Re: LaTeX reledmac: what about ConTeXt ?

Hi Pablo,

I'm trying to find a path through the 2 columns set greek-latin with 'criticus apparatus'.

1. If you put a bigger text for avoid the \dorecurse command, with \definecolumnset[example][n=2, balance=yes] in the preamble, then the following coding (note: \startcolumnset and \stopcolumnset commands), all is well as ends well IF ONLY the text's length is less than a page. If the text length is larger than one page, there is a mismatch as a result, where the latin text goes is overprinted on the French text and the footnotes are overprinted by the Greek text.

2. Moreover, if you comment the \dorecurse command, with a short Greek and Latin text (only a paragraph each), all the notes are well printed, the same for the numbering line, but the French text is overprinted by the right column Latin ! (Points 1., and 2. without  ConteXt complaining or any error in the log file.

3. Now, return to the \dorecurse command, as follow : 
\dorecurse{8}{
\startcolumnset[example]{
    \Stephanus{1a} [1a] Ὁμώνυμα [...greek text...]
etc.
The result is the same as point 2.
I conclude there is a problem with the columnset command...

4. Now, I wonder if there is not a problem with brackets around the Greek-Latin text...

Hi Jean-Pierre,

there is something weird with columns and the last paragraph.

Even using exactly the same text for both left and right columns (as
shown in https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/085544.html),
the paragraph on the left fits on the first page, but the paragraph on
the right doesn’t.

Well, if that isn’t a bug, I’d like to know what I’m missing there.


Pablo
