Hi there,

I'm experiencing a weird result when typesetting columns:

\starttext
The first line not using columns.
\startcolumns[n=2]
\input knuth
\column
\input tufte
\stopcolumns
The second line not using columns.
\startcolumns
\input linden
\column
\input ward
\stopcolumns
\stoptext

I don't know why ward isn't typeset on the first page?

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks for your help,


Pablo

the ward text in on the next page ... \column is not that robust a 
command (a future version might be better)

Thanks for your reply, Hans.

I wondered whether I could emulate columns with xtable, but it seems it
isn't possible to have a cell in two different pages.

Thanks for your help,
