I'm learning ConTeXt at the moment by trying to typeset a copy of my resume. I'd like the format to be something like this (view in fixed width):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDUCATION
WORK EXPERIENCE
ANOTHER SECTION
My first thought was to have "EDUCATION", "WORK EXPERIENCE", etc as unnumbered sections, and to arrange that section titles would appear in a (very large) left margin. But then I couldn't work out how to have "normal" margins for the top of the page containing my contact information and name. Margins appear to apply to the whole document. So I tried a hack using paragraphs in two columns. The left column is the section heading and the right column is the information. Example: \defineparagraphs[TwoColumns][n=2] \setupparagraphs[TwoColumns][1][width=1.5in] \startTwoColumns \tfb\ss Education \TwoColumns %% details for one degree here \blank[medium] %% details of another degree here \stopTwoColumns The problem with this is that this setup cannot break across pages, so when a section becomes too long it first starts on a new page and then runs off the bottom of that page. What is the right way to typeset this?
