The mixedcolumns doesn’t have a option for this yet but (tolerance and blank options are missing as well) but they can be added. In the meantime you can add \setupalign[flushleft] at the begin of the environment.

One other problem has appeared: \startmixedcolumns[align=right] doesn't work (align=... works with \startcolumns). How can I change the alignment?

Your example works, it only doesn't work with the old \startcolumn. After having changed everything to mixed columns everything is fine now. Thanks again.

Mixed columns are a rewrite of the old columns mechanism.
It would ha been possible to use the new code for \startcolumns
but Hans restrained himself from doing this because the new code
produces a different output and ou have to force the new mechanism
with \startmixedcolumns to use it.
A advantage of the new environment is that you can use
it in \startframedtext (with a few restrictions) where the old mechanism
has failed.

Do you have a example because there isn’t an space between the columns
when you use “distance=0pt”.
\starttext
\startmixedcolumns[distance=0pt,separator=rule]
\dorecurse{1000}{i }
\stopmixedcolumns
\stoptext

[NTG-context] Problems with columns and grid
Hello list, in the following minimal working example (using Mark IV), the \column command is ignored. It works if the grid is disabled or balance=no is set. I need the grid, and regarding the balance: without balance, the columns use the whole type area height, but I want additional text to appear underneath the columns. The height parameter doesn't seem to control the columns' height. So my question is: How can I make \column to work or how can I at least set the column height as a workaround? \setuplayout[grid=yes] \starttext \startcolumns%[balance=no] left \column right 1\\right 2 \stopcolumns \stoptext Kind regards, Joshua ___ 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 ___
