Text streams

Text streams

["H. Özoguz"]

Hello there,

some motnh ago I asked for a possibility to set a book in Context 
bilingual (with a left and a right column on every page). This 
environment should allow of course page breaking etc. I got this answer 
(by Philipp Gesang):

So my question: Are text streams now available in MKIV?

Thanks.

I don't know. But there is another possibility here:

(see function create_columns() in main.cld)

The can be used for different content on facing pages but not for columns.
