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

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?
What is the desired output? Do you want the left "column" to continue on
to the next page? Is so, you could use the tabulate environment.

Hi,
There is a subtle bug with \adaptlayout.
\adaptlayout[1][height=max] does not work, e.g.,
\showframe
\adaptlayout[1][height=max]
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth \par}
\stoptext
but \adaptlayout[2][..] etc work. The reason is the following.
Typically, we use \adaptlayout[...][...] before \starttext at which
point \realpageno=1.
Now, \page_adapts_layout calls \page_adopts_check which checks if
"\??pageadaptions\the\realpageno" is set. If so, it calls the
pageadaptions and resets it to relax.
Since all this happens before \starttext, it does not affect the first
page.
I am not sure what is the best way to fix this.
\unprotect
\def\page_adapts_check

\appendtoks \page_adapts_check \to \everystarttext
\appendtoks \page_adapts_reset \to \everyshipout

Well you answered my question. The chart I read for unicode characters
gave the values I quoted. I guess I was reading the wrong chart. What
chart do you use?

Excellent! Now in MKIV how would I encode an opening quote mark American
style? In previous TeX programs it was always ``. The MKIV substitute
\quotation{foo}
is not practical for my application, where the raw input code
may use the ditto mark " for both opening and closing quotes. I am
looking for something in MKIV equivalent to \char92 in plain TeX. On
the unicode table I find the hex value 008013 but I don't know how to
plug that in to a macro that redefines the first occurrence of " to be
that character, and the second occurrence to be hex 000814 etc. I can
write the macro, I just need the expression equivalent to \char that
gives me such characters in MKIV.
