Parallel texts

Parallel texts

[Steffen Wolfrum]

Hi,

I am looking for a way to typeset bilingual text as parallel text,  
keeping each paragraph opposite the corresponding paragraph (left/ 
right page).

The ledpar package from the ledmac bundle does this (I was told).


How can this be done with ConTeXt?


Thanks,

Steffen

Maybe streams.

Right! Idris started a thread on parallel texts called "Streams" in  
March, 7th.
But this thread never received any answer ... o(

True, but there is a m-streams module in the distribution. Hans was  
experimenting with these once upon a time and you can check them out. I  
think luigi was referring to that.
