Hello Hans,
appologize my boring again with the same question about columnset
balancing. But I would like to know what is the current stage of this
feature. Seeing the code it seems to me some work in this direction was
done but due to very complex and tricky stuff I am not able to
recognize, how far from the goal it is.
Actually, what is my goal design?
+ two column layout
+ float spanning one or two columns
(both perfectly fullfilled by columnsets)
- each chapter head spans two columns
(it assumes stop columns, balancing, continuing on the same page without
pagebreak, put chapter head, start columnset on the rest of the page)
It is feasible or I will have to abjured this idea?
Thank you for your responce in advance.
Vit

It seems that the problem is caused by switch to \ss font family continueing to a place of the page break. Any explanation/suggestion?

Hans it is great! I have two next questions: 1) Am I missing something or columnsets do not provide balancing? ---------------------------------------- \definecolumnset[two] [n=2,balance=yes] \starttext \startcolumnset[two] \dorecurse{6}{\input knuth \endgraf} \stopcolumnset \input zapf \endgraf \stoptext ----------------------------------------- 2) Footnotes with settings \setupfootnotes[location=columns,rule=on] between \columnset do not draw rule. I discover it is due to missing \vbox. So this solve this problem for me, but it is not elegant and I do not know if it can caused some side effect: ------------------------------------------- \def\MyBeforeFootnote{\vbox\bgroup\blank} \def\MyAfterFootnote{\egroup} \setupfootnotes[ location=columns,rule=on,rulethickness=.4pt, before=\MyBeforeFootnote,after=\MyAfterFootnote, ] \unprotect \def\normalnoterule {\endgraf %% <--- add \ifvmode \color [\noteparameter\c!rulecolor] {\vrule \!!width .2\hsize \!!height\noteparameter\c!rulethickness \!!depth \zeropoint}% \kern\strutdepth \fi \endgraf %% <--- add } \protect \definecolumnset[col][n=2] \starttext \startcolumnset[col] \input knuth \footnote{Donald E. Knuth} \stopcolumnset \stoptext ------------------------------------------------ vit ======================================================= Ing.
