Hello Peter,

playing with "grid" option within \setuplayout and \setuphead might help - see:

----
\setuplayout[grid=no]
\setuphead[section][grid=no]

\starttext
  \startsection[title=Space is ok here]
    \input tufte
  \stopsection

  \blank

  \startcolumns[n=2]
    \startsection[title=Too much white-space here]
      \input tufte
    \stopsection

    \setuphead[section]%[after=\vskip-2ex]

    \startsection[title=Space is ok here with workaround]
      \input tufte
    \stopsection
  \stopcolumns
\stoptext
----

Best regards,

Lukas

Předmět: [NTG-context] white-space after section-head in columns

Hi,

What is the right way please to get normal white-space after a section in
columns, i.e. not too much?

Example, that shows the problem:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\starttext
\startsection[title=Space is ok here]
  \input tufte
\stopsection
\startcolumns[n=2]
\startsection[title=Too much white-space here]
  \input tufte
\stopsection
\setuphead[section][after=\vskip-2ex]
\startsection[title=Space is ok here with workaround]
  \input tufte
\stopsection
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

TIA,
--
           Peter
