Hello,
I managed to resolve the issue - which turns out bcos I had 2 back2back
columnset definitions. So instead, I combined them into 1 and the result
was ok.
*Before (leads to blank page or page with symmetrical columns):*
\definecolumnset[2col][n=2, distance=3.5mm, page=no]
\setupcolumnset[2col:1][width=.65\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[2col:2][width=.35\makeupwidth]
\definecolumnset[3col][n=3, page=yes]
\setupcolumnset[3col:1][width=.25\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[3col:2][width=.30\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[3col:3][width=.45\makeupwidth]
\startcolumnset[2col]
...
\stopcolummnset
\startcolumnset[3col]
...
\stopcolummnset
*After (gets the desired result):*
\definecolumnset[summary][nleft=2, nright=3, distance=3.5mm, page=no]
\setupcolumnset[summary:1][width=.65\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[summary:2][width=.35\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[summary:3][width=.25\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[summary:4][width=.30\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[summary:5][width=.45\makeupwidth]
\startcolumnset[summary]
...
\stopcolummnset
Best,

Hello All,
I am new to this community and am really excited about the possibilities with ConTeXt.
My question is related to the thread - https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg92767.html (the suggested solution did not work, unfortunately)
After trying out various options, I am faced with these 2 (sub-optimal) choices -
1. Extra Blank page with Asymmetric Columns in the next page (with the \subject{} uncommented) 2. No Blank page with Symmetric Columns (with the \subject{} commented) 3. page=yes / no - does not work (same outcome as above)
I am not sure the role of \section or \subject in this matter (seems to be somehow interfering with asymmetrical columnset).
\usemodule[newcolumnsets] ...
% \subject{} \definecolumnset[soi1][n=3, distance=3mm, page=yes] % \definecolumnset[currency][n=3, page=yes] \setupcolumnset[soi1:1][width=.25\makeupwidth] \setupcolumnset[soi1:2][width=.30\makeupwidth] \setupcolumnset[soi1:3][width=.45\makeupwidth]
Any tips, help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. If not for columnset, is there any other way to get this type of layout?
Thank you,
