Layout module

Layout module

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Hi Patrick,

I have two points which should be changed in your module:

1. Use simplecolumns for the text and
2. limit the width for the two columns to the width of the figure

because this looks better in a float and the complete graphic can be  
centered on the page or you change this only inside floats.

\usemodule[t][layout]
\starttext
\placefigure{}{\ShowLayout}
\stoptext

Can you add the module also to the minimals?

Wolfgang

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll have a look this week. I will report
back.

I will ask Mojca for that, but only if she has time.

I don't have time, but adding a module is not a problem (I overlooked
the request before Patrick mentioned it). Though the module is so
simple that you could almost bribe Hans to add it to the core.

No problem, I installed it now in texmf-local by hand.

I think this is wasted effort because ConTeXt comes with layout module
and it's sometimes very hard to convince Hans to include user code.

Don't hesitate, it's nothing I need at the moment.

And since you'll definitely have lots of problems to upload a new
version of your module to the garden, you can try to figure out how to
set up git server on the garden at the same time (or at least we could
switch to svn).
