Something I cannot do with LaTeX that I would like to be able to do is have the text on the first page be single column and starting with the second page have the text be double column - even if the page transition is in the middle of a paragraph.

Is this possible to do with ConTeXt?


I think so, see manual columns.pdf


But it is not possible to switch completely automatically, even
without a  mid-paragraph pagebreak, I'm afraid.

I believe that columset mechanism (based on pouring \parshape from paragraph to paragraph and output routine support) can do it. Even in the manual is an example. But I share your doubts in case of some complex pages (floats, margins, marks). But plain text should be OK.

I am curious about the practical experience.
