Re: [NTG-context] columns

      Thanks, 

But I think mixedcolumns has to solve a problem width the width of the frametext. Whereas boxedcolumns honors the width of the enclosing framedtext, mixedcolumns does not. See the example.

% NOT OK WIDTH NOT RESPECTED
\startframedtext[width=.8\makeupwidth,align=verytolerant]
\startmixedcolumns[n=2,separator=rule,balance=yes]
\input tufte
\stopmixedcolumns
\stopframedtext
\blank
% OK
\startframedtext[width=.8\makeupwidth,align=verytolerant]
\startboxedcolumns[n=2,separator=rule,balance=yes]
\input tufte
\stopboxedcolumns
\stopframedtext

I have some difficulties with columns inside a framedtext. The example below shows that columns does not work inside framedtext, whereas simplecolumns does. However, the latter does not show rules between the columns. Can I have both?
Is columns definitely not working here or is it temporarily until something is fixed? Or will simplecolumns be extended to show the rules?
% test columns within framedtext
\starttext
\startframedtext[width=\makeupwidth]
\startcolumns[n=2,rule=on,balance=yes]
\input tufte
\stopcolumns
\stopframedtext
\startframedtext[width=\makeupwidth]
\blank
\startsimplecolumns[n=2,rule=on,balance=yes]
\input tufte
\stopsimplecolumns
\stopframedtext
\stoptext
The new mixedcolumns environment can be used to the typeset columns in a frame.
There is also a predefined bolxedcolumns environment which changes the width of
the columns when you use it in \startframed etc.
\setupalign[verytolerant]
\starttext
\startboxedcolumns[separator=rule]
\input tufte
\stopboxedcolumns
\startframedtext[width=max,align=verytolerant]
\startboxedcolumns[separator=rule]
\input tufte
\stopboxedcolumns
\stopframedtext
\stoptext
