Re: [NTG-context] columnset + floats = bad
Thanks for the suggestion Alan!
I tried out the pagecolumns approach. According to the manual it seems to
handle floats a bit better than the columnsets and I do not require spans right
now. However, here another weird thing is happening. After the end of the
pagecolumns an extra page is flushed even though it does not contain any
material. Why? MWE is below, output of latest beta attached.
Cheers, Henri

The leading spaces are stripped before the buffer is saved to the file

Now, as you're not afraid of low level code:

{StopAditya}%
{}%
{\savebuffer[file=test-temp.tmp,prefix=no,list=Aditya]}%

This is perfect as I am already using `\grabbufferdata` in my code. I can
easily adapt it to use `\buff_pickup` instead. Thanks!.
Does what you want but of course it's sort of ugly for a module to do that.
What we can do is this which is still ugly but picking up verbatim is
always ugly:
\def\buff_start_indeed#1#2#3#4%
{\edef\p_strip{\namedbufferparameter{#1}\c!strip}%
\normalexpanded{\buff_pickup{#2}{#3}{#4}{}{\buff_stop{#4}}\ifx\p_strip\v!no\zerocount\else\plusone\fi}}
\protect
I want this to be configurable at runtime and the vim module already has code
that enables `strip=yes` and `strip=no` options (I do this via a function in
vim so that it works with both mkii and mkiv; although I don't think that
anyone uses the mkii module any longer).
I added `strip=yes` option to the filter module, which is now the default
option. See "Stripping leading whitespace" in the module documentation
(https://github.com/adityam/filter). This is a MkIV only feature and I
will not implement it in MkII.
I also made `strip=yes` to be the default in t-vim (to be consistent with
t-filter). In t-vim, the `strip` option works with both mkii and mkiv.
