Hi,
I'm sorry that the subject isn't clearer.
I'm learning ConTeXt at the moment by trying to typeset a copy of my resume.
I'd like the format to be something like this (view in fixed width):
<phone number> <email address><MY NAME IN LARGE SIZE> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDUCATION <Details>
<Details>
WORK EXPERIENCE <Details> <of> <most> <recent> <job> <many lines here>
<Details> <of> <another> <job>
<Yet another job>
ANOTHER SECTION <More information> <appropriate for this> <section>
My first thought was to have "EDUCATION", "WORK EXPERIENCE", etc as unnumbered sections, and to arrange that section titles would appear in a (very large) left margin. But then I couldn't work out how to have "normal" margins for the top of the page containing my contact information and name. Margins appear to apply to the whole document.
So I tried a hack using paragraphs in two columns. The left column is the section heading and the right column is the information.
Example:
\defineparagraphs[TwoColumns][n=2] \setupparagraphs[TwoColumns][1][width=1.5in]
\startTwoColumns \tfb\ss Education \TwoColumns
%% details for one degree here
\blank[medium]
%% details of another degree here \stopTwoColumns
The problem with this is that this setup cannot break across pages, so when a section becomes too long it first starts on a new page and then runs off the bottom of that page.
What is the right way to typeset this?
Use descriptions, it's possible to set a left margin and break the text across pages. Wolfgang
