Re: paragraphs in columns query

[Alan Bowen <acbowen@princeton.edu>]

Thanks, Hans. I have now tried

... preliminary text ....
\starttabulate[|p|p|]
\NC
long paragraph A
\NC
long paragraph B	
\NC\NR
\stoptabulate

on my setup (ConTeXt 2008.08.04 MK II) and on the wiki (ConTeXt  
2008.08.27 MK II).

On the wiki:
the  tabulated paragraphs do not follow upon the preliminary text  
immediately on the same page but start on their own page.

On my setup:
the  tabulated paragraphs do not follow upon the preliminary text  
immediately on the same page but start on their own page after some 22  
blank pages! (If I run ConTeXt again this number increases.) The  
entire document should be 6 pages long.

I am trying to update any version of ConTeXt---updates after  
2008.08.04 will not compile for some reason (I get format mismatch  
errors). So for now, if I could get this to work on the wiki that  
would be progress of sorts.
