I'm not sure why there is no key / value interface ... probably because

[NTG-context] columns yet again

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi all,

I hope everybody made it back home safely after the meeting. It was 
great listening in, even if I couldn't be there in person, unfortunately!


Today's question is an old one, but I'm confused. What I need: two 
columns, of unequal width, the left column has line numbering; two 
column layout starts in the middle of pages. What I tried so far:


1. \defineparagraphs  allows to have two paragraphs of unequal width, 
but the line numbering isn't visible:


\setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4,landscape]

\setuplayout[grid=yes]

\definelinenumbering
   [original]

[step=2,location=text,align=flushright,distance=0.4cm,style=small,color=magenta]

\defineparagraphs [Half] [n=2]
\setupparagraphs [Half] [before=,after=,align=verytolerant]

\setupparagraphs [Half]
 [1]
 [width=0.45\textwidth]

\starttext

\startlinenumbering [original] [start=4]
Poetry

One

Word

Per

Line

is

Poetic

\stoplinenumbering

\nextHalf

Prose translation

\stopHalf

\stoptext

2. columnsets:\usemodule[old-columnsets]: unequal width, but no line 
numbering:


\usemodule [old-columnsets]

\setuppapersize [A4,landscape][A4,landscape]

\setuplayout [grid=yes]

\definecolumnset [numbered] [n=2]
\setupcolumnset [numbered] [distance=0.5cm,frame=on]
\setupcolumnset [numbered:1] [width=4cm]
\setupcolumnset [numbered:2] [width=10cm]

\starttext

\startcolumnset [numbered]

\startlinenumbering[step=1,location=left]
Poetry

One

Word

Per

Line

is

Poetic\par % needed, otherwise last line is not indented correctly
\stoplinenumbering

\column

Two
\stopcolumnset

\stoptext

3. Same example without the first line: line numbers, but width is 
ignored; both columns are of width 0.5\textwidth.


4. page columns: always start at new page.

5. \startcolumns: like 3.; equal width.

In addition, for reasons that are completely unclear to me, the example 
from the columnsets manual (p. 32) does not compile:


\setuppapersize[A4,landscape][A4,landscape]

\setuplayout[grid=yes]

\showframe
\definecolumnset[example][n=3,page=left]
\setupbackgrounds[text][text][background=contrast]
\setupcolumnset[frame=on,framecolor=color-4,rulethickness=1mm]
\definecolor[fakerulecolor][white]
\setupcolumnset[example:1][width=2cm]
\setupcolumnset[example:2][width=4cm]
\setupcolumnset[example:3][width=3cm]
\setupcolumnset[example:4][width=3cm]
\setupcolumnset[example:5][width=4cm]
\setupcolumnset[example:6][width=6cm]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[example]
\dorecurse{5}{
\dorecurse{3}{\fakewords{10}{15}\par}
\column[yes]
}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext

ends in "tex error   > tex error on line 23 in file /tmp/test.tex: ! 
Undefined control sequence


So I'm a bit confused: what I should use? What is the current status of 
the diverse columns environments?


Have a nice Sunday!

Yes and no.

Simplecolumns are as the name implies a few very simple mechanism and 
don't support vertical lines between the columns.


The normal columns environment uses the mixedcolumns code where you have 
to use "separator=rule" to get a vertical line between columns.

Re: [NTG-context] columns and footnotes

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

just a remark:

\startlinecorrection
\stoplinecorrection

is meant for stuff like

\startlinecorrection
\framed{}
\stoplinecorrection

\startlinecorrection
\externalfigure[...]
\stoplinecorrection

\startlinecorrection
\startMPcode
...
\stopMPcode
\stoplinecorrection

in the main text flow, i.e. boxed material with some visual boundary, 
which then gets boxed again with some heuristic before/after spacing and 
therefore it will not work well when hooked into before/after for heads 
and such that do their own spacing ... it's simply not meant for that 
(and its behaviour will not change)

Hi again,
I’m testing columns again, and before I publish an article on the subject, I’d 
like to check with you.

