Thanks Hans. It did fix it. I am trying to add a figure now using \placefigure. But the placement in brackets is always ignored. AFAIK it's normal to get a figure at the top of a new page when it's larger than a column but it's also always on the left. I would like to get it horizontally centered (on the top of the next page as it is already). Any way to achieve that? Thanks again for your help. Charles On 02/06/2018 06:03 PM, Hans Hagen wrote:

Hi,

I am trying to get a two-column document with figures. After failing with \startcolumns, I tried with newcolumnsets. But the most basic example (see below) is not working properly. The text at the bottom of the first page gets overwritten by the first two line of the column.

I think this problem was also reported on Sept 22, 2016 by Jose Luis Arellano on this mailing-list.

Do you confirm the problem? Any way/plan to fix it?

Thanks so much for your help.

Best, Charles

% start of example \usemodule[newcolumnsets] \definecolumnset[example][n=2] \starttext \startcolumnset[example] \dorecurse{12}{\input knuth \par} \stopcolumnset \stoptext % end of example i'm not surew what goes wrong there but you can best run with

\setuplayout[grid=yes]

Here it is: \usemodule[newcolumnsets] \setuplayout[grid=yes] \setupbodyfont[10pt] \definecolumnset[example][n=2] \starttext \startcolumnset[example] \dorecurse{7}{\input knuth \par} \placefigure[center]{Legend.}{\hbox{\externalfigure[dummy][height=8cm]}} \dorecurse{8}{\input knuth \par} \stopcolumnset \stoptext On 02/08/2018 04:38 AM, Henning Hraban Ramm wrote:

Please show us your code, otherwise nobody can spot the problem.
