We've edited that page and the problem is gone. To see another example, consider page 61 of: http://msenux.redwoods.edu/IntAlgText/chapter1/chapter1.pdf On Aug 2, 2006, at 1:20 AM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

Hans et al, Any thoughts on this?

We are using:

\setupcolumns [tolerance=stretch, balance=yes, blank=flexible, rule=off, distance=2.5em]

However, once in a while we get column overflow. See page 55 on:

http://msenux.redwoods.edu/IntAlgText/chapter0/chapter0.pdf

I do not understand what the problem is. At a first glance, that page looks fine to me.

Thanks for trying, Taco. Appreciate the help. On Aug 3, 2006, at 1:00 AM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

Taco,

If the \column break works out ok, then I am not going to spend any more time on this, ok? No doubt there is a bug somewhere, but without a minimal file it will be extremely hard to track down anyway.