Find attached my testing environment, env_test.tex, and columns.tex, a 
"product", as well as the result of compiling with —mode=oldcolumns,grid and 
—mode=grid

The "oldcolumns" example shows the result of \usemodule[old-columns] and looks 
like it should. The new columns code still has errors:

Previously it wasn’t possible to start (new) columns mid-page, i.e. after an 
image or chapter/intro like in the example.
This works now (progress!), but the pre-columns stuff is still shifted to the 
right. (And I don’t know where the yellow box comes from.)

Additionally, footnotes in old-columns use the whole width and don’t interfere 
with the text columns, while in new columns, footnotes start in their column 
but use the whole width anyway and thus interfere with the main text.
I tried \setupnotes[footnote][location=columns] (and other options) but saw no 
change.

Many more options to check…
yes but best check them indepedently (i have to turn these into small 
simple examples only settigm things that matter)


anyway, the shift at the top is a side effect of tracing options enabled:

\gdef\page_grids_add_to_mix_indeed#1%
  {\begingroup
   \resetvisualizers
   \global\setbox#1\vpack{\noindent\backgroundline[layout:mix]{\box#1}}%
   \endgroup}

needs an \noindent (or maybe a forgetall elsewhere but that is more 
drastic)

Please try it and report back, i.e. document it in the wiki. Someone has to do 
it…

I only ever used plain \column.

Maybe the source helps further:

Sorry, the wiki is very outdated and confusing in this regard.
I’m planning to research and document columns better (my talk in Bassenge 
covered only a few aspects of old/new columns and columnsets), but have a lot 
of other things at hand…

If your ConTeXt installation is quite recent, you have 
texmf-context/doc/context/documents/general/manuals/pagecolumns.pdf
This is quite new and I don’t know how usable.

\definecolumnset[example][n=3,balancing=no]
\definecolumnsetspan[wide][n=2,background=contrast]

\setupexternalfigures[location=default]

\setuphead[subsubsubsubsubject][style=bold]

\starttext
  \startcolumnset[example]
\startcolumnsetspan[wide]
  \externalfigure[hacker][width=95mm]
\stopcolumnsetspan

\dorecurse{2}{
  \subsubsubsubsubject{Sub}
  \input ward
}

\column
\column

\darkred
  \starttabulate[|rB|lp|]
\NC a
  \NC
AA
\NC\NR
\NC aa
  \NC
AAA
\NC\NR
  \stoptabulate
  \stopcolumnset
\stoptext


produces overlapping lines at the end of the first column.
- How to avoid this?

- Being in a columnset environment, is there a way to tell context "go to third 
column" (regardless in which column I am currently typing)?

- Altough I found some wiki material about column sets (e.g. 
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupcolumnsetstart or columns.pdf), I found 
nothing about "page columns" - can you give me a link?

- All wiki examples use "1" at the place of "nesting level":

"
\setupcolumnsetstart[...][...][...][...]
[...]   columnset name
[...]   nesting level
[...]   number of individual column in columnset
[...]   starting line (1 = start at the top)

...

\setupcolumnsetstart[three][1][1][15]
^
| -- HERE
"

Is there a sample which would use an other number? - I'm asking as I guess my 
task has to do with nested column sets.

Best regards,

Lukas

When the text for each column will never go into another column
paragraphs or a table is another way to achieve this layout.

[NTG-context] Columns with non-equal width; nested columns

[Procházka Lukáš Ing .]

Hello,

I need to get columns like this:


| | 1b |
| 1a  ||
+-+|
|  2a  |  2b  ||
|  |  ||

I tried the following:


\starttext
  \startcolumns[n=2] % How to tell that ratio between columns should be 2:1?
\input knuth % Be 1a

\startcolumns[n=2]
  \input ward % Be 2a

  \column

  \input ward % Be 2b
\stopcolumns

\column

\input knuth % Be 1b
  \stopcolumns
\stoptext


- Is it possible to nest columns?
 - If not, is there another solution?

- How to specify ratio of widths of columns?

Best regards,

Lukas

Hi Henri,

I’m afraid that Floris is right. With latest beta and a simple
improvement to your file, I get wrong output:

 \starttext
 \startlines
Testing 1971-04-26
\startcolumns[n=3]
  \dorecurse{200}{+ 17271 \rightarrow\  2018-08-08
  }
\stopcolumns
 \stoplines
 \stoptext

If the closing parenthesis is on the same line, the plus sign is
misplaced in the last item.

