columns unexpected (odd) results

columns unexpected (odd) results

[Floris van Manen]

[-- Attachment #1.1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 581 bytes --]

Has anyone a solution / hint as how to get the linespacing correct when using columns ?

The first page works as expected,
but all the following pages have an unexpected mis-alignment  in the first column





The document itself is plain vanilla:


\starttext
\startlines
Testing 1971-04-26
\startcolumns[n=3]

+ 17271 \rightarrow\  2018-08-08
+ 17300 \rightarrow\  2018-09-06
+ 17371 \rightarrow\  2018-11-16

…


+ 39900 \rightarrow\  2080-07-22
+ 39993 \rightarrow\  2080-10-23
+ 40000 \rightarrow\  2080-10-30
\stopcolumns
\stoplines
\stoptext

Hi Henri,

I’m afraid that Floris is right. With latest beta and a simple
improvement to your file, I get wrong output:

    \starttext
    \startlines
       Testing 1971-04-26
       \startcolumns[n=3]
         \dorecurse{200}{+ 17271 \rightarrow\  2018-08-08
         }
       \stopcolumns
    \stoplines
    \stoptext

If the closing parenthesis is on the same line, the plus sign is
misplaced in the last item.

With the previous sample, the second page gets a wrong interline space
(between the third and the fourth item from the first column).

Hi,

Same problem I had. 

As a workaround,

\setuplayout[grid=yes]

helps.

Re: columns unexpected (odd) results

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Ending each line in a proper (e.g. by adding \par to finish the paragraph)
without the misuse the lines environment fixes the problem as well.

\starttext

Testing 1971-04-26

\startcolumns[n=3]
\dorecurse{200}{+ 17271 \rightarrow\  2018-08-08\par}

Not sure as how to tell why it is misusing the line environment.
But the suggested \par solution does not work.

Wolfgang,

as Florian reported, this doesn’t solve the issue.

On the second page, interline space between the third and fourth lines
from the first column is wrong.

The only way to fix it seems to enable grid composition. I don’t know
whether this might be a bug in ConTeXt.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

I saw only the wrong alignment of the last text line before \stopcolumns 
which can be fixed with \par.

Adding \strut at the begin of each text line does also fix the spacing.

I took only a brief look at Henris example where I saw only the wrong 
alignment
before \stopcolumns. What you can do to fix the vertical alignment 
without enabling
the grid is to add \strut at the begin of each line.

\starttext

Testing 1971-04-26

\startcolumns[n=3]
\startlines[command=\strut]
+ 17271 \rightarrow\  2018-08-08
...
+ 17271 \rightarrow\  2018-08-08
\stoplines
\stopcolumns

\stoptext

quick hack:

\unprotect

\unexpanded\def\page_otr_synchronize_page_indeed
   {\ifx\currentoutputroutine\s!multicolumn\else\clf_synchronizepage\fi
    \glet\page_otr_synchronize_page\page_otr_synchronize_page_yes}

\protect

Actually I don't see it here because i have

\definemixedcolumns
   [\v!columns]
   [\c!balance=\v!yes,
    \c!blank={\v!line,\v!fixed}]

\unexpanded\def\setupcolumns
   {\setupmixedcolumns[\v!columns]}

in a local test file (already for years so maybe it's time time to make 
that default)

(btw, pagecolumns are an other alternative)
