Hello list,
in the following minimal working example (using Mark IV), the \column
command is ignored. It works if the grid is disabled or balance=no is
set. I need the grid, and regarding the balance: without balance, the
columns use the whole type area height, but I want additional text to
appear underneath the columns. The height parameter doesn't seem to
control the columns' height. So my question is: How can I make \column to
work or how can I at least set the column height as a workaround?
\setuplayout[grid=yes]
\starttext
\startcolumns%[balance=no]
left
\column
right 1\\right 2
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
Kind regards,
Joshua

Use mixed columns:
\setuplayout[grid=yes]
\starttext
\startmixedcolumns
left
\column
right 1\\right 2
\stopmixedcolumns
\stoptext

Thank you very much, this works! Now I wonder what the difference
between regular and mixed columns is. I have not found any information
about it; mixed columns aren't even mentioned in the manual. Can you
tell me where to find a description?
I have an additional problem with columns: If I set distance=
\baselineskip, it is bigger then \baselineskip. Even with distance=0pt,
there is still a gap, maybe because of some minimum distance value. How
can I get a smaller distance?
Kind regards,
Joshua

Mixed columns are a rewrite of the old columns mechanism.
It would ha been possible to use the new code for \startcolumns
but Hans restrained himself from doing this because the new code
produces a different output and ou have to force the new mechanism
with \startmixedcolumns to use it.
A advantage of the new environment is that you can use
it in \startframedtext (with a few restrictions) where the old mechanism
has failed.

Do you have a example because there isn’t an space between the columns
when you use “distance=0pt”.
\starttext
\startmixedcolumns[distance=0pt,separator=rule]
\dorecurse{1000}{i }
\stopmixedcolumns
\stoptext