With the previous sample, the second page gets a wrong interline space
(between the third and the fourth item from the first column).

quick hack:

\unprotect

\unexpanded\def\page_otr_synchronize_page_indeed
  {\ifx\currentoutputroutine\s!multicolumn\else\clf_synchronizepage\fi
   \glet\page_otr_synchronize_page\page_otr_synchronize_page_yes}

\protect

Actually I don't see it here because i have

\definemixedcolumns
  [\v!columns]
  [\c!balance=\v!yes,
   \c!blank={\v!line,\v!fixed}]

\unexpanded\def\setupcolumns
  {\setupmixedcolumns[\v!columns]}

in a local test file (already for years so maybe it's time time to make 
that default)


(btw, pagecolumns are an other alternative)

I took only a brief look at Henris example where I saw only the wrong 
alignment
before \stopcolumns. What you can do to fix the vertical alignment 
without enabling

the grid is to add \strut at the begin of each line.

\starttext

On the second page, interline space between the third and fourth lines
from the first column is wrong.


I saw only the wrong alignment of the last text line before \stopcolumns 
which can be fixed with \par.



The only way to fix it seems to enable grid composition. I don’t know
whether this might be a bug in ConTeXt.


Adding \strut at the begin of each text line does also fix the spacing.

Please don’t top post.

While I requested this feature several years ago, I never used it so far.
Please read the manual and try yourself.

You should refer to the manual that Hraban gave as a link.

Hi José Luis,

there is a sample on page 32 (from the document [or 34, from the PDF
viewer]): http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/columns.pdf#page=34.

Sorry, but my current PDF viewer doesn’t seem to copy from PDF.

Just in case it helps,

Pablo

\startitemize[columns,three]

seems to give three columns.

[NTG-context] Columns and itemize not showing up as expected

[Norbert Melzer]

The MWE at the end of this mail typesets something like this:

* a  * e
* b  * f
* c
* d

But I'd expect something like this:

* a  * d
* b  * e
* c  * f

How can I get expected output?

```tex
\starttext
  \startcolumns[n=2]
\startitemize
  \item a
  \item b
  \item c
  \item d
  \item e
  \item f
\stopitemize
  \stopcolumns
\stoptext
```

Sorry for bumping, but the bug is still there in the current Beta (2014.02.14 
17:07).

Or, is it not a bug, and I’m doing something wrong?
In that case any hint is appreciated.

[NTG-context] Columns and clubpenalty problem

[Thomas Floeren]

Hi,

with the recent Betas, and the Current, I have a problem with columns and 
clubpenalty. In the following minimal the long item (item 1) will introduce 
a column break (instead of a simple line break):

\def \defaultclubpenalty{\plustenthousand}

\starttext
\startitemize [columns]
\item This is just a long line and should stay in the left column. 
\dorecurse{10}{\item bla bla bla}
\stopitemize
\stoptext

Older ConTeXt versions work as expected (no column break in item 1), for 
example 
Beta 2013.11.13 12:28 or Current 2013.05.28 00:36.

The global settings for mixedcolumns are

\setupmixedcolumns
  [maxwidth=\makeupwidth]

which forces columns to use the width of the textblock but boxedcolumns uses 
this

\definemixedcolumns
  [boxedcolumns]
  [maxwidth=\availablehsize]

where the width of the columns depends on the available width of the

e.g. in a narrower environment or in a frame the you get shorter columns.

The global settings for mixedcolumns are

   \setupmixedcolumns
 [maxwidth=\makeupwidth]

which forces columns to use the width of the textblock but boxedcolumns uses 
this

   \definemixedcolumns
 [boxedcolumns]
 [maxwidth=\availablehsize]

where the width of the columns depends on the available width of the 
environment,

If I remember well, framedtext sets a localhsize for the width of its content. 
I guess that is why boxedcolumns stays within the width specified. But is there 
a specific reason why mixedcolumns in general does not?

Boxedcolumns are a instance of mixedcolumns and are defined as

   \definemixedcolumns[boxedcolumns]


You can also use them this way:

   \startmixedcolumns[boxedcolumns]
   …
   \stopmixedcolumns

Thanks, 

But I think mixedcolumns has to solve a problem width the width of the 
frametext. Whereas boxedcolumns honors the width of the enclosing framedtext, 
mixedcolumns does not. See the example.

