[NTG-context] Text to be placed into the free space after columns and end of the page
Hello, suppose the minimal example: \showboxes \starttext \startcolumns[n=2,balance=no,] \input knuth \stopcolumns \vfill abcd \stoptext This produces two page document with columns on the first page and text "abcd" on the second. But - I want the text "abcd" to be placed to the bottom of the same page as columns are (thus I attempted to put \vfill into the code, but it doesn't work), so to get one page document looking like: +-- page width -+ Column text | (unused) column text | column text | column text | column text | column text | (some vertical space) abcd +- end of page -+ - How to achieve this?

It is not clear to me why you are using columns here. If you want balanced
columns, you could use:
\starttext
\startsimplecolumns[n=2]
\input knuth
\stopsimplecolumns
\vfill
abcd
\stoptext
But - I want the text "abcd" to be placed to the bottom of the same
page as columns are (thus I attempted to put \vfill into the code, but
it doesn't work), so to get one page document looking like:
+-- page width -+
Column text | (unused)
column text |
column text |
column text |
column text |
column text |
(some vertical space)
abcd
+- end of page -+
- How to achieve this?
If you just want a narrower one column output (since using balance=no and
\vfill after that only makes sense if the length of the content is less than a
single column), you can use
\setupnarrower[right=0.5\textwidth]
\startnarrower[right]
\input knuth
\stopnarrower
or to get right frame:
\startframedtext[width=0.45\textwidth,frame=off, rightframe=on, roffset=0.5em]
\input knuth
\stopframedtext

Re: [NTG-context] Text to be placed into the free space after columns and end of the page
Hello Aditya,
thanks for all your answers.
You were right - my minimalist sample was not very suitable, and my real
sample can be successfuly handled with \startnarrower.
Thanks again for your time.
Best regards,
Lukas
