Is there a way to get behavior like flowfram using ConTeXt?
Specifically, I mean the ability to define a set of "frames" or
boxes, possibly several on a page or across a series of pages, and
have the text automatically flow from one box to another in a
prescribed order?
I'm interested in doing InDesign-like layouts, which might have
multiple "stories", each of which can flow across multiple frames on
multiple pages. Using flowfram with LaTeX comes pretty close
(though only one story can flow from frame to frame), but there are
conflicts with the longtable package and potentially others. I
figured since one of the goals of ConTeXt (as I understand it) was
to avoid inter-package conflicts, perhaps this would offer a better
solution.
Asking after some behaviour "like this LaTeX package" makes not much
sense on this list, but since you explain what you mean... ;-)
Try "flows" in column sets, see the columns manual (http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/columns.pdf
).
(Never tried it myself, so can't help you further.)
