The best command for parallel texts

The best command for parallel texts

[Martin Hasoň]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 856 bytes --]

Hi all,

I need to type parallel text on double columns. I've tried paragraphs,
tabulate, table and column environments. The best result of these options
gives the tabulate. Unfortunately, it does not respect alignment - many
\hbox errors in all environments except columns :(. What should I use and
set up?

\setuppapersize[A6][A6]
\defineparagraphs[TwoLang][n=2]
\setuptabulate[split=yes]
\setupalign[verytolerant,stretch]

\starttext

\startTwoLang
\input lorem
\nextTwoLang
\input davis
\stopTwoLang

\starttabulate[|p|p|]
\NC\input lorem
\NC\input davis
\NC\NR
\stoptabulate

\bTABLE[frame=off,align=yes,split=yes]
\bTR
\bTD[roffset=2mm]\input lorem\eTD
\bTD[loffset=2mm]\input davis\eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE

\startcolumns[n=2]
\input lorem
\column
\input davis
\stopcolumns

\stoptext

Best regards
Martin Hasoň

None of the table environments use the global alignment settings and
you have to set them again to get better results for the content.

Martin, have you tried streams?

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns#Streams

Under the examples you will find an example of a columnar, aligned streams  
setup - by Wolfgang.

Ok, needed a break from work, so for fun and for learning something new:

==============
\setuppapersize[A4][A4]
\defineparagraphs[TwoLang][n=2]
\setuptabulate[split=yes]
\setupalign[verytolerant,stretch]

\starttext
\showframe

\startoutputstream[one]
    \setupalign[flushleft]
    \framedtext[width=17.4em,align=verytolerant,stretch,frame=on,offset=overlay]
    {\input lorem }
    \hfill
    \par
\stopoutputstream

\startoutputstream[two]
    \setupalign[flushright]
    \hfill
    \framedtext[width=17.4em,align=verytolerant,stretch,frame=on,offset=overlay]
    {\input davis }
    \par
\stopoutputstream

\synchronizestreams[one,two]

\startoverlay
    {\raise2\strutdp\outputstreambox[one]}
    {\raise0\strutdp\outputstreambox[two]}
\stopoverlay
\startTwoLang
\input lorem
\nextTwoLang
\input davis
\stopTwoLang

\starttabulate[|p|p|]
\NC\input lorem
\NC\input davis
\NC\NR
\stoptabulate

\bTABLE[frame=off,align=yes,split=yes]
\bTR
\bTD[roffset=2mm]\input lorem\eTD
\bTD[loffset=2mm]\input davis\eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE

\startcolumns[n=2]
\input lorem
\column
\input davis
\stopcolumns

\stoptext
==============

The \raise2\strutdp etc. feels like a hack, Wolfgang knows better why it's  
needed, as as how and why the value for one stream affects the other..

There are a few half-finished mechanisms. There's also one based on 
parallel figures etc that Thomas and I still need to finish.
