Hi Ed, 

I forgot to say: when seting up a layout, say \showframe. It helps a
bit.

So you have tried out my t-layout? I guess you have to rename it since
the distribution contains a layout module as well. What else do you
miss? Do you need a graphical representation of everything?

Layout

All,

This is what is needed, but even in more detail.

Try this in Latex:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{layout}
\begin{document}
\layout
\end{document}

We need a picture(s) indicating all of the various layout parameters and
their location on the page, as shown in the figure generated when you run
the Latex code above.

Well, my version is capable of doing that, and also span multiple pages,
with unequal number of cols etc. Next month i will pick up that thread. You
can then also define specific column methods, as well as force floats to
every reasonable place. [i test this kind of stuff with random documents
with hundreds of random foats]

Layout

[Giuseppe Bilotta]

Hello,
I wonder if in ConTeXt is possible to achieve layout
in forms similar to the following (with columns):

+-------------------------------+
|.......|.......|               |
|.......|.......| Picture/Float |
|.......|.......|               |
|.......|.......+---------------+
|.......|.......|.......|.......|
|.......|.......|.......|.......|
|.......|.......|.......|.......|
|.......|.......|.......|.......|
|.......|.......|.......|.......|
+-------------------------------+

+-------------------------------+
|.......|.......|.......|.......|
|.......|.......|.......|.......|
|.......+---------------+.......|
|.......|               |.......|
|.......| Picture/Float |.......|
|.......|               |.......|
|.......+---------------+.......|
|.......|.......|.......|.......|
|.......|.......|.......|.......|
+-------------------------------+

and alike (that is, the float spanning
more than one column, and going in one
of the corners or in the middle etc),
possibly being able to choose where to
put the float.