% NOT OK WIDTH NOT RESPECTED
\startframedtext[width=.8\makeupwidth,align=verytolerant]
\startmixedcolumns[n=2,separator=rule,balance=yes]
\input tufte
\stopmixedcolumns
\stopframedtext
\blank
% OK
\startframedtext[width=.8\makeupwidth,align=verytolerant]
\startboxedcolumns[n=2,separator=rule,balance=yes]
\input tufte
\stopboxedcolumns
\stopframedtext

The new mixedcolumns environment can be used to the typeset columns in a frame.

There is also a predefined bolxedcolumns environment which changes the width of
the columns when you use it in \startframed etc.

\setupalign[verytolerant]

\starttext

\startboxedcolumns[separator=rule]
\input tufte
\stopboxedcolumns

\startframedtext[width=max,align=verytolerant]
\startboxedcolumns[separator=rule]
\input tufte
\stopboxedcolumns
\stopframedtext

[NTG-context] columns

I have some difficulties with columns inside a framedtext. The example below 
shows that columns does not work inside framedtext, whereas simplecolumns does. 
However, the latter does not show rules between the columns. Can I have both?

Is columns definitely not working here or is it temporarily until something is

Re: [NTG-context] columns vs. paragraphs, and a question about fillinrule

[Pavneet Arora]

Sorry, I should have been more clear about the intended output.

In the most common case, I simply wanted side by side output:  witnesses 
in the left column, and testator in the right column.  Rarely, is it 
expected to traverse a page.  The paragraph method does this; \paragraph 
goes to the top of the next column.  The columns method does not:  
\column, at least for this combination of input, does not go to the top 
of the next column, but rather pushes the subsequent input to the top of 
the next page, which is not the intention.

So, the paragraph method produces the expected "two-column layour" 
output while the columns method does not.

However, your tabulate method is perfect fine especially if one needs 
the output to cross page boundaries.

Any idea to make fillinrules behave like a list, i.e., with the indices 
hanging to the left of equal sized rules?

Thanks for your help.

[NTG-context] columns vs. paragraphs, and a question about fillinrule

[Pavneet Arora]

As part of this legal document set that I have been working to put 
together, I needed side-by-side text.  Looking at the wiki, I noticed 
that there are at least 3 methods:  columns, paragraphs, columnsets.

I only attempted two, but they seem to have quite different results.  I 
understood that columns were for simple cases.  However, in my MWE 
below, the \column command breaks the "columns" in unusual way.

One can also swap out the order of the paragraphs and columns methods; 
the results are similar.  Also, one can adjust the dorecurse command 
with additional lorems to see where the "columns" land on the page.  
Again results are similar.

Any suggestions?

Another question:  I am trying to have the numbers in the \fillinrule 
command to be hanging so that the rules are lined up.  Is this possible, 
and if so how best to do it?

advTHANKSance.

[NTG-context] columns behaviour

Is it normal that after \setupcolumns[balance=no] the dividing line is not 
fully drawn in the case where the column at the left is shorter than the one to 
the right.
And furthermore that balance=no inserts a pagebreak, whereas balance=yes does 
not?
Below a minimal example.

Thank you for the advice.  I was hoping to avoid having to learn about

  footnote.\footnote{And so it shall!  Unfortunately you won't be able
to see it because it is covered up with the text in the
columnsets.}

\input knuth

%\startpostponing
 \placefigure

Once again, I am sorry if my question is naive.  I am working through
the examples in the Columnset manual to try and wrap my head around
them, but it is becoming pretty clear to me that it is a tool for layout
designers far more accomplished than I am.

[NTG-context] Columns and figures in MKIV

[Jason Earl]

I am trying to upgrade an existing document from using texexec and
pdftex to context and luatex.  Unfortunately, the document relies pretty
heavily on columns (using \startcolumns[n=2,tolerant=verytolerant]) and
the idea that figures that are too wide to place in a column float to
the top of the next page.

Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case with the current
minimals.  The following example works fine for texexec (even if I
comment out the \startpostponing \stoppostponing code).  The figure is
placed (centered) at the top of page 2.  With MKIV, however, the figure
stays in the first column and bleeds over into the second column (the
postponing code does change it to the next page, but it doesn't force it
out of the column).

--8<---cut here---start->8---
\enableregime[utf-8]

\starttext
\startcolumns
\chapter[chap:testing]{Testing}

\startcolumns[n=2, tolerant=verytolerant]
\input knuth

%\startpostponing
  \placefigure
[center][fig:foo]
{none}
{\externalfigure[foo][]
  [width=1.5\textwidth]}
%\stoppostponing

\input tufte

\input knuth

\input tufte

\input knuth

\input tufte

\stopcolumns
\stoptext--8<---cut here---end--->8---

I am using the Context minimal distribution (on Linux) and context
reports that the current version as:

current version: 2011.06.29 09:57

It is quite likely that I am simply doing this wrong, but I have read:

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns

and it appears to support what I am trying to do.  I have experimented a
bit with columnsets, but they appear to be overkill for my use.  Then
again, I am probably doing it wrong.  Any advice would be appreciated.

I go to columns.


\startcolumns[n=2,blank=medium]

it's not a bug as by default columns are set up with

blank={line,fixed}

this has always been the case; as columns can be mixed with no columns 
we want the lines to align

This works, but shouldn't be the whitespace a global setting?

I found an other ?solution? 

When BOTH

\setupwhitespace[small]
\setupcolumns[blank=halfline]

is set then halfline is accepted. But halfline > small.

I like context very much, but finding the right option is often a 
game of pure chance.

[NTG-context] columns and footnotes

[Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini]

Hallo,

I use:

ConTeXt  ver: 2009.11.24 10:13 MKII  fmt: 2009.11.24  int: 
english/english

and I have many problems with columns and footnotes.

Is there a possibility to set footnotes in two columns too?

I tried 

\setupfootnotes[location=columns]

but I can not see any difference to

\setupfootnotes[location=lastcolumn]

In the moment I use 

\setupfootnotes[location=page]

and it is often the case that footnotes are printed one page to 
early. It is sometimes the case that the columns and the footnote 
area overlapp. 

What can I do to avoid these problems?

Ah, I see! The reason I asked is I didn't see any frame with your code... I

No, that doesn't solve my problem :-( Compare the two buffers and watch the 
space between the frame's top border and the first line of text:

---
\definelayer
[test]
[width=\paperwidth,
 height=\paperheight]

\setupbackgrounds
[page]
[background=test]

\starttext

\startbuffer[test]
\hsize=12cm
\startsimplecolumns
\input zapf
\stopsimplecolumns
\stopbuffer

\startbuffer[test2]
\input zapf
\stopbuffer

\setlayerframed
[test]
[x=5cm,
 y=10cm]
[width=12cm,
% align=normal,
 offset=none]
{\getbuffer[test]}
%{\getbuffer[test2]}

\page[empty]


\stoptext
---

Also, I forgot to mention that I need three columns... my apologies.

I managed to disable the balancing but I can't get the text height right. I'm 
probably not seeing the obvious but neither

\textheight{10cm}

nor

\overloadtextwidth{10cm}

between \startsetups and \stopsetups do the job :-( Please advise...

But the frame from setlayerframed has not the measures of the text,

You can set \textheight in the streamlayer settings and disable the balancing

I'm afraid that doesn't make the vertial space vanish :-( Any ideas?

Also, can I force the streamlayer to have a fixed height? In the example I'd 
like the first column to be filled all the way down to the visible bottom frame 
and then the remaining text should be broken to the second column. At the 
moment both columns are filled with roughly equal amounts of text...

When you want only text in two columns \startsimplecolumns ... 
\stopsimplecolumns
is a alternative to the normal columns environment and it works also in \framed
(which is used in \setlayerframed).

