I am going through the Context styles library (colo-ini.tex and friends)
to figure out what the various files do. A portion of them come with
sample demo code and a smaller portion of the demos work on my system.
Am I reinventing the wheel? Is there a document somewhere that says:
``This is what these examples are all about''? I know that there are
comments at the head of each file but these can be a bit terse.
Not a priority question :-)

If you just want to see the demos in these files, copy a specific
file to a new directory and run `texexec --module --pdf colo-ini.tex'
(and others). You need the nl interface for those documented modules.

Now I am confused again. What is an "nl interface"? does that mean that
I must recreate Context to accept Dutch language? I think I did it that
way last time but I don't remember.

Hi,
I am using two columns, but the command \column which should force a
transition to the next column does not work.
Here is a small example (in dutch):
\steluitvoerin[pdftex]
\stelkolommenin[n=2]
\starttekst
\startkolommen
Tekst 1.
\kolom
Tekst 2.
Tekst 3.
\stopkolommen
\stoptekst

that looks OK here:
Tekst 1. Tekst 2.
Tekst 3.
Isn't this what you want to get?

Yes, that's what I would like to get, but in fact I get:
Tekst 1. Tekst 3.
Tekst 2.
And if I use: balance=no, I get:
Tekst 1.
Tekst 2.
Tekst 3.

Maybe there have been relevant changes since august last year?

You must be joking!
(Seriously; I have no idea what the changes were since last August;
you should really try a recent ConTeXt version.)

indeed, there has been some changes to the \column command:
\column
\column[yes]
\column[preference]
(you may try, in your version:
\def\column
{\par
{\testrulewidth\zeropoint\ruledvskip\teksthoogte}
\penalty-200
\vskip-\teksthoogte
\prevdepth-\thousandpoint} % signals top of column
which equals yes)

Thank you Hans. This works OK.
>> Maybe there have been relevant changes since august last year?
In order to eliminate misunderstanding: here I meant relevant with respect
to the \column command.
I did not mean to underestimate the enormous work Hans and others are doing.
