Re: [NTG-context] rotated columns
Thank you, Wolfgang, I was trying to use columns, columnsets, paragraphs, but unfortunately not simplecolumns.

You can’t use the columns environment in framed. When you don’t need something
special you can use simplecolumns:
\starttext
\framed
[orientation=90,height=\textheight,align=normal]
{\startsimplecolumns
\input tufte
\stopsimplecolumns}
\rotate{\framed
[width=\textheight,align=normal]
{\startsimplecolumns
\input tufte
\stopsimplecolumns}}
\stoptext

You can take a look at streams which can be used for this.

Re: [NTG-context] rotated columns
Hi Wolfgang,
the example was too minimal :)
This is what I want to achieve:
\starttext
\rotate[rotation=90]{
\startframedtext
\startcolumns[n=2,balance=yes]
\input tufte
\stopcolumns
\stopframedtext
}
\stoptext
Rotation is done in \hbox. To get kind of minipage I "frame" it first,
as you suggest somewhere else on the list. But then balanced columns are
lost. Without framed text the prevdepth conflict appears. I do
understand, the columns environment needs to know the available space to
compute and balance columns, but playing with height parameter in
\rotate or \startframedtext didn't help either.
This is still very simplified situation of the problem to typeset some
material in balanced columns (which is the most natural way, not
necessarily with this kind of columns) and then rotate the typeset
material and put in into the margins (just the part of the whole typeset
page).

What is the problem and why do you want to rotate the columns for this?

[NTG-context] rotated columns
Hello to everybody, how to rotate balanced columns to avoid the prevdepth conflict? I've tried \rotate, \framed (to box the content), \vbox, \hbox, etc. with no luck. \starttext \startcolumns[n=2,balance=yes] \input tufte \stopcolumns \stoptex Thanks for the hints, Jano ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
