Column Width

Column Width

[Thangalin]

Hi,

According to the columns manual, the following should produce a
two-column layout with the first column being 1/3 and the second
column being 2/3 the makeupwidth:

\definecolumnset[example][n=2]
\setupcolumnset[example][1][width=.33\makeupwidth]
\starttext
  \startcolumnset[example]
    \dorecurse{25}{\input knuth\column[local]}
  \stopcolumnset
\stoptext

Using: mtx-context     | current version: 2014.01.03 00:40

What is the simplest example to achieve two different column widths
for a columnset?

(The Paragraphs example on the wiki --
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns#Paragraphs -- works, but I need
the flexibility of column sets.)

Thank you!

Re: Column Width

It seems a few examples from the columns manual --
http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/columns.pdf -- are broken.
Here is another (from page 34):

\definecolumnset[example][n=3]
\definecolumnset[therest][n=4]
\setupcolumnset[example]
\setupcolumnset[therest] [distance=.5cm] [distance=.5cm]
\setupcolumnset[example]
\setupcolumnset[therest]
   [width=\dimexpr((\makeupwidth-1.5cm)/4)]
  [width=\dimexpr((\makeupwidth-1.5cm)/4)]
\setupcolumnset[example][1]
  [width=\dimexpr(\makeupwidth-1.0cm-2\dimexpr((\makeupwidth-1.5cm)/4))]
\starttext
  \startcolumnset[example,therest]
    \startcolumnmakeup
    \vfill \input knuth
    \stopcolumnmakeup
    \column[local]
    \dorecurse{25}{\input knuth\par}
  \stopcolumnset
\stoptext
