Dear list, I have this sample: \showframe \startsetups[footers] \starttabulate [|cw(.5\textwidth)| cw(.5\textwidth)|] [unit=0pt] \NC one\NC two\NC\NR \stoptabulate \stopsetups \setupfootertexts[\directsetup{footers}] \starttext \dorecurse{20}{\input{zapf.tex}\par} \startitemize[columns, two] \dorecurse{20} {\startitem\input{zapf.tex}\stopitem} \stopitemize \startitemize[columns, three] \dorecurse{15} {\startitem\input{zapf.tex}\stopitem} \stopitemize \startitemize[columns, four] \dorecurse{10} {\startitem\input{zapf.tex}\stopitem} \stopitemize \stoptext How can I avoid that tabulation alters the \textwidth so that it remains constant and item columns doesn’t afect it?
