Some months ago another columns implementation came out, but if I
recall correctly, when you have columns of vboxes separated by very
stretchy glue, the new columns implementation can't bottom-align them
either.
got you:
\starttext
\startcolumnset
\dorecurse{100}
{\framed
[width=\hsize,height=fit,align=normal]
{\getrandomnumber\whatever{1}{9}%
\dorecurse\whatever{\strut test \recurselevel\endgraf}}
\vfilll}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
Oh, I can't wait to see what that example does! Does it show that I
am not recalling correctly? I hope so.
The example, though, doesn't result in a pdf file for me when I put it
into a file, test.tex, and run texexec --pdf test.

Hi,
I am trying to typeset a text which should look roughly like that:
|-| |-| |--|
|text | |text | |text |
| | |-| | |
|-| | |
|-| | |
|-| |text | | |
|text | |-| |--|
| |
| | |-| |--|
| | |text | |text |
|-| |-| |--|
So I have a frames with some text (actually, addresses - Hans, maybe
you remember the address booklet I showed you here in Darmstadt) in
three columns. So I tried something like:
\startcolumns[n=3]
\framed{first address...}
\vskip 0.5cm plus 1fill
\framed{second address...}
\vskip 0.5cm plus 1fill
\framed{third address...}
.
.
.
\stopcolumns
Which (obviously because I use TeX code inside ConTeXt - shame on me)
fails, the frames are not aligned at the bottom.
So I'm looking for a way to typeset them with a distance of at least
0.5cm and align at the bottom - the remaining space should be spread
equally...
I hope the question is understandable and I hope someone has already
done something like this...
Greetings,
ALeX
Now I haven't. But there is another approach to this. There is an arranging
possibility which looks as follows:
\setuppapersize [XY][A4]
\setuppaper [topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm,dx=1mm,dy=2mm,nx=3,ny=4] %
\setuplayout
[page]
[topspace=5mm,
backspace=5mm,
header=0pt,
headerdistance=0pt,
footer=0pt,
footerdistance=0pt,
location=middle,
marking=on]
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]
\setuparranging [XY]
\setupframedtexts
[frame=off,
leftframe=on,
bottomframe=on,
align=middle,
location=middle,
width=broad]
%\showframe
\startbuffer[Addresse1]
\startframedtext
...
\stopframedtext
\page
\stopbuffer
\startbuffer[Addresse2]
\startframedtext
...
\stopframedtext
\page
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\dorecurse{6}{\getbuffer[Addresse\recurselevel]}%between first braces
number of addresses you have in buffers
\stoptext
You will have to play with the different option parameters.
It is usefull to start texshow :-)
