Hi Fabio,
sorry, my first advice was bad. In the meantime I have played around
with columns and everything is working as expected. There are several
problems in your source. The first is, that you have to use
\setuplayout[grid=yes]
Read about grid snapping of headers in the details.pdf manual and look
into the columns environment (defined at the beginning of the columns
manual).
You can then adjust the headers (2 lines high) vertically by using the
'grid' parameter.
The problem with the graphic placing results from using \startcolumns
instead of \startcolumnset (see example in columns.pdf).
I attach my working example.

OK, I thought \placefloat[page] is defined like this, but now I see this

Thank you for your patch it behaves better but still the float is over
the text, see page 2 in the example. I also do not see the influence of

OK, it works and is sufficient for me since I know a number of needed
layers.
But generally it is not a clean solution. Can be solved counting number
of layers in one pass and defining in the second, but... Hans, do you
think is the grouping problem doable? If yes I will put the note to the
collector.

[NTG-context] marking in columnset

several kind of marking variants (first, last, both, ...) works

first=(\getmarking[M][first])~
last=(\getmarking[M][last])~
previous=(\getmarking[M][previous])~
both=(\getmarking[M][both])~
all=(\getmarking[M][all])~
current=(\getmarking[M][current])
\stopsetups

Thank you, Hans, for your reply.
I know that with such a complex layout manual adjustment is necessary.
I know about manual balancing. But how to avoid page break after
columnset closing?
It is feasible or I will have to abjured this idea?
the problem with automated balancing in this model is that it's near
to impossible (never say never with tex, but its definitely messsy
code) to combine this with the advanced float and area placement
features; so, your flow will be:
- typeset article
- determine balance requirements
- setup balancing
- retypeset article
- continue on same page
That is the point. How?

[NTG-context] columnset balancing
Hello Hans,
appologize my boring again with the same question about columnset
balancing. But I would like to know what is the current stage of this
feature. Seeing the code it seems to me some work in this direction was
done but due to very complex and tricky stuff I am not able to
recognize, how far from the goal it is.
Actually, what is my goal design?
+ two column layout
+ float spanning one or two columns
(both perfectly fullfilled by columnsets)
- each chapter head spans two columns
(it assumes stop columns, balancing, continuing on the same page without
pagebreak, put chapter head, start columnset on the rest of the page)
It is feasible or I will have to abjured this idea?
Thank you for your responce in advance.
Vit

i made an \restoreinterlinespace mechanism so that you can do the following:
\setuplayout[height=middle,width=middle,grid=yes]
\starttext

\dorecurse{10}

[NTG-context] hyphenation within columnsets with background
Hi,
I am preparing a rather large text, completely set in 3 columns, which
has lots of text with grey backgrounds.
During the preparation of this text, some questions came up :
1 - At first I put a grey background to my texts defining the
following macros (they are used within columnsets):
=
%start setting the text with a light grey background
\def\startlightgreybox{\setupframedtexts[frame=off,
background=color,
backgroundcolor=lightgrey,
width=broad]
\startframedtext
{\bf Some frame title}}
%stop setting the text with a light grey background
\def\stoplightgreybox{\stopframedtext}
=
After a while, and to see what difference there was between both, I
redefined both macros as :
===
=
%start setting the text with a light grey background
\def\startlightgreybox{\setupbackground[background=color,
backgroundcolor=lightgrey]
\startbackground
{\bf Some frame title}}
%stop setting the text with a light grey background
\def\stoplightgreybox{\stopbackground}
===
==
And to my surprise, I saw, that hyphenation works clearly better when
my backgrounds are defined with the second set of macros, which is of
course good news, especially when using 3 columns, but : is there an
explanation for this behaviour ?
2 - Another problem I have with those backgrounds is the following :
they seem to work well when the text spreads over several
columns/pages, as long as I don't force a 'next column' in the text.
The following piece of context causes a 'TeX capacity exceeded' error:
\setupcolors[state=start]
\definecolumnset[driekol][n=3]
\setupbackground[background=color, backgroundcolor=gray]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[driekol]
\startbackground
this is the text I would like to have with a grey background
\column
and with a possibility to split columns ``manually'' when necessary
\stopbackground
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
In the rare cases where I want to force a jump to the next column, I
replace the \column command with:
\stopbackground
\column
\startbackground
Is this the only way to force column jumps when using backgrounds ?
Thanks,
Geert

