Nested Column Layout

Nested Column Layout

Hello all,

I am trying to lay out a page that has a 2/3 column split, and then
nest another set of 3 columns inside the larger of the two outer
columns. In case that's not clear, I've attached a PNG that shows
approximately what I would like to achieve.

Here's what I've tried:

```
\defineparagraphs[TwoThirds][n=2]
\setupparagraphs[TwoThirds][1][width=0.33\textwidth]

\starttext

\startTwoThirds

\input tufte

\nextTwoThirds

\input tufte

\startcolumns[n=3]
\input tufte
\stopcolumns

\stopTwoThirds

\stoptext
```

Instead of doing what I described, it made the contents of that inner
column very narrow, but does not split it across columns. The \column
command seems to have no effect.

Thank you for your help,

Walter

Hello Walter,

seems to me something which could be done using columnsets. (But I 
didn't use them yet.)

See here:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns#Column_Sets

And in the manual
http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/columns.pdf
see especially the examples on pages 11 and 13-14.

Best regards, Oliver.
