I can only agree with this, token lists are the easiest

context.tobuffer function which allows one to add
content to a buffer.
Wolfgang
Aditya, Wolfgang, thanks for your replies. I didn't want
to bore the list with lengthy explanations, but maybe I
didn't give enough information. So here comes what I hope
are the relevant bits: I'm typesetting sheets with
problems and solutions for a class. Those come from an xml
database. Unfortunately, there is one catch: depending on
the type of the problem, some problems don't have an
explicit solution. The problems are typeset as a numbered
itemization on page 1; on page 2, I want the solutions,
with matching numbers. And since I'm lazy, I don't want to
take care of this myself but have context do it for me. So
let's begin with the output. I want:
PROBLEMS
1. problem without solution
2. problem with solution
3. problem without solution
4. problem with solution
and then, on a new page:
SOLUTIONS
2. solution to 2
4. solution to 4
So: I have been trying to write a macro that will retrieve
problems from the database (successful, with help by
Hans), pack them in an itemize list (successful), and
store the solution somewhere so it can be typeset on the
next page (unsuccessful as yet). I thought buffers were
the natural way to go, but I must admit I didn't know
about tokenlists. Aditya's suggestion unfortunately
doesn't seem to work with itemizations. Test files:
This works:
\newtoks\mytoks
\def\TestMacro#1#2#3%
{\color[darkred]{#1} \color[darkblue]{#2}\endgraf
\appendtoks \color[darkgreen]{#3} \to\mytoks}
\starttext
\TestMacro{A}{B}{C}
\TestMacro{X}{Y}{Z}
\hairline
\the\mytoks
and this doesn't:
\newtoks\mytoks
\def\TestMacro#1#2#3%
{\item[#1] #2\par
\appendtoks \in[#1]: {#3} \to\mytoks}
\starttext
\startitemize[n]
\TestMacro{A}{B}{C}
\TestMacro{X}{Y}{Z}
\stopitemize
\hairline
\the\mytoks
I have absolutely no preference for buffers or
itemizations or whatever, so if there's a better solution,
I'm all open. But for the time being, I don't get what I
want. I'll look into context.tobuffer next...
Thanks for any suggestions, and best wishes
Thomas

[NTG-context] startcolumns: text runs into footer
Hi at all,
now I've run into the next problem: Trying to set text in 2 columns.
Even in the simples case:
\showframe
\starttext
\startcolumns
\dorecurse{20}{\input knuth}
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
The text goes ca 1 line into the footer-region. I played around with
various settings (blank, align=yes, setupwhitespace etc), but can not
figure out
how to keep the text in the main area only.
Another related question: for which purpose is the columns setting in
setuplayout? It doesnt seem to affect the output?
And still another question: how can i fine-control the amount of
whitespace, especially the strechability and shrinkability?
is \setupwhitespace[2pt plus 2pt minus 2pt] the right way? And how is
the equivalent syntax for \blank?
Thanks,
Achim

Hooray, not it works!!! Thanks a lot, everyone, thanks
Peter - so easy, yet my knowledge of TeX wasn't advanced
enough to see this. Is it because I'm inside a group and
TeX empties the tokenlist once I get out of the group?

[NTG-context] Minimal spacing between sentences
Hi, how can I increase the minimal spacing between sentences? \setfrenchspacing
seems to work only in a justified line:
\starttext
\setfrenchspacing{15000}
This is a short sentence. It is not followed by a big space.
Here are some justified lines which have big spaces:
\input tufte
\stoptext

(1) Columnsets cause less trouble than the ordinary
“\[start|stop]columns”; (2) you have to define the vskips prior
to using them with “\setupwhitespace” or “\blank”.
···8
\showframe
\definecolumnset[two][n=2]
\newskip\Hugeskip
\Hugeskip = 4em plus 4em minus 4em
\definevspacingamount[Huge][\Hugeskip][\Hugeskip] % for \blank
\definewhitespacemethod[Notsohuge]{\ctxparskip.5\Hugeskip} % for
\setupwhitespace
\starttext
\startcolumnset[two]
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth \blank[Huge]}
\setupwhitespace[Notsohuge]
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth}
\stopcolumnset
