setting up a test for my students, consisting of one page (A4
landscape), three columns. Each column consisted of a question, below which
there was an empty frame in which to write the answer. The layout then was
something like
--
\startcolumns[n=3]
\startitemize[n]
\item First question
\framed[height=10cm width=\textwidth]{}
\column
\item Second question
\framed[height=10cm width=\textwidth]{}
\column
\item Third question
\framed[height=10cm width=\textwidth]{}
\stopitemize
\stopcolumns
--
All well and good - except! the second "\column" command pushed the third
column onto a second page. However without that "\column", no matter what
parameters I gave the page layout, the third question text would appear at
the bottom of the second column. I ended up getting around this by putting
a "\vskip3cm" in place of the second "\column". This worked, but seems like
an ugly workaround.
What's going on here - and what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Alasdair
