Re: [NTG-context] How to use columns inside another column?
Hi, Hans I've been reading page-str and m-streams these days, but I'm so unfamiliar with ConTeXt's output routine. So one thing leads to another, I have to read more files to look for the definitions of some low-level macros used in these files. And I get confused. Maybe this kind of extension is too hard for me now. Could you give me an example (as small as possible) to make subpages and combine them onto one page? By the way, the m-streams module seems not working pretty well with columns. I think maybe more setups should be put into streamlayer:block:settings but I really don't know what to do.

Have you read the columnset documentation?
http://pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/columns.pdf
There are examples where the visual affect is the same as nested
columns. I have not read the details of how they are implemented.

Re: [NTG-context] How to use columns inside another column?
Thanks Mr. Mahajan
I've read the article, but one can only span some texts over two or more
columns rather than split a column into two. I've tried double the column
numbers and span the other text over two columns. But of course it failed
for I want the small inner column to be balanced.
I'm now reading the page-mul.tex. It is a long and confusing file---I'm
wondering how Hans and other guys wrote such long files that hardly had a
bug---but I really hope I can get some tricks from it.

Re: [NTG-context] How to use columns inside another column?
Thanks, Mr. Hoekwater If the texts are short, say they won't go to the next column, they could be stored into a \vbox whose \hsize is half of the width of current column (maybe less) and \vsplit it into two equally high ones. But when it's long enough, I think I need to know the rest room for the current column. Is there any primitives just behavior like \pagegoal?

Re: [NTG-context] How to use columns inside another column?
Thank you very much, Mr. Hagen, and all the other gentlemen that helped me or were willing to help. For there is no easy ways available, I think I should read these two files thoroughly. I hope I can master ConTeXt like you guys so that I could help others who have weird requests like me one day.
