Subject: direction in columnset (MKII)
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2010 17:39:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C28D031.6070801@jhnet.nl> (raw)

Hi all,

Is it possible to tell columnsets which column is the first one?
I use columnset in MKII to typeset Arabic text in a multicolumn layout 
and the text starts in the left column. Is there a nice way to force the 
text to start in the right column? Something like 
\definecolumnset[arabic][n=2,direction=right] doesn't work.
(A nasty, ugly hack is fine too ;-)

Example:

\starttext
\definecolumnset[arabic][n=2,direction=right]
\startcolumns[arabic]
Oeps. In Arabic the 'first' column is on the right: \input knuth
\stopcolumns
\stoptext

Thanks,

Jelle
