Hello For a publication project in phonetics and dialectology I'd like to print the phonetic transcription and the dialect text in a two column setup. I would be interested to use context for that (more flexibility than LaTeX), but every new paragraph is printed on a new page (as Henning Hraban Ramm posted earlier). Is there a work around other than using two pages? Thanks, Roman Universität Zürich Phonogrammarchiv Roman Sigg Rämistr. 71 8006 Zürich Fon +41 44 634 39 90 Fax +41 44 634 49 68 rosigg@access.uzh.ch http://www.phonogrammarchiv.uzh.ch

It doesn't seem possible - only if you control page/column breaks manually. Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

Hi, perhaps the streams module can help you? I use it to set texts and theirs translations on facing pages. You can find an example below. (It came over this list a while ago.) Kind regards Chris %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \usemodule[streams] \def\StartCouple{\page\SwitchToNormal} \def\StopCouple {\SwitchToNormal \SynchronizeLeftAndRight \FlushLeftAndRight} \def\Original {\SwitchToNormal\SynchronizeLeftAndRight\SwitchToLeft} \def\Translation{\SwitchToRight} %%So you put the part of your document where synchronization should %%take place between \StartCouple and \StopCouple. After that , %%\Original and \Translation switches between even and odd pages. \starttext \scale[width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,factor=fit]{\ss m-streams} \page \StartCouple \Original this is an original text \crlf \input knuth %\blank[1cm] \Translation THIS IS THE TRANSLATION \crlf \input tufte \Original \ss this is an original text \crlf \input knuth \Translation \ss THIS IS THE TRANSLATION \crlf \input tufte \StopCouple \stoptext

see streams startting at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns#Column_Sets -- luigi it's new . it's powerful . it's luatex . http://www.luatex.org

Luigi, Bert, you both completely miss that the OP already tried to use streams (see subject!) and can't achieve what he needs, i.e. streams in columns. That's simply not possible to get "automatically" (i.e. without manual breaking) with today's ConTeXt. Greetlings from Lake Constance!