17 a line from the left column is reported on
the right column even if there is room for
it on the left column.
dunno, have to look into it (quite tricky to sync things in column sets;
stretching tex to the limit)
By the way, always in a columnsets context, is there a way to completely forbid floats on certain pages?
no, should be doabla (so remind me later)
I didn't find a way to tell placefigure not to allow figures to be renumbered during the placement. In other words, is there a possibility the follow the order in which I declare the figure, even if a page is less optimal like this...

Steffen Wolfrum wrote:
Thanks for the quick answer - but obviously my example was bad: columnsetareas
don't do what I need.
Maybe this is a better explanation:
Given you have two articles in a book set in two columns.
The second article doesn't start on a new page - it just begins where the first
one ends.
But the first article (aaa...) ends with two balanced columns,
then comes the heading (bbb) for the second article,
and then comes begins the second article (ccc...).
That's what I mean by
aaa aaa
aaa aaa
ccc ccc
ccc ccc
Do you have a trick how to do a page like this with columnsets?
well, it involves some manual tweaking (numbers and such) and is not yet
100% ok

but do you also know the answer to the second bug:
When you uncomment the lines (testfile below)
the columnset gets 2 lines shorter!
I experienced this when I added before the literature component
a catalogue component that uses a structure like the commented lines do.
So I had two separate files actually!

[NTG-context] columnset BUG - (urgent!)
Hi,
please have a look at testfile below:
without a footnote everything works fine,
but with the footnote the columnset gets crashed!
I noticed this bug in a bigger book project:
The columnset is at the end as a seperate document (\component).
And the footnote was added 300 pages and 5 component files before !!!
As this footnote was one of the last changes that were done
before I wanted to send the book to the printer
a fast help would be very much appreciated.
Sorry, but it's really quite urgent -
Steffen

[NTG-context] Float question
Hi,
I've defined a new float with
\setupfloats[background=screen,spacebefore=none,spaceafter=none,indentnext=
no]
\definefloat [diagram] [diagrams]
In general they are nicely placed, and grid typesetting is maintained.
Sometimes 'indentnext=no' doesn't work. Why?
When typesetting with columnsets
\chapter{Versuch über die Krankheiten des Kopfes}
\startcolumnset[two]
[...]
the space above isn't removed but it works when the float is moved to a new
page when there's not enough room left. Do I have to manually put a
negative space here? (I suspect that even the spacebefore and spaceafter
didn't work)

Good evening.
Many thanks for your help. Your solution works well with the newest
ConTeXt and one particular document I now typeset. I have to check it
still with more documents. Do you want to gen a report from these tests?
If you want I can send you many examples, but not `minimal files',
since I don't know when the problem occures. As I typeset our church
bulletin, I've got that result pretty often---approximately on one
third or one fourth of all pages.
just test this on many docs and let me know if it fails
(one source of problems with i'm currently trying to catch is rounding
errors in comparisons)
I can't switch to columnset all my documents. Columnsets are
absolutely great (one of the ConTeXt miracle---I thought it is not
possible to do it in TeX because of its breaking routines), but
up-to-now columnsets cannot be ballanced (or can they?), and my church
bulletin is typset in such a way that each article can start anywhere
on the page, and the columns must be ballanced before it. I can't
explain it better because of my English, but its pages look like this:
x x
x x
x x
x x
Title of article
x x
x x
Therefore I would lobby for the support of the old \startcolumns ...
\stopcolumns environment. :-)
don't worry, i'm not driopping the old one, actually, in due time i'll provide more specialized ones and interfaces to write your own -)
balancing in columnsets is a tricky business, the following should work
(kind of manual balacing, complete control over how long columns on pages are; probably a bit fragile)

