Hello,
I tried columnsets today, and the following minimal example shows that
something is wrong with columnsetspans (which I wanted to use to make a
title).
\definecolumnset[main][n=2]
\definecolumnsetspan[title][n=2]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[main]
\startcolumnsetspan[title]
\input knuth
\stopcolumnsetspan
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?
BTW: is there a better way to have a title centered on the top of the
page and then text in columnsets?
Regards,

Update: it works fine in MkII, so I am afraid that it might be a bug.

Hello,
now that the ConTeXt meetting is over, I hope that someone looks into
this issue (note: I don't want to be rude or ironic or anything-I really
do appreciate you all helping us, poor users, on this list; but this
seems to be a bug in MkIV, so I hope it gets resolved somehow!)
Best,
Marcin
PS. As I wrote earlier, it works in MkII; in MkIV, instead of the span,
I get "cs:title][none] Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer
of a new system must not only be the..." in a frame, in one line (with
most of it disappearing to the right), spanning the columns.

Wow, that was quick, thanks!
Now the remaining problem is: when and where is this beta going to be
available? (I don't need it very soon, but am just curious-last
release notes on contextgarden are from May, I guess.)
Best,

Hi All,
I wonder if you can help:
I have been having a problem with \startcolumnsetspan when I was trying to create a magazine layout for a Uk psychodrama organisation.
Out of curiosity ( and in the hope i might learn something) i turned on tracing for a short example that gives the problem
here is the source of the test.
\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\definecolumnset[columntest][n=3]%
\definecolumnsetspan[wide][n=2]%
\starttext
\startcolumnset[columntest]
\input knuth
\tracingall
\startcolumnsetspan[wide]
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumnsetspan
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
of course it spewed out a huge log file but when looking at it i found this:
\dostartcolumnsetspan [#1][#2][#3]->\endgraf \vskip \zeropoint \bgroup \forgetall \ifnum \columnsetlevel >\zerocount \else \columnsetspanhsize \hsize \nofcolumns \plusone \mofcolumns \plusone \fi \setupframedtexts [cs:#1] [\c!width =\columnsetspanhsize , \c!linecorrection =\v!off , \c!depthcorrection =\v!off , #2]\!!countc \namedframedtextparameter {cs:#1}\c!n \!!countd \nofcolumns \ifnum \!!countc >\!!countd \!!countc \!!countd \fi \advance \!!countd -\mofcolumns \advance \!!countd \plusone \doif {\namedframedtextparameter {cs:#1}\c!alternative }\v!a {\ifnum \!!countc >\!!countd \!!countc \!!countd \fi }\setcolumnsetspanhsize \mofcolumns \!!countc \hsize \columnsetspanhsize \setbox \scratchbox \vbox \bgroup \dostartframedtext [cs:#1][\v!none ]\ifnum \columnsetlevel >\zerocount \namedframe
dtextparameter {cs:#1}\c!before \fi \unexpanded \def \stopcolumnsetspan {\dostopcolumnsetspan {#1}}
#1<-wide
#2<-
#3<-
{\par}
Lua linebreak_filter failed, reverting to default on line 9
Any ideas? my actual document exhibits the same sort of fault. It used to work before I had to update the minimals ( some time ago) when I moved to another computer and it failed then.
I must say I really like context and appreciate all the hard work that must have gone into it. I know that it is a large system and will take me some time to get to grips with.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Gordon

Hello,
The year is always 2011 and the French month août has wrong spelling:
\mainlanguage[fr]
\starttext
\date[d=23, m=3, y=1985]: must be \quote{1985}\par
\date[d=1, m=8, y=2011]: must be \quote{août}

Hi
I am fairly new to Context and as a way to learn I am working on a magazine layout for a an organisation to which I belong.
I was getting along well ( with information I got from the web site and the mail lists).
I am having a problem with \starcolumsetspan. Until a week or two ago it appeared to be working but I have just installed the minimals on a new machine and it no longer works with the latest version.
I found this example on the mailing list which give the same results:
\definecolumnset[columntest][n=2,balance=yes]
\definecolumnsetspan[wide][n=2]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[columntest]
\startcolumnsetspan[wide]
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumnsetspan
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
I'm just wondering if there is anything I might need to do to the above to get it to work?
Any help would be greatly appreciated but I am in no hurry for this and could wait until it gets fixed in the normal round of releases.
Cheers
Gordon
