Subject: problem with columnsetspan
Date: Fri, 22 Jul 2011 11:34:42 +0100	[thread overview]

Hi All,

I wonder if you can help:

I have been having a problem with \startcolumnsetspan when I was trying to create a magazine layout for a Uk psychodrama organisation.

Out of curiosity ( and in the hope i might learn something) i turned on tracing for a short example that gives the problem





here is the source of the test.

\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\definecolumnset[columntest][n=3]%
\definecolumnsetspan[wide][n=2]%
\starttext
\startcolumnset[columntest]
\input knuth
\tracingall
\startcolumnsetspan[wide]
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumnsetspan
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext


of course it spewed out a huge log file but when looking at it i found this:



\dostartcolumnsetspan [#1][#2][#3]->\endgraf \vskip \zeropoint \bgroup \forgetall \ifnum \columnsetlevel >\zerocount \else \columnsetspanhsize \hsize \nofcolumns \plusone \mofcolumns \plusone \fi \setupframedtexts [cs:#1] [\c!width =\columnsetspanhsize , \c!linecorrection =\v!off , \c!depthcorrection =\v!off , #2]\!!countc \namedframedtextparameter {cs:#1}\c!n \!!countd \nofcolumns \ifnum \!!countc >\!!countd \!!countc \!!countd \fi \advance \!!countd -\mofcolumns \advance \!!countd \plusone \doif {\namedframedtextparameter {cs:#1}\c!alternative }\v!a {\ifnum \!!countc >\!!countd \!!countc \!!countd \fi }\setcolumnsetspanhsize \mofcolumns \!!countc \hsize \columnsetspanhsize \setbox \scratchbox \vbox \bgroup \dostartframedtext [cs:#1][\v!none ]\ifnum \columnsetlevel >\zerocount \namedframe
 dtextparameter {cs:#1}\c!before \fi \unexpanded \def \stopcolumnsetspan {\dostopcolumnsetspan {#1}}
#1<-wide
#2<-
#3<-
{\par}
Lua linebreak_filter failed, reverting to default on line 9


Any ideas? my actual document exhibits the same sort of fault. It used to work before I had to update the minimals ( some time ago) when I moved to another computer and it failed then.


I must say I really like context and appreciate all the hard work that must have gone into it. I know that it is a large system and will take me some time to get to grips with. 


Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
Gordon
