Dear readers.
Using ConTeXt MkIV.
I try to figure out how to use column sets such that one can place a
column seperately beside other columns. I did not found a way.
The setup for columnsets should look like a rotated U-shape
%% /Page 1 _________________\
%% +------+ +------+ +------+
%% | | |cset-1| |cset-1|
%% |cset-3| +------+ +------+
%% | |
%% | | +------+ +------+
%% | | |cset-2| |cset-2|
%% +------+ +------+ +------+
Text should flow inside cset-1 columns automatically, without need to
force column break by hand (like \column).
I get something like
%% /Page 1 _________________\
%% +------+ +------+
%% |cset-1| |cset-1|
%% +------+ +------+
%%
%% +------+ +------+
%% |cset-2| |cset-2|
%% +------+ +------+
%%
%% /Page 2 _________________\
%% +------+
%% | |
%% |cset-3|
%% | |
%% | |
%% | |
%% +------+
Is it possible to do with columnsets? Are there other ways without
columnsets?
Thank you for reading.
Regards,
Leonard Siebeneicher

My ConTeXt-File looks like
%% begin file
%% vvvvvvvvvv
\usemodule[visual]
\definecolumnset[cset-1][n=3,balance=yes]
\definecolumnset[cset-2][n=3,balance=yes]
\definecolumnset[cset-3][n=3,balance=yes] %% ???
\starttext\showgrid
\setupcolumnsetlines[cset-1][1][1][18]
\setupcolumnsetlines[cset-1][1][2][18]
\setupcolumnsetlines[cset-1][1][3][18]
\startcolumnset[cset-1]\dorecurse{2}{\column\fakewords{25}{50}}\stopcolumnset
\setupcolumnsetstart[cset-2][1][1][20]
\setupcolumnsetstart[cset-2][1][2][20]
\setupcolumnsetstart[cset-2][1][3][20]
\startcolumnset[cset-2]\dorecurse{2}{\column\fakewords{25}{50}}\stopcolumnset
%% Now lets return to line 1 on page 1 to overlap columns
\setupcolumnsetstart[cset-3][1][1][1]
\setupcolumnsetstart[cset-3][1][2][1]
\setupcolumnsetstart[cset-3][1][3][1]
\startcolumnset[cset-3]\dorecurse{2}{\fakewords{25}{50}}\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
%% Oops, a second page has been added

Dear readers,
I am not sure that I explained my goal that well. It is about using
context for a column-based monthly journal.
Trying to achieve similar layout with context as I achieved with
InDesign before, I ran into problems I cannot resolve.
The U-Shape overlaps columns in a way I cannot achieve, but this is
meant to be a simpler case of something more general.
AAAAAAAAAAAA | UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
|
AAAAA AAAAA | UUUUU IMAGE_IMAGE_ UUUUU
AAAAA AAAAA | UUUUU IMAGE_IMAGE_ UUUUU
AAAAA AAAAA | UUUUU IMAGE_IMAGE_ UUUUU
AAAAA AAAAA | UUUUU IMAGE_IMAGE_ UUUUU
AAAAA AAAAA | UUUUU UUUUU
-------------+ UUUUU UUUUU UUUUU UUUUU
BBBBBBBBBBBB | UUUUU UUUUU UUUUU UUUUU
| UUUUU UUUUU UUUUU UUUUU
BBBBB BBBBB | UUUUU UUUUU UUUUU UUUUU
BBBBB BBBBB | UUUUU UUUUU UUUUU UUUUU
BBBBB BBBBB | UUUUU UUUUU UUUUU UUUUU
BBBBB BBBBB | UUUUU UUUUU UUUUU UUUUU
BBBBB BBBBB | UUUUU UUUUU UUUUU UUUUU
It shows three articles (marked with letters A B and U).
I hope this email shows font in fixed width on your email-client.
You can see how columns are arranged. I do not have any idea how to
achieve such layout with ConTeXt at the moment.
On the current journal I layout it would be enough to achieve the
simpler rotated U-Shape.
Regards,
Leonard
