Subject: clutter with \start and \stop
Date: Wed, 04 Jul 2012 00:51:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fw98e9wl.fsf@micropit.couberia.bzh> (raw)

Hi,

Say I want Tufte in 2 columns and Knuth in 1 column:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\starttext
\startcolumns[n=2]
  \startsection[title=Tufte]
    \input tufte
  \stopsection
  \startsection[title=Tufte and Knuth]
    \input tufte
\stopcolumns
    \input knuth  % \startcolumns[n=1] knuth \stopcolumns does not work
\startcolumns[n=2]
    \input tufte
  \stopsection
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It works, but isn't this a bit ugly to mix up the \starts and \stops ?
In XML, that would be wrong.

Is this just the normal ConTeXt way, or is there a cleaner method?

TIA for any hints,
-- 
           Peter
