Hello Wizards,
the next example illustrates the problem with wrong order of

\definecolumnset[A][n=2,balance=yes]
\setupcolumnsetlines[A][1][1][21]

\startcolumnset[B]
\section{Zapf}
\dorecurse{1}{\input zapf \endgraf}
\blank
Content:
\placecontent[criterium=all]
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
Problem is that the second section (Zapf) is inserted to .tui before the
first one (Knuth). My observation: on the page where one columnset (A)
is closed by \setupcolumnsetlines and the second (B) continues, .tuo
contains marks from B firstly. This makes book content unsable in this
configuration.
Any solutions? I am thinking about: Proper order writting to .tuo or to
sort items according to mark number - it is correct (not sure if it is
implemented?).
it's a kind of bug; how about swapping the order: (page-lyr.tex)
\def\settextpagecontent#1#2#3% #2 and #3 will disappear
{\doifelselayerdata{OTRTEXT}
{\setbox#1\hbox to \makeupwidth
{\startoverlay
{\tightlayer[OTRTEXT]} % first, otherwise problems with toc
{\normalsettextpagecontent{#1}{#2}{#3}\box#1}
\stopoverlay}%
\dp#1\zeropoint}%
{\normalsettextpagecontent{#1}{#2}{#3}}}
Slaaav!
(you really don't want to know what happens there -)
World record document with 40 balanced columnsets says it is OK.

Re: [NTG-context] \input introduces space
Hi Peter,
Not the \input command, but the end-of-line in the inputted file
is creating the space, indirectly. TeX normally appends a character
with the current value of \endlinechar to each line of an input-ed
file, and that character is later converted to a space.
Setting \endlinechar to -1 temporarily is a possibility, another
is writing a percent sign to the end of the line, yet another is
ending the written line with \relax (or a similar space-gobbling
command), and finally changing the catcode of the current
\endlinechar to 9 (ignored) also works.
Cheers, Taco

Re: [NTG-context] framing columns
Hans, Thanks for your suggestion, but in the meantime I worked hard to find a solution and now do a framedtext within a framed text. Calculating the width and height of the inner framedtext from the surrounding one's offset and the margin wanted. After puzzling out that location=middle can put the inner framedtext centered it seems to work for me. But it is a bit more work than the solution you are showing me here; surely I will try your suggestion because it seems so much simpler. I must admit I would not have found out on my own about the two uses of \hsize. As for your question: can you put that in the wiki? I have not the faintest idea of how to put things in a wiki.

[NTG-context] some commands still use texexec without texmfstart
Hi,
I use a standalone context distribution in parallel with miktex. The
way miktex is configured, it provides a texexec.exe file in its bin
directory. Context provides a texexec.bat file in its bin directory.
Normally, texexec is supposed to be run using texmfstart which picks
texexec.rb from the script directory and everything works fine. There
are however some macros that call texexec without texmfstart. As a
result the miktex texexec (texexec.exe) is called over context's
texexec.bat. I am listing the files that call raw texexec. Shouldn't
all of these be called using texmfstart?
1. core-fig.tex has a line
\executesystemcommand{texmfstart texexec.pl --batch --pdf #1 #3}}
Notice the texexec.pl
2. page-app.tex has a line
\executesystemcommand{texexec \bufferprefix\@@texapp.tex --once
--batch}
No texmfstart
3. supp-mps.tex has a definition
\def\executeMPTEX#1%
{texexec
}
No texmfstart
Some support scripts also use texexec without texmfstart
1. mptopdf.pl has a line
$mpbin = 'texexec --mptex $PassOn' }
2. texfont.pl has
if ($show) { system (texexec --once --silent $texfile) }
3. texsync uses
system(texexec --make --alone #{str})
4. ctxtools.rb uses
one = texexec --make --alone --all #{interface}
two = texexec --batch --silent --interface=#{interface} x-set-01
5. pdftrimwhite uses
$result = `texexec --batch --once --purge $resultfile` }
6. makempy.pl uses
$tex{context} = texexec --batch --once --interface=en --pdf ;

I had notice that is there is not input file in my ConTeXt file, then, when I compile by WinEdt interface, the pdf file is closed with no problem. If I use an \input file.tex command in the ConTeXt file, then one ask me a file name for the pdf, since the file can not be closed automatically.
