Pull quote between two column - trial
Hi all, hope you are all doing well. I am still trying to display pull quote between two columns. lmt_parshape is really helpfull. I need to add a 1pt gap to make the left column behave correctly, but the right column remains shifted one line below the intended one. Question1: any clue ? Question2: is there a way to use the columnset system to produce a similar output ? Thanks again for your feedbacks, Garulfo
some progress... if it can help. No more issue with nonsymetrical behavior, and \framed are properly aligned with the grid. Garulfo
That is progress, Garulfo, and real progress! I'm sorry I have not been any help to you in achieving this... a bit beyond my skill set. But I have long regarded this particular 'feature' to be a quite important 'missing' feature of ConTeXt, since I occasionally get requests from authors as to the possibility of including such pull quotes in multi-column presentations, and I have to tell them that to do so I need to use another program where that is more easily achieved. So, I just wanted you to know that someone out there appreciates your efforts with this, one of many I am sure. Julian On 29/5/22 04:25, Garulfo via ntg-context wrote:

to use pull quotes, I need to use the dimensions of the different elements to be typeset, before typesetting, in order to adapt the shapes of the flow accordingly. So here is just a basic code to 1/ get the dimensions of an item A that will be typeset, before it is actually typeset 2/ use these dimensions to define a item B that should be typeset before item 1 3/ typeset of item B and finally item A It is a quick and dirty solution. Please, could you help me to have a more elegant solution 1/ to replace "width=\measure{FTitleW}," by something more direct like "width=\GetDim{myframes}{FTitle} 2/ to replace context("\\definemeasure[#2W][" .. (n.width /65536) .. "pt]") by a more "luametatexish" formulation Le 28/05/2022 à 20:25, Garulfo a écrit :
