marking in columnset

marking in columnset

[Vit Zyka]

Dear ConTeXters,

several kind of marking variants (first, last, both, ...) works 
perfectly in standard one-column layout:

----------------------------------------------------
\definemarking[M]

\startsetups S
   default=(\getmarking[M])~
   first=(\getmarking[M][first])~
   last=(\getmarking[M][last])~
   previous=(\getmarking[M][previous])~
   both=(\getmarking[M][both])~
   all=(\getmarking[M][all])~
   current=(\getmarking[M][current])
\stopsetups

\setupheadertexts[text]
   [\setups{S}][]
   [\setups{S}][]
\setuppagenumbering[location=footer]

\starttext

\startbuffer
   \section{Knuth}
   \marking[M]{k1}\marking[M]{k2}
   \input knuth
   \section{Zapf}
   \marking[M]{z}
   \input zapf
\stopbuffer

\dorecurse{10}{\getbuffer}

\stoptext
-------------------------------------------------------

If I try the same example in columnset layout, only last variant works 
as expected:
-------------------------------------------------------
\definemarking[M]

\startsetups S
   default=(\getmarking[M])~
   first=(\getmarking[M][first])~
   last=(\getmarking[M][last])~
   previous=(\getmarking[M][previous])~
   both=(\getmarking[M][both])~
   all=(\getmarking[M][all])~
   current=(\getmarking[M][current])
\stopsetups

\setupheadertexts[text]
   [\setups{S}][]
   [\setups{S}][]
\setuppagenumbering[location=none]

\definecolumnset[C][n=3]

\starttext

\startbuffer
   \section{Knuth}
   \marking[M]{k1}\marking[M]{k2}
   \input knuth
   \section{Zapf}
   \marking[M]{z}
   \input zapf
\stopbuffer

\startcolumnset[C]
\dorecurse{10}{\getbuffer}
\stopcolumnset

\stoptext
---------------------------------------------------------------

(Focus on page 1 and 4)

Is there any idea how to fix this?

Yes, you are right. I check it on a real doc. And if no mark sign is in 
the last col, then marks from previous col(s) is taken.

It would be a great news if you succeed to fix it. I cross my fingers.

well, it's actually relatively easy to make that (works on my machine 
now) but as always .. how to interface best -)

and ... of course it takes some time to find all points where 
synchronization has to take place

Understand. I appreciate if upgrading the whole context distro will not 
be needed. I am afraid of something works differently - and there is no 
time to fix it. So some patches/file exchanges are feasible?

ok, you can uncross them; see separate mail

actually, the patch i sent you off-list is not that dangerous because

(1) it is written on top of the untouched low level mark handler
(2) it leaves the normal marks untouched

so it will end up in the distribution if you find no flaws

as usual the problem is in documenting it (i.e. when adding new things 
for you others may complain that the manual is way behind -)

not at all: \getmarking[A][all] does not swallow [A]

What does it mean   \global\mofcolumns\plusone
inside of setups in your test example? Is it really needed?

I put the info to tex-show (getmarking). I reminds me there are many 
items missing in the tex-show, the list is on the wiky - columnsets are 
among them.

All right, I read this parallel message just now... Perhaps due to I was 
working with crossing fingers all the time ;-)

well, keep 'm crossed because i'm shutting down now -) remind me to fix 
this (or add an item to the collector)
