Ah, thank you!
But even if I put the commands before \startcolumnset, the "AdSpace" appears on
the second page. While this was the intention of the example, it seems like I
can’t control on which page my ads/images appear.
In my actual project, all the defined columnsetareas show up on the second page
(where the first columnset starts), even though all have state=stop, and never
show up again where I set state=start.
I wanted to use it like
\define[2]\Anzeige{%
\setupcolumnsetareatext[ad#1][{\externalfigure[#2][width=\overlaywidth]}]
\setupcolumnsetarea[ad#1][state=start]
}
I also tried to just reserve the space with columnsetareas and place the ads
with \setlayer; that would work if I could control the placement of the areas...
Since I must complete this project within this week, I already started from
scratch in my layout program (switched from my old InDesign to Affinity
Publisher – much cheaper but even less fun). Seems like I overestimated
ConTeXt’s (and my) readiness for this kind of layout. A pity.
Greetlings, Hraban
