Subject: Two column itemizations
Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2000 16:43:49 -0700 [thread overview]

All,
I have:
\setuppapersize[S6][S6]
\setuplayout
[backspace=10pt,
topspace=10pt,
margin=0pt,
rightedge=100pt,
rightedgedistance=20pt,
width=460pt,
header=0pt,
footer=0pt,
height=middle]
In my exercise sets, I'd like two columns in some instances. But this
doesn't work. Why?
\let\\=\cr

\startitemize[n,broad]
\item Write the Matlab commands that generate each of the following matrices.
\startitemize[a,columns]
\item $\pmatrix{
1 & 1 & 3 & 0 \\
-3 & -1 & 6 & 8 \\
4 & 4 & 10 & -7 \\ }$
\item $\pmatrix{
10 & 5 & -6 \\
-5 & -8 & -4 \\
-5 & -10 & 3 \\
8 & 8 & -5 \\ }$
\stopitemize
\stopitemize
What I think happens is that for some reason columns two is dividing the
whole page into two columns, not just the text area. I tested this theory with
\startitemize[n,broad]
\item Write the Matlab commands that generate each of the following matrices.
\startitemize[a,columns]
\item one
\item two
\stopitemize
\stopitemize
It appears that the second column starts right in the middle of the page,
but not the middle of the text area. Consequently, in the above example,
there isn't enough room for the matrix and it somehow gets shot down to the
next line. Anyhow, my output winds up like
a. one
b. two
where, of course, one and two are the matrices defined above.
Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?
