Hello Aditya,
thanks for all your answers.
You were right - my minimalist sample was not very suitable, and my real
sample can be successfuly handled with \startnarrower.
Thanks again for your time.
Best regards,
Lukas

Hello,
at least a short reaction would be appreciated - is it possible to get
the desired with ConTeXt?
- I need to typeset a column-shaped document with a colofon in the
bottom of the page, so my interest is not academical but very
practical;
and the code presented bellow is a minimalistic version ("abcd" stands
for colofon).
Best regards,
Lukas

Hello,
suppose the minimal example:
----
\showboxes
\starttext
\startcolumns[n=2,balance=no,]
\input knuth
\stopcolumns
\vfill
abcd
\stoptext
----
This produces two page document with columns on the first page and
text "abcd" on the second.
It is not clear to me why you are using columns here. If you want
balanced columns, you could use:
\starttext
\startsimplecolumns[n=2]
\input knuth
\stopsimplecolumns
\vfill
abcd
\stoptext
But - I want the text "abcd" to be placed to the bottom of the same
page as columns are (thus I attempted to put \vfill into the code,
but
it doesn't work), so to get one page document looking like:
+------ page width -----+
Column text | (unused)
column text |
column text |
column text |
column text |
column text |
(some vertical space)
abcd
+----- end of page -----+
- How to achieve this?
If you just want a narrower one column output (since using balance=no
and \vfill after that only makes sense if the length of the content is
less than a single column), you can use
\setupnarrower[right=0.5\textwidth]
\startnarrower[right]
\input knuth
\stopnarrower
or to get right frame:
\startframedtext[width=0.45\textwidth,frame=off, rightframe=on,
roffset=0.5em]
\input knuth
\stopframedtext
