[NTG-context] Color in a Columntext, how does it work?

[NTG-context] Color in a Columntext, how does it work?

[Ursula Hermann]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 471 bytes --]

Dear List,

I have tried an example, where I would like to have sentences in color in a column, but there is something wrong.
\setuppapersize
  [A5]
\starttext
% hex
\definecolor=[MediumViolet][h=8F47B3]
\startcolumns[rule=on,n=2,tolerance=verytolerant, foregroundcolor=Mediumviolet]
Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer of a new
system must not only be the implementer and first
..
\bf D.E. Knuth}
\stopcolumns
\stoptext

Many thanks
Uschi

1. Use "x" as key to set the color with a hey value, while the "h" key 
works to set the color it is intended for hsv-values.

2. You have to replace "foregroundcolor=..." with "color=...".

3. You have to pass the correct name as argument to the color key but in 
your example you use an uppercase V in \definecolor but a lowercase v in 
\startcolumns.

4. Please test your example before you send them to the list because 
there is a } at the end of the text without a previous {.

You're missing the mandatory argument of \framed (or \Me in the 
example), i.e.

\Me[..,..=..,..]{}

But now I have a question:  I only need the columns, with white background and mediumviolet, sometimes black color, as textcolor, the topframe should be off. How can I do that?


Like this, example, after: Hallo das bin ich.

\starttext
\setupcolors[state=start]
\definetextbackground  [book]
       [state=start, topoffset=.5ex, location=paragraph,
        leftoffset=1ex,bottomoffset=1ex]

\starttextbackground[book]
  Tufte again
  \startcolumns[n=2]
    {Das bin ich}
\column
{Du}
  \stopcolumns
\stoptextbackground
\stoptext


Many thanks,

Uschi

1. Use "x" as key to set the color with a hey value, while the "h" key works to set the color it is intended for hsv-values.

2. You have to replace "foregroundcolor=..." with "color=...".

3. You have to pass the correct name as argument to the color key but in your example you use an uppercase V in \definecolor but a lowercase v in \startcolumns.

4. Please test your example before you send them to the list because there is a } at the end of the text without a previous {.

Wolfgang
