Hello,
The \column command does not want to obey me ... The text following
\column simply jumps to the next page.
This time I cannot think of any workaround :(
Well, in the worst case I can still insert a table.
\starttext
\section{first}
\dorecurse{80}{dummy }
\startcolumns
\externalfigure[dummy][width=\textwidth]
\input tufte
\column
\input tufte
\stopcolumns
\input tufte
\stoptext
Thanks a lot,
Mojca

Hans suggested me to use columnsets, but those are spinning as well. \definecolumnset[two][n=2] \starttext \startcolumnset[two] \input tufte \column \placefigure{none} {\rotate[rotation=15]{\externalfigure[dummy][width=.8\textwidth]}} \stopcolumnset \startcolumnset[two] \placefigure{none} {\rotate[rotation=-10]{\externalfigure[dummy][width=.8\textwidth]}} \column \input tufte \stopcolumnset \stoptext Every columnset starts a new page.

One more question: how can I say "please keep this content together" when typsetting in columns on grid? \vbox behaves a bit weird, but most important: it does not align baselines properly.

I alweays fear using such constructs since I have a feeling that ConTeXt has something better to offer, but colums seem a bit problematic anyway. > You could also redefine to prohibit a pagebreak/columnbreak between > paragraphs but these things should be done in a local group. It needs to be done locally anyway. I just need to keep some portions together.
