Re: [NTG-context] changing number of columns

As Hraban mentions it might be best to place the two tables with \placefigure + startcombination .. \stopcombination. If you want to stick to the columnsets and this is for this single page only, then you could place the spanning text in a \framedtext. The placefigure command must be place right after the \startcolumnset command. This you could place with \placefigure like this: \placefigure [btlr] [] {none} {\offset[y=-7cm]{\framedtext[width=\makeupwidth,offset=0pt,frame=off] {Zwar werden ...}}} With the offset you can move the text-box to the position you want it.

is it possible to change the number of columns on the same page?

Please read http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns

Thanks for your quickly answer.

I have read it, but there is no answer of my question. I know, that I can use "columns" instead of "columnset". It is not in my interest to find other solutions for this Problem, rather I wish to know: is it possible to use different numbers of columns on the same page if I use columnset!

It's not that easy. Please carefully read the columns manual, linked from the above page.

If you want to change between e.g. 2 and 3 columns, you can either define a columnset with 6 layout columns and put your text in spans of 3 or 2 of those layout columns or define two different columnsets like in the examples in chapter "Spanning and More".

Principally you should be able to use the old columns mechanism and change the number of columns in-page, but I don't know if you can make it work reliably.

Tis is a possibility, but if the following text [in my example b)] is a huge paragraph, it is not realizeable.

I give a sample for the problem on my neglected page "http://www.bk-tex.de/csetquest.html" [= (c)olum(set)-(quest)ion]

The text on the second page (see the pdf-file) should be placed in a short distance to the table.

I know that this is not the best method to handle this job but it shows good what I mean.
