There was a thread about columns and whitespace ~ 2 weeks ago, but I wasn't a subscriber then. I've just come across it independently myself. I'm not sure what conclusion was come to. From a few tests, I'd characterize the problem code in \startcolumns as: "if whitespace has been set to more than none, set whitespace to 'line'."
Try it by uncommenting various lines:
%\setupwhitespace[none] %\setupwhitespace[small]
\starttext
\startcolumns[n=2] %\setupwhitespace[small] \input knuth \stopcolumns
\stoptext
Do people agree with that characterization; has the bug been found; what's being done about it? I don't want to have to re-setup whitespace every time I go to columns.
\startcolumns[n=2,blank=medium] \input knuth \stopcolumns it's not a bug as by default columns are set up with blank={line,fixed} this has always been the case; as columns can be mixed with no columns we want the lines to align Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
