Hi again,
I played around a litte, and i'm coming nearer to the result i desire.
The example:

\showframe

\setuptolerance[horizontal, verytolerant]

\definewhitespacemethod[Test]{\ctxparskip 0pt plus4pt minus0pt}

\setupalign[line]
%\setuplayout[grid=yes]
\setuplayout[lines=41]

%\showgrid
\starttext


\startcolumns[n=2, align=yes, balance=yes]

\clubpenalty10000
\widowpenalty10000

\setupwhitespace[Test, flexible]

%\setuplayout[grid=tolerant]

\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth}

\stopcolumns

\stoptext

is a big step in the right direction. Pages 1 & 2 are perfect now, but I wonder,
why on page 3 there is such a big space in the right column. (the space is
needed to adjust the columns, but they are not really exact adjusted??)
Are there any ideas for improvement?

Thanks,
Achim



Zitat von ac...@jander.de:

Hi at all,
thank you for the replies. Im still not fully happy, but i get ahead.
\setuplayout[lines=40] seems to do the job and holds the text inside the area.

Zitat von Taco Hoekwater <t...@elvenkind.com>:


\setuplayout[lines=40]

And you need

  \setuplayout[grid=yes] % or grid=tolerant

to get \setupalign[line] to work.


With grid=yes or grid=tolerant the spacing between the paragraphs goes to one
full line. Thats too much. What i want to achieve is to have each column spaced to the full height, but i need no grid inbetween. I only want to have the first
and last line one the same height, and the paragraphs been spaced in the
smallest possible amount.


\showframe

\setuptolerance[horizontal, verytolerant]

\newskip\Hugeskip
%\Hugeskip = 1em plus 8em minus 1em
\Hugeskip = 4pt plus 16pt minus 0pt

\definevspacingamount[Huge][\Hugeskip][\Hugeskip]           % for \blank
\definewhitespacemethod[Notsohuge]{\ctxparskip.5\Hugeskip}  % for
\setupwhitespace

\setupalign[line]
\setuplayout[grid=tolerant]
\setuplayout[lines=41]

%\showgrid
\starttext


\startcolumns[n=2, align=yes]

\clubpenalty10000
\widowpenalty10000

\setupwhitespace[Notsohuge]

%\setuplayout[grid=tolerant]

\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth}

\stopcolumns

\stoptext



Thanks,
Achim
