(I know \startcolumns[n=2,distance=15pt,rule=on] does this, but I need certain columnset features). The only thing I came up with so far is \definecolumnset[example][n=3,distance=0pt] %n=3 instead n=2 \setupcolumnset[example][2][width=15pt] and then put the rule in an area defined for column 2. 2) Is there a way to set ny "dynamically" for a columnsetarea, for example, if the text/image/whatever put in the area runs over six lines, tell it to just use six lines automatically? 3) When using columnsetareas, is there a way to link them to a specific columnset? Like, I've got \definecolumnset[set1]... \definecolumnset[set2]... \definecolumnsetarea[one][both][x=2,y=1,nx=1,ny=10] This area pops up in both column sets, and the only way I got it from not showing up in set2 was doing \setupcolumnsetarea[one][both][state=start] \startcolumnset[set1] {...} \stopcolumnset \setupcolumnsetarea[one][both][state=stop] \startcolumnset[set2] {...} \stopcolumnset I would have expected a columnsetarea to be linked to a specific columnset, is this the case? Like in \definecolumnset[set1]... \definecolumnset[set2]... \definecolumnsetarea[set1][one][both][x=2,y=1,nx=1,ny=10] %area for set1 only \definecolumnsetarea[set2][one][both][x=3,y=5,nx=2,ny=5] %area for set2 only Maybe there's a parameter in definecolumnsetarea that does it, but I didn't find anything. And in the columns manual there's just one set being used... Cheers Michael
