Dear list,

Is there a way to adjust the vertical rule which is set between columns?
I tried the obvious keys, but they do nothing.

\starttext
\startcolumns
[
n=2,
rule=on,
rulecolor=red,% does nothing
rulethickness=5pt,% does nothing
]
\input knuth
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
You can use mixedcolumns.

\starttext
\startmixedcolumns[separator=rule,rulecolor=red,rulethickness=5pt,balance=yes]
  \input knuth
\stopmixedcolumns
\stoptext

Furthermore, is there a possibility to control the appearance of the
rule per column as in the following (fictitious) commands?

\setupcolumns[1][rulecolor=red,rulethickness=5pt]
\setupcolumns[2][rulecolor=green,rulethickness=1pt]
AFAIK this is not possible.
