Hi,
According to the columns manual, the following should produce a
two-column layout with the first column being 1/3 and the second
column being 2/3 the makeupwidth:
\definecolumnset[example][n=2]
\setupcolumnset[example][1][width=.33\makeupwidth]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[example]
It seems a few examples from the columns manual --
http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/columns.pdf -- are broken.
Here is another (from page 34):
\definecolumnset[example][n=3]
\definecolumnset[therest][n=4]
\setupcolumnset[example]
\setupcolumnset[therest] [distance=.5cm] [distance=.5cm]
