Side-by-side framed text blocks

Side-by-side framed text blocks

[honyk]

Dear All,

I'd like to type two blocks of text with different 'align' settings side by
side.

A desired output can be found e.g. in examples 1.9-1.10 in
http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/style.pdf

Here blocks have a background instead of frames though. Both variants are
acceptable for me.

I am lost in various text box, framing or columns switches and unable to
create something similar.

Thanks, 
Jan

Here's one way to do it:

\setupframed
  [offset=1ex,
   width=8cm,
   frame=off]

\starttext
  \placesidebyside
    {\startframed[align={normal,left}]  \input knuth\par\stopframed}
    {\startframed[align={normal,right}] \input knuth\par\stopframed}
\stoptext

thanks for this. I removed that framed=off option and it turned out to be sligthly different from what I'd like to achieve. 

My goal is to have two blocks with a vertical gap between them and to have these blocks framed (or with the colored background) at the text area - without the cell spans - to show differences between the standard and 'hanging' alignments (that right border should cross the punctuation in the hanging mode).

Below each 'column' I'd like to place a short description (centered) - exactly as on the referenced examples.

Jan

Use a combination for that:

\setuptolerance
  [verytolerant]

\setupframed
  [offset=none,
   width=8cm,
   frame=off,
   background=screen]

\definefontfeature
  [default]
  [default]
  [protrusion=pure]

\starttext

\startcombination
  \startcontent
    \startframed [align=normal]
      \input knuth
    \stopframed
  \stopcontent
  \startcaption
    Some description
  \stopcaption
  \startcontent
    \startframed [align={normal,hanging}]
      \input knuth
    \stopframed
  \stopcontent
  \startcaption
    Some description
  \stopcaption
\stopcombination

\stoptext

Thanks, it helped a lot!

I've added this to control the gap (width) between text blocks:
\startcombination[distance=2cm]

And placed following commands inline to suppress the first whitespace character. I like your indentation, but on my Windows (CR+LF) it is suboptimal. Or is there any option for this?

\startframed [align=normal]\input knuth

Thanks, Jan
