Dear readers. Using ConTeXt MkIV. I try to figure out how to use column sets such that one can place a column seperately beside other columns. I did not found a way. The setup for columnsets should look like a rotated U-shape %% /Page 1 _________________\ %% +------+ +------+ +------+ %% | | |cset-1| |cset-1| %% |cset-3| +------+ +------+ %% | | %% | | +------+ +------+ %% | | |cset-2| |cset-2| %% +------+ +------+ +------+ Text should flow inside cset-1 columns automatically, without need to force column break by hand (like \column). I get something like %% /Page 1 _________________\ %% +------+ +------+ %% |cset-1| |cset-1| %% +------+ +------+ %% %% +------+ +------+ %% |cset-2| |cset-2| %% +------+ +------+ %% %% /Page 2 _________________\ %% +------+ %% | | %% |cset-3| %% | | %% | | %% | | %% +------+ Is it possible to do with columnsets? Are there other ways without columnsets? Thank you for reading.
