balanced vertical spaces under \startcolumnset

balanced vertical spaces under \startcolumnset

[Jeong Dal]

Dear all,

I use the following code to make test.
To make the same height blank spaces after the problems, I use \vfill before \column.
The problem is that the second \column creates extra blank page.
But, without the second \column, the height of blank spaces of the second column are different.

Is there a way to make the blank spaces height same while not to create a blank page?

Thank you for reading.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

Dear Jeong Dal,

I use the following functions to control the start and end of columns in a columnset:


\setuplayout[grid=yes]
\emptylines[...] % see the command \emptylines in ConTeXtgarden
\setupcolumnsetstart[...][...][...][...] % see the manual COLUMNS, page 9
\setupcolumnsetlines[...][...][...][...] % see the manual COLUMNS, page 9
%\showgrid % uncomment if you want to see the grid lines and line numbers

You find the manual COLUMNS under the heading 'Layout' on
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Manuals.

With kind regards,

Sytse

Dear Sytse Knypstra,

Thank you for your reply.

I read the manual “Columns” as you suggested.
The command \setupcolumnsetstart made a balanced output.
But my problem is little different from it.

I want exam paper of two columns in a page and  in each column 
 two problems located with the same space for solution.
In general, it worked well, except the solution space of the last problem.
Without \column, the heights of the two problems in the last column are different.
With \column, the heights are same, but it create another extra blank page.

It is not a big problem, but I wonder there is a solution.

Thank you for your concern.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

Maybe paragraphs work for you?

Dear Sytse,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I will check it. 

BTW, Use “\column” and don’t print a blank page is the simplest way.

Thank you again.

Best regards,

Dalyoung