[NTG-context] Columnset Areas - Background Color ?
Hi !
I've been trying to use columnsets with columnsetareas
but I haven't been able to define a background color
for the text in the columnset area. You can see the
problem in the pdf I've attached (area5.pdf).
I'v created a small example of the problem: area5.tex
As far as I recall I've also tried to use a
columnset span but the problem was the same.
Can anyone provide me with some hints so that I
can use some background color in columnsetareas ?
Thanks,

This works, but then I can not use the other nice features of the columnset environment. Further search in the code shows that the balance=yes is also present in the columnset environment, but it has no effect. Is this right, a missing feature or a malfunction?

Re: [NTG-context] Wrapping around footnotes
Well, that's sort of OK if you only have one or two footnotes and can
fiddle with the manual placement of the footnotes. What I want is for the
columns in the document to flow around the footnotes automatically
througout the entire document. If you look at the following two
(essentially the same) PDFs:
http://www.cs.unm.edu/~wneumann/files/HORSE-ctx.zip
http://www.cs.unm.edu/~wneumann/files/HORSE-ltx.zip
you can see what I am trying to achieve. The second file (prepared with
Latex) flows automatically around the footnotes on pages 1 and 3, while
the first file (prepared with Context) does not, subsequently looking
awkward (if not ugly) and wasting valuable space. does anyone know how to
acheive the flow of the Latex processed paper?
Thanks for the suggestion though, I do appreciate the help.

[NTG-context] Floats in Columnsets
It appears as though \placefigure doesn't work very well with columnsets
if the size of the floats isn't an exact multiple of the underlying
grid. More precisely, \placefigure and friends, when used with any of
the *tb and tb* options (tblr, tbrl, lrtb, rltb, fxtb) snap the bottom
of the figure to the grid rather than the top. Of course, that means
that most of the time figures will not be aligned at the top. (See below
for an example.)
Does anybody know of a fix or workaround for this problem?

The example works for me, using TeX Live 2003 with a newer (beta)
cont-tmf.tex:
$ texexec --pdf context-align.tex

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".
Acrobat Reader 4.0 says, "There was an error opening this document.
Could not repair file."

This isn't so obvious, IMHO. I tried to do the same thing back in
1998 or 1999 to create a directory for a college. I made the glue
between the boxes very stretchable, so that context would be able to
put as much space as necessary between the directory entries in order
to have the columns line up at the bottom.

columns, from an implementation standpoint, are not easy at all in
tex. It has to do with subtleties in the page output routine that I
don't really grasp.

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

The example definition of a columnset presented above is copied from the
manual "Columns". - Often commands take optional arguments. Porbably this
would also work without the [local].

Re: [NTG-context] Marginal notes in two-column setup
After sttudying the sources and a bunch of trial and errors I can come
up
with the following solution which works for a two solumns set!
Great. This works. Now for something different. While learning ConTeXt,
I find that often the syntax escapes me. Take for instance:
\definecolumnset[example][n=2]
\define[1]\MargText{%
\ifodd\mofcolumns{%
\inleft{#1}}
\else
{\inright{#1}}\fi}
\starttext
\startcolumnset[example]
\MargText{Here left of column}
\input tufte
\column[local]
What does [local] mean here? According the the manual one should say
\column and I can't find the explanation of what local means or what
you are doing here.
\input tufte
\MargText{\ifodd\mofcolumns{Hello!, still left of column}\else {Hello,
now
right of column}\fi}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
I believe that Hans will make a generic solution...

After sttudying the sources and a bunch of trial and errors I can come up
with the following solution which works for a two solumns set!
\definecolumnset[example][n=2]
\define[1]\MargText{%
\ifodd\mofcolumns{%
\inleft{#1}}
\else
{\inright{#1}}\fi}
\starttext
\startcolumnset[example]
\MargText{Here left of column}
\input tufte
\column[local]
\input tufte
\MargText{\ifodd\mofcolumns{Hello!, still left of column}\else {Hello, now
right of column}\fi}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
I believe that Hans will make a generic solution...
