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?
