[NTG-context] \startcolumns and \startcolumnset

Dear all,

I have a little problem to use “columns” in the following example.

If I use “\startcolumnset”, then I have the following problems:
	1. The figures is aligned left even though I use \startplacefigure[].
	2. In the second column, the first item located at the end of the page.
However, \vfill works, so I managed the items evenly spaced vertically.

If I use “\startcolumns”, then I have the following problems:
	1. \vfill doesn’t works, but \blank[] works. So, it isn’t easy to locate the items evenly spaced vertically.

Here are sample code and its outputs of two cases for comparison.

Any suggestions are welcomed.

Tomorrow is the New Years day in Lunar calendar.
Happy new year, again.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

Dear Dalyoung,

Have you tried 
\startsimplecolumns

\stopsimplecolumns
 instead of the columnset mechanism?

In your example I put the above commands and I got the attached PDF: is this what you want to obtain?

Best regards: Otared

Dear Otared,

Thank you for testing.

I run the sample after changing the column command to ‘\startsimplecolumns … \stopsimplecolumns’.

I got the same result as  your output. And it is same as the result using \startcolumns … \stopcolumns.

If ‘\vfill’ works, then it is OK for me, but it isn’t.

It works under the command “\startcolumnset … \stopcolumnset”.
But there are another problem under the ‘columnist’ command.

I’ll read the manual of columnset carefully.

Best regards,

Dalyoung
