Hi,
I'm currently reimplementing columnsets and I'm wondering how many users
there are of this mechanism. How bad is it if the more obscure features
go away and others show up.

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?
Patrick

i ran into that too, it's a bug (for the moment remove the \pagebreak in
the stopcolumnset macro)
>b) the setupcolumnset has some effect (making columns smaller) but

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]

I admit that this takes some wizardry to implement, especially if you take
into account that backgrounds should work in tables, tabulate, floats,
inside and outside text areas, obey indentation, left/rightskip, hanging,
nested backgrounds, multiple layers, etc ; this (still somewhat
experimental mechanism will be discussed in details.pdf).

Good evening.
Is somewhere any general manual for columnsets? Or some general demo in
english interface? I really like the concept but I don't know how to use it.
(Moreover, I've all examples Mr. Hagen sent me when my harddisk crashed.)
Many thanks and greetings,
M.K.

Here is some crude test file with layers and columnsets.
Perhaps you find out what you're looking for.
I don't really understand it any more... ;-)

ound,test}]
