Hello,
I just completed a "big" project making heavy use of columnset, columnsetspan
and paragraphs. Very powerful!
Two questions, first:
What is the real difference between columns and columnset?
I am a bit confused* about their coexistence. Is this purposeful or necessary
(or is it simply historical)? Is \startcolumns simply an unnamed, "default"
columnset?
(*and the wiki page needs to be clarified...)
Second question, maybe a bug?
\startitemize[columns] does not interact well:
I suspect that it could or should use paragraphs internally rather than
columns so as to work within a column(set).
Minimal example:
\starttext
\startitemize[columns] \item first \item second \item third \stopitemize
\startcolumns[n=2]
\startitemize[columns] \item forth \item fifth \item sixth \stopitemize
\column
\startitemize[columns] \item seventh \item eighth \item nineth \stopitemize
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
Gives something like:
•_first_____________________•_third
•_second
•_forth____________________•_seventh
•_fifth_____________________•_eighth
•_sixth____________________•_nineth
Whereas I was expecting:
•_first_____________________•_third
•_second
•_forth__•_sixth___________•_seventh_•_nineth
•_fifth_____________________•_eighth