That's exactly what I need! Based on your example I kept experimenting a bit 
and got to:

---
\usemodule[streams]

\definestreamlayer
[columns]
[method=overlay]

\startsetups streamlayer:columns:settings
\overloadtextwidth{12cm}
\stopsetups

\setupbackgrounds

\starttext

\startstreamlayer[columns]
\startcolumns

\stopcolumns
\stopstreamlayer

\setlayerframed
[columns]
[x=2cm,
 y=3cm]
[width=12cm,
 height=8cm,
 align=normal,
 offset=none,
 framecolor=gray]
{\placestreamlayer[columns]}

%\setlayer
%[columns]
%[x=1cm,
% y=10cm]
%{\placestreamlayer[columns]}

\stoptext
---

Observations:

1. One can even do without the textbackground material for some reason.
2. \placestreamlayer apparently can only be used once (try uncommenting the 
last lines). So it doesn't nearly behave like a buffer...
3. There's some vertical space between the frame and the first line of text. Is 
this some \topskip thing? How can I get rid of this space?

Many thanks again for your suggestions and a happy new year,

[NTG-context] Columns within a layer

[Oliver Buerschaper]

Dear all,

how can I get columns within a layer? I tried

---
\setupbackgrounds
[page]
[background=text]

\definelayer
[text]
[width=\paperwidth,
 height=\paperheight]

\startbuffer[test]
\startcolumns[n=2]
\input zapf
\stopcolumns
\stopbuffer



\starttext


\startstandardmakeup

\setlayerframed
[text]
[x=1cm,
 y=3cm]
[width=12cm,
 height=6cm,
 align=normal,
 offset=none,
 framecolor=gray]
{\getbuffer[test]}

\stopstandardmakeup


\stoptext
---

with no success :-( I'm running MkIV, by the way.

Any help much appreciated!

Best wishes,
Oliver

AFAIK, no.

To create columns with different widths, you need to use columsets.

yes, and there might be even more variants in the future as there is not

May I suggest that \startitemize[columns] internally use such a mechanism,

Great! This is somewhat what I suspected (columns mechanism is the older one).

Indeed!
Inside framed text I used paragraphs to manually typset into columns; now I 
get to learn about streamlayers...

columns and columnset are two different mechanism two produce a document

that's a limitation in tex, when you use the 'columns' key for itemize
the items are typeset with a \startcolumns / \stopcolumns before and
after the environment and you can nest columns /columnset environments
(a tex limitation) but in normal one column text this is not the case
and you can use multicolumn items in most cases (in a few cases
streamlayer are necessary, e.g. within framedtext) but you can

\startcolumns
\startsimplecolumns
\startitemize
\item one
\item two

[NTG-context] columns(ets) and itemize[columns]

[Alan BRASLAU]

Hello,

I just completed a "big" project making heavy use of columnset, columnsetspan 
and paragraphs. Very powerful!

Two questions, first:
What is the real difference between columns and columnset?
I am a bit confused* about their coexistence. Is this purposeful or necessary 
(or is it simply historical)? Is \startcolumns simply an unnamed, "default" 
columnset?

(*and the wiki page needs to be clarified...)

Second question, maybe a bug?
\startitemize[columns] does not interact well:
I suspect that it could or should use paragraphs internally rather than 
columns so as to work within a column(set).

Minimal example:

\starttext

\startitemize[columns] \item first \item second \item third \stopitemize

\startcolumns[n=2]

\startitemize[columns] \item forth \item fifth \item sixth \stopitemize

\column

\startitemize[columns] \item seventh \item eighth \item nineth \stopitemize

\stopcolumns

\stoptext

Gives something like:

•_first_•_third
•_second

•_forth•_seventh
•_fifth_•_eighth
•_sixth•_nineth

Whereas I was expecting:

•_first_•_third
•_second

•_forth__•_sixth___•_seventh_•_nineth
•_fifth_•_eighth

No possible, \definelayout is resposible for margings, textheight and width ...
not for the fontsize

how to also change the fontsize from within the \definelayout block. Is
it possible?

I want to change the fontsize to 11pt. I know I could use
\switchtobodyfont but I would rather save myself some typing in the

[NTG-context] columns and \definemakeup

[Suno Ano]

Hi Folks!

