I alweays fear using such constructs since I have a feeling that ConTeXt has something better to offer, but colums seem a bit problematic anyway. > You could also redefine to prohibit a pagebreak/columnbreak between > paragraphs but these things should be done in a local group. It needs to be done locally anyway. I just need to keep some portions together.
