Subject: startcolumns: text runs into footer
Date: Sun, 19 Dec 2010 13:09:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D0DF60F.1090303@jander.de> (raw)

Hi at all,
now I've run into the next problem: Trying to set text in 2 columns. 
Even in the simples case:

\showframe

\starttext

\startcolumns

\dorecurse{20}{\input knuth}

\stopcolumns

\stoptext


The text goes ca 1 line into the footer-region. I played around with 
various settings (blank, align=yes, setupwhitespace etc), but can not 
figure out
how to keep the text in the main area only.
Another related question: for which purpose is the columns setting in 
setuplayout? It doesnt seem to affect the output?
And still another question: how can i fine-control the amount of 
whitespace, especially the strechability and shrinkability?
is \setupwhitespace[2pt plus 2pt minus 2pt] the right way? And how is 
the equivalent syntax for \blank?

Thanks,
Achim
