Hi at all,
thank you for the replies. Im still not fully happy, but i get ahead.
\setuplayout[lines=40] seems to do the job and holds the text inside the area.
Zitat von Taco Hoekwater
\setuplayout[lines=40]
And you need
\setuplayout[grid=yes] % or grid=tolerant
to get \setupalign[line] to work.
With grid=yes or grid=tolerant the spacing between the paragraphs goes to one full line. Thats too much. What i want to achieve is to have each column spaced to the full height, but i need no grid inbetween. I only want to have the first and last line one the same height, and the paragraphs been spaced in the smallest possible amount. \showframe \setuptolerance[horizontal, verytolerant] \newskip\Hugeskip %\Hugeskip = 1em plus 8em minus 1em \Hugeskip = 4pt plus 16pt minus 0pt \definevspacingamount[Huge][\Hugeskip][\Hugeskip] % for \blank \definewhitespacemethod[Notsohuge]{\ctxparskip.5\Hugeskip} % for \setupwhitespace \setupalign[line] \setuplayout[grid=tolerant] \setuplayout[lines=41] %\showgrid \starttext \startcolumns[n=2, align=yes] \clubpenalty10000 \widowpenalty10000 \setupwhitespace[Notsohuge] %\setuplayout[grid=tolerant] \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth} \stopcolumns \stoptext Thanks, Achim
