Hi all,
a somewhat belated happy new year to all of you!
I’ve come across what seems to be a very old bug (I have found references to it in the mailing list from about 10 years ago): I get an unwanted page break after every column environment. Here’s an example with two different ones:
\definecolumnset [mine] [n=2,balance=no,distance=1cm]
\definemixedcolumns [mycolumns] [n=2,balance=no,distance=1cm]
\starttext
\input ward
\startcolumnset [mine]
\input ward
\column
\input ward
\stopcolumnset
\input ward
\page
\input ward
\startmycolumns
\input ward
\column
\input ward
\stopmycolumns
\input ward
\stoptext
Is this fixable? Thanks, and all best
Thomas

that's how balance=no works: in that case \column will go to a next
column but still fill to the bottom
columnsets is actually not meant to be used mixed unless in controlled
situations (maybe i will redo columnsets in mkiv some day)

hmm, so is there a column environment that can be used in mixed situations?

When you use a columns environment you have to set „balance=yes“.

1 \startcolumns : when balance is yes
2 \startmixedcolumns : when balance is yes
3 \startcolumnset : when balance is yes but balancing is manual
guess what ... columnized itemized lists use 1 in mkii and 2 in mkiv

Thank you, Hans and Wolfgang. I misunderstood what balance=yes does, but it seems to work now!
