columnsets

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hello,

I have a question regarding columnsets:

==================================================
\definecolumnset[two][n=2]

%\setupcolumnset[two][1][width=4cm]
%\setupcolumnset[two][2][width=8cm]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[two]

\dorecurse{10}{\input tufte \par}

\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
==================================================

a) I keep getting a blank page after the columnset. How do I get rid
  of it?

b) the setupcolumnset has some effect (making columns smaller) but
   they are both the same width. Why?

i ran into that too, it's a bug (for the moment remove the \pagebreak in 
the stopcolumnset macro)

this is work in progress, has to do with synchronization; you cannot change 
the width mid-paragraph btw but it's supposed to (going to) work reasonable

[i messed up a few things when trying to handle balancing]

Can't something like this be implemented via appropriate
parshapes?
