Re: [NTG-context] Columns with non-equal width; nested columns

25 Sep 2019

      Hello,

thanks for reaction - so I'm starting with column sets (@Wolfgang: text from column 2a may flow into 2b).

My code so far:

----
\definecolumnset[example][n=3,balancing=no]
\definecolumnsetspan[wide][n=2,background=contrast]

\setupexternalfigures[location=default]

\setuphead[subsubsubsubsubject][style=bold]

\starttext
   \startcolumnset[example]
     \startcolumnsetspan[wide]
       \externalfigure[hacker][width=95mm]
     \stopcolumnsetspan

     \dorecurse{2}{
       \subsubsubsubsubject{Sub}
       \input ward
     }

     \column
     \column

     \darkred
       \starttabulate[|rB|lp|]
         \NC a
           \NC
             AA
             \NC\NR
         \NC aa
           \NC
             AAA
             \NC\NR
       \stoptabulate
   \stopcolumnset
\stoptext
----

produces overlapping lines at the end of the first column.
- How to avoid this?

- Being in a columnset environment, is there a way to tell context "go to third column" (regardless in which column I am currently typing)?

- Altough I found some wiki material about column sets (e.g. https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupcolumnsetstart or columns.pdf), I found nothing about "page columns" - can you give me a link?

- All wiki examples use "1" at the place of "nesting level":

"
\setupcolumnsetstart[...][...][...][...]
[...] 	columnset name
[...] 	nesting level
[...] 	number of individual column in columnset
[...] 	starting line (1 = start at the top)

...

\setupcolumnsetstart[three][1][1][15]
                             ^
                             | ---------- HERE
"

Is there a sample which would use an other number? - I'm asking as I guess my task has to do with nested column sets.

Best regards,

Lukas

I need to get columns like this:

|  2a  |  2b  |    |
|      |      |    |
I tried the following:
----
\starttext
 \startcolumns[n=2] % How to tell that ratio between columns should be 2:1?
   \input knuth % Be 1a
Such a layout is not possible with simple old columns.
Try columnsets or page columns (see manuals of the same name).
