Re: pictures in columns

[Henning Hraban Ramm <angerweit@gmx.net>]

Thank you, it works! (Couldn't believe it...)

I'll sell ConTeXt as newspaper layout processor... ;-)

Next I'll try to use that for longer texts...

...for I need it the other way: not pictures spanning several columns, but
parts of columns.

Can't see a special effect. Hints?

Ok, i defined a columntextarea and filled it with a buffered text.
I don't understand why the text gets center aligned. And it's not in the grid.

It would be nice if one could change the columnset in the middle of the page,
say I've a five-column-set and a four-column-set... (Like with start/stop 
columns)

(I fear you must help me a bit when we meet in Erlangen...)
