Short question about big papersize

Short question about big papersize

[Diego Depaoli]

Hi all,
before start spend my time, can Context handle 6 (or 8) columns on a
70X100 cm papersize?

Cheers

yes, and if it's about a poster, just use columnsets then

many thanks, it works
However I get a weird behaviour.

\definepapersize[manif][width=986mm,height=660mm]
\setuppapersize[manif][manif]
\showgrid
\switchtobodyfont[14pt]
\definecolumnset[manif][n=6,distance=1.8cm]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[manif]
\dorecurse{100}{\input knuth}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext

Why last lines are empty?
I must specify in layout a textheight and a height bigger than the
papersize's height to fit the grid.
I'm missing such option?

Regards
