in \setupcolumns, what is ntop=<number>
From the source: the minimum number op balanced top lines
Consider \starttext \startcolumns[n=2,ntop=15,balance=yes] \dorecurse{20}{This is a test line to check for balancing. } \stopcolumns \page \startcolumns[n=2,ntop=5,balance=yes] \dorecurse{20}{This is a test line to check for balancing. } \stopcolumns \stoptext
This seems to be a binary switch, right? no difference in your example between ntop=15 and ntop=13. Patrick