I am in the curse of setting up the environment plus a project structure
for a book. My problem is with a few pages like for example colofon
where I used 

,[ content from comp_colophon.tex ]
| \startcomponent comp_colophon
| \product prod_back_matter
| \project proj_a_book
| 
| \startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no, page=right]
| 
| \startalignment[flushleft]
|   \ssd Colophon\par
|   \blank[1mm] 
|   \ssa \title\par
| \stopalignment
| 
| \hairline
| 
| \stopstandardmakeup
| 
| % --- 
| 
| \startstandardmakeup[doublesided=no, page=left]
| \stopstandardmakeup
| 
| 
| \stopcomponent
`

Now I want the text to be in columns -- two that is ... However, I tried
with

,
| \startcolumns[n=2]
|  
| \stopcolumns
`

and

,
| \definecolumnset[example][n=2]
| 
| \starttext
| \startcolumnset[example]
| \dorecurse{15}{\fakewords{100}{200}\par}
| \stopcolumnset
| \stoptext
`

but I just get one column in both cases. Can anyone tell me how I would
for example use \definemakeup in order to get exactly what
\startstandardmakeup and \stopstandardmakeup provides me with PLUS the
text gets typeset into two columns? Maybe if it is not possible with
\definemakeup what else could I do? Tia!

Re: [NTG-context] Columns and colour background [urgent]

[Oliver Buerschaper]

Thanks, Taco! That workes even better than I thought ... a column gap  
without color is more a feature to me than anything else ;-)

Oliver

P.S. Why's the option=background necessary from an interface point of  
view? Doesn't everything else (especially \framed) do without it  
happily?

Try adding option=background to the \setupcolumns. It may not do
precisely what you want though, as the column gap will not be
colored. If you want that, use textbackgrounds instead

Best wishes,

[NTG-context] Columns and colour background [urgent]

[Oliver Buerschaper]

Dear folks,

I'm reposting this because I haven't got any answers so far and also  
because this is somewhat urgent for me. I need this for a scientific  
poster which is due rather soon ... Please share your valuable advice  
with me :-)

Oliver



Consider this:

---

\setupcolors
[state=start]

\setupcolumns
[background=color,
 backgroundcolor=red]


\starttext

\startcolumns[n=2]
\dorecurse{4}{\input tufte}
\stopcolumns

\framed[background=color,backgroundcolor=red]{Test}

\stoptext

---

Shouldn't the background of my columns be painted red? According to
the manual \setupcolumns inherits from \setupframed which does work ...

Re: [NTG-context] columns

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hi,

(repost - anybody got an idea on this question?)

> http://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/page-mul.tex?search=%40%40klalign
>
> (search for @@klalign)


\setupcolumns accept align=yes,no,text but the source seem to indicate
that only 'text' is allowed which will be passed to \setupalign -
which itself does not accept 'yes' or 'no'.

Any comments?

Re: [NTG-context] columns/blank=

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hello Wolfgang,

probably I didn't understand your answer correctly. I was wondering
_why_ the ctxparskip has to be > 0pt for setupwhitespace to take
effect.

Hi Patrick,

both setups are indpendent from the other one, they use only the same
value inside columns.

1. \setupblank[\@@klblank]%

   use the value from \setupcolumns[blank=..] for every simple blank
   command inside columns. The default value for blank is line and
   this value is used. You can use other value like small, big or
   dimen without problems with a complex blank.
   
   simple blank: \blank
   complex blank: \blank[small|dimen|...]

2. \ifdim\ctxparskip>\zeropoint\relax
 \setupwhitespace[\@@klblank]%
   \fi

   look if the user has set parskip, if the answer is yes overwrite the
   global value from the user and use the local value for columns.
   The local comes also from the columns key \setupcolumns[blank=...]

   You can change the parskip value inside columns either with
   \setupcolumns[blank=...] or you write \setupwhitespace[...] after
   \startcolumns.


A testfile would also help, you see I set parskip to ConTeXts small
value but I get a line in columns.

\showgrid
\setupwhitespace[small]

\starttext

\startcolumns
\input knuth

\input knuth
\blank
\input knuth
\stopcolumns

text\par
text

\stoptext

Yes. The way I understand this is: if the number of lines in the column 
after balancing are greater than ntop, do column balancing (if enabled) 
otherwise not. For example,

\showgrid
\starttext
\dostepwiserecurse{5}{15}{1}{
\section{\recurselevel}
\startcolumns[n=2,ntop=\recurselevel,balance=yes]
  \dorecurse{20}{This is a test line to check for balancing. }
\stopcolumns
\page}
\stoptext
