Try it by uncommenting various lines:

\starttext

\startcolumns[n=2]

Do people agree with that characterization; has the bug been found; what's
being done about it?  I don't want to have to re-setup whitespace every time
I go to columns.


\startcolumns[n=2,blank=medium]
\input knuth
\stopcolumns

it's not a bug as by default columns are set up with

blank={line,fixed}

this has always been the case; as columns can be mixed with no columns 
we want the lines to align

ConTeXt does this to keep the lines on the grid.

\setupwhitespace[medium]

\starttext

\startcolumns
\input knuth
\stopcolumns

\startcolumns[blank=medium]
\input knuth
\stopcolumns

\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] columns and whitespace

2010-02-16 Thread Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini
Hallo Wolfgang,

  Neither \setupwhitespace[halfline]nor
 \setupcolumns[blank=halfline]is
  working. Grid is off by default, isn't it?
 
 Set the whitespace after \startcolumns.
 

This works, but shouldn't be the whitespace a global setting?

I found an other ?solution? 

When BOTH

\setupwhitespace[small]
\setupcolumns[blank=halfline]

is set then halfline is accepted. But halfline  small.

I like context very much, but finding the right option is often a 
game of pure chance.

  is it possible to get a half line space after paragraphs in
 columns?
  The default is no space. And
 
  \setupwhitespace[small]
 
  produces a whole line of space.
 
 halfline should work unless the grid is forced (although in mkiv 
 different rules apply than in mkii)
