Hi,
I am trying to typeset a text which should look roughly like that:
|-----| |-----| |------| |text | |text | |text | | | |-----| | | |-----| | | |-----| | | |-----| |text | | | |text | |-----| |------| | | | | |-----| |------| | | |text | |text | |-----| |-----| |------|
So I have a frames with some text (actually, addresses - Hans, maybe you remember the address booklet I showed you here in Darmstadt) in three columns. So I tried something like:
\startcolumns[n=3] \framed{first address...} \vskip 0.5cm plus 1fill \framed{second address...} \vskip 0.5cm plus 1fill \framed{third address...} . . . \stopcolumns
Which (obviously because I use TeX code inside ConTeXt - shame on me) fails, the frames are not aligned at the bottom. So I'm looking for a way to typeset them with a distance of at least 0.5cm and align at the bottom - the remaining space should be spread equally... I hope the question is understandable and I hope someone has already done something like this...
Greetings, ALeX Now I haven't. But there is another approach to this. There is an arranging

It is usefull to start texshow :-) Gruss Willi
