there's also

%D \defineparallel[main][one,two]

Is it possible with this to make 2 columns, one language on the left, another language on the right?

maybe something \setupparallel [setups=parallel:place:mine] \startsetups parallel:place:mine \setups[parallel:place:default] \column[yes] \stopsetups \startmixedcolumns \placeparallel[main][one,two][criterium=all] \stopmixedcolumns there will be better support for that kind of things at some point ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Peter, Can you give please an example showing how to use your code? Thanks: OK On 31 juil. 2012, at 16:15, Peter Münster wrote:

I don't get the desired result with \placeparallel, but I've found a solution, that works quite well. I just can't place figures, that span the 2 columns, but that's no problem for my project.

Here the (not very contextish) solution (cld-file):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- local C = context local format = string.format

local function create_environment() local fp = io.open("env.tex", "w") fp:write([[ \startenvironment env

\def\ColumnDistance{1cm}

\startmode[columns] \definepapersize[columns][ width=\dimexpr (\textwidth - \ColumnDistance) / 2 \relax, height=\textheight] \setuppapersize[columns] \setuplayout[page] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setupalign[verytolerant, stretch, line] \setupwhitespace[small] \stopmode

\startbuffer[german] \it\dorecurse{15}{\dorecurse{20}{german }\par} \stopbuffer

\startbuffer[french] \bf\dorecurse{15}{\dorecurse{20}{french }\par} \stopbuffer

\stopenvironment ]]) fp:close() end

local function create_pages(s) local fp = io.open("pages.tex", "w") fp:write(format([[ \enablemode[columns] \environment env \starttext \getbuffer[%s] \stoptext ]], s)) fp:close() os.execute(format("context --result=pages-%s pages", s)) end

local function create_columns(l, r) local function pdf(x) return "pages-" .. x .. ".pdf" end create_pages(l) create_pages(r) local pdfobj = epdf.open(pdf(l)) local n = pdfobj:getNumPages() for i = 1, n do C.dontleavehmode() C.externalfigure({pdf(l)}, {page = i}) C"\\hskip\\ColumnDistance" C.externalfigure({pdf(r)}, {page = i}) C.page() end end

create_environment() C.environment(false, "env ") C.starttext() C"Before" C.page() create_columns("german", "french") C"After" C.stoptext() --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks Peter! It is a very nice piece of code, but could this be included in a TeX file? (Otherwise one cannot use something like TeXShop on a Mac to typeset the file). Best regards: OK On 31 juil. 2012, at 18:23, Peter Münster wrote:

Save it in "test.cld", then run "context test.cld". Then open "test.pdf" in a PDF-viewer.

If you wish to use TeXShop, you can set it up...in my typically kludgy way. This mimics the TeXShop setup for Context Standalone (see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone/Mac_Installation) and assumes that "context" is in your regular execution path. Create a new plain-text file in ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines -- call it whatever you like -- let's say "ConTeXt-CLD.engine". Add these lines ------------CUT HERE-------------- #!/bin/bash context --forcecld "$1" ------------CUT HERE-------------- This will create a ConTeXt-CLD menu item in the popup menu on new file windows. (You may have to restart TeXShop first.) You can select it and run Peter's column program. If you like, add these three lines to the beginning of your .tex file to force TeXShop to use ConTeXt-CLD: ------------CUT HERE-------------- --[[ %!TEX TS-program = ConTeXt-CLD ]]-- ------------CUT HERE-------------- A drawback is that your cld files will be masquerading as .tex files. But you can process cld files in TeXShop if you want to. Michael On Jul 31, 2012, at 5:46 PM, Otared Kavian wrote:

Also enclosing the code written by Peter between \startluacode …. \stopluacode in a TEX file does not allow to to typeset the file Good to know. ________________________________ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Thanks for the information: indeed the three lines above allow a CLD code in a TEX file to be typeset by ConTeXt, using the TeXShop engine created with your indications. By the way, as you guessed the third line can be either ]]-- or ]]
