Subject: [NTG-context] Page breaks with \defineparagraphs possible?
Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2023 10:02:13 +1200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87edmq3mze.wl-berend@pobox.com> (raw)
Dear all,
I've noticed that \defineparagraphs does not break across pages. That
would be a huge page saver in my case. Do I have any options for page
breaking across a set of parallel paragraphs?
Initially I just had a \hbox{\vtop{#1}\hfil\vtop{#2}} but obviously
that doesn't break, so went for more ConTeXt style, but couldn't see a
good mechanism.
Example file where you can see the entire paragraphs thing is put on the next page.
==================================================
\setuppapersize[A5]
\defineparagraphs[bilingual][n=2,tolerance=stretch,before=,after=,distance=\0.06\textwidth]
\setupparagraphs[bilingual][1][width=0.47\textwidth]
\setupparagraphs[bilingual][2][width=0.47\textwidth]
\starttext
\input tufte
\startbilingual
\input tufte
\nextbilingual
\input knuth
\stopbilingual
\stoptext
==================================================
--
All the best,
Berend de Boer
