Hello
For a publication project in phonetics and dialectology I'd like to
print the phonetic transcription and the dialect text in a two column
setup. I would be interested to use context for that (more
flexibility than LaTeX), but every new paragraph is printed on a new
page (as Henning Hraban Ramm posted earlier). Is there a work around
other than using two pages?
Thanks,
Roman

Hi,
perhaps the streams module can help you? I use it to set texts and theirs translations on facing pages. You can find an example below. (It came over this list a while ago.)
Kind regards
Chris

\FlushLeftAndRight}
\def\Original {\SwitchToNormal\SynchronizeLeftAndRight\SwitchToLeft}
\def\Translation{\SwitchToRight}
%%So you put the part of your document where synchronization should

%%\Original and \Translation switches between even and odd pages.
