Hi, I've been having issues with columns and \start(stop)bodymatter statements since I updated MacTeX to 2009. Here is a sample of code which works fine on MacTeX 2008 (tlmgr update'ed) version, and which crashes on MacTeX 2009.
Here's a simplified example that doesn't work with the latest ConTeXt version either. It seems like bug in "balance=yes" inside columnsets (might be just a missing \egroup) that only affects mkii (mkiv works fine, but not on TL 2009 :)
\definecolumnset [deuxcolonnes] [balance=yes]
\starttext %\startbodymatter
\startcolumnset[deuxcolonnes] \input tufte \stopcolumnset
%\stopbodymatter \stoptext
I leave it as an exercise to the others to spot the missing delimiter in mkii sources.
ok, i figured it out - when i split the code in mkii and mkiv i merged page-new.tex into page-set without noticing that the balancing code was just experimental and not even working currently - so, the balancing code in page-set is just a hook - in mkiv i had actually nilled the code so no error there we can do some manual balancing, like: \setupcolumnset [test-1] [balance=yes] \setupcolumnset [test-2] [balance=yes] \setupcolumnsetlines[test-1][1][1] [8] \setupcolumnsetlines[test-1][1][2][10] \startcolumnset [test-1] \dorecurse {1}{\input tufte \par} \stopcolumnset \startcolumnset [test-2] \dorecurse {2}{\input ward \par} \stopcolumnset ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
