Distance between two Columns

Distance between two Columns

[Ursula Hermann]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 529 bytes --]

Dear List!

I have the following example. I would like to have two columns that are in the distance small. So I have tried:

\setuppapersize[A5]
\startcolumns
\defineframed
   [tightframed][width=5cm,width.1\textwidth,align=right]
\tightframed{Small}
\column
\tightframed{A really really long line that is split at 5cm}

If I take the example with only \tightframed, without the columns, I have the small distance, but I would like to have a left and right column with small distance.

Can someone help me please?

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. You want to change the
distance between the columns? That can be done with:

  \setupcolumns
    [distance=2cm]

1. Usually you don't define stuff in the main text. That's what the
   setup area (before \starttext) if for.
2. width is specified twice
3. width.1\textwidth is not valid, an = sign is missing

> \column

\stopcolumns is missing.

Furthermore, \start/stoptext is missing. That results in the
monospaced font. I'd write your example as follows:

\setuppapersize
  [A5]

\defineframed
  [tightframed]
  [width=5cm,
   %% width=.1\textwidth,
   align=right]

\setupcolumns
  [distance=.5cm]

\starttext

\startcolumns
  \tightframed{Small}
\column
  \tightframed{A really really long line that is split at 5cm}
\stopcolumns

\stoptext

Are you looking for something like the examples below?

\setupcombination
   [location=top,
    distance=\spaceamount]

\starttext

\startcombination[2*1]
	{\framed[width=5cm,align=flushleft]{Small}}{}
	{\framed[width=5cm,align=flushleft]{A really really long line that is 
split at 5cm}}{}
\stopcombination

\blank

\placesidebyside
	{\framed[width=5cm,align=flushleft]{Small}}
	{\framed[width=5cm,align=flushleft]{A really really long line that is 
split at 5cm}}

\blank

\bTABLE[width=5cm,align=flushleft,columndistance=\spaceamount]
   \bTR
     \bTD Small \eTD
     \bTD A really really long line that is split at 5cm \eTD
   \eTR
\eTABLE

\stoptext
