Maybe I miss something, but it looks there is no rule=on command for use in columnsets? I just want a vertical line between the columns in my columnset, how do I get that?
Answering myself: I have found this solution, using an MP background: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20080305.203901.d1d3eccf.en.html
%sample% \definecolumnset[example][n=3,distance=5mm]
\startuseMPgraphic{columnrule} path p ; p := unitsquare xyscaled (OverlayWidth+5mm,OverlayHeight) ; draw lrcorner p -- urcorner p ; setbounds currentpicture to p ; \stopuseMPgraphic
\startuseMPgraphic{columnrule} path p ; p := unitsquare xyscaled (OverlayWidth+5mm,OverlayHeight) ; draw (xpart(urcorner p),ypart(urcorner p)-\the\dimexpr\noflines\lineheight\relax) -- urcorner p ; setbounds currentpicture to p ; \stopuseMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[columnrule][\useMPgraphic{columnrule}]
\setupcolumnset[example][1,2][background=columnrule]
\setupcolumnsetlines[example][2][1][-26] \setupcolumnsetlines[example][2][2][-26] \setupcolumnsetlines[example][2][3][-26]
\starttext
\startcolumnset[example] \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth} \stopcolumnset
\stoptext %/sample%
The only problem is that the height of the columnrule is fixed, which doesn't look right with balanced columns :-( Would it be possible to force this MPgraphic{columnrule} to use the actual height of the balanced columns, instead of going all the way down to the bottom of the page regardless of the actual column height? Or should I give up on this question? (I'm on MkII/XeTeX for this project, so no lua based solution possible.)
Many thanks,
Jelle
