Hi all,

I’m just forwarding this to the ml as I can’t help any further and I’d like to know the answer too.

@Achim: have you tried locally chopping off a line from the text area with “\[start|stop]columns”? Something like this:

··8<·····························································

\newdimen\Reducedtextheight \let\Reducedtextheight\makeupheight \advance\Reducedtextheight-\baselineskip \setuplayout[height=\Reducedtextheight]

··8<·····························································

Not a clean solution, but it might still get you what you want.

\setuplayout[lines=40]

And you need \setuplayout[grid=yes] % or grid=tolerant to get \setupalign[line] to work. Best wishes, Taco

Hi again, I played around a litte, and i'm coming nearer to the result i desire. The example: \showframe \setuptolerance[horizontal, verytolerant] \definewhitespacemethod[Test]{\ctxparskip 0pt plus4pt minus0pt} \setupalign[line] %\setuplayout[grid=yes] \setuplayout[lines=41] %\showgrid \starttext \startcolumns[n=2, align=yes, balance=yes] \clubpenalty10000 \widowpenalty10000 \setupwhitespace[Test, flexible] %\setuplayout[grid=tolerant] \dorecurse{10}{\input knuth} \stopcolumns \stoptext is a big step in the right direction. Pages 1 & 2 are perfect now, but I wonder, why on page 3 there is such a big space in the right column. (the space is needed to adjust the columns, but they are not really exact adjusted??) Are there any ideas for improvement? Thanks, Achim Zitat von achim@jander.de:

Hi at all, thank you for the replies. Im still not fully happy, but i get ahead. \setuplayout[lines=40] seems to do the job and holds the text inside the area.

And you need

\setuplayout[grid=yes] % or grid=tolerant

to get \setupalign[line] to work.

With grid=yes or grid=tolerant the spacing between the paragraphs goes to one full line. Thats too much. What i want to achieve is to have each column spaced to the full height, but i need no grid inbetween. I only want to have the first and last line one the same height, and the paragraphs been spaced in the smallest possible amount.

\showframe

\setuptolerance[horizontal, verytolerant]

\newskip\Hugeskip %\Hugeskip = 1em plus 8em minus 1em \Hugeskip = 4pt plus 16pt minus 0pt

\definevspacingamount[Huge][\Hugeskip][\Hugeskip] % for \blank \definewhitespacemethod[Notsohuge]{\ctxparskip.5\Hugeskip} % for \setupwhitespace

\setupalign[line] \setuplayout[grid=tolerant] \setuplayout[lines=41]

%\showgrid \starttext

\startcolumns[n=2, align=yes]

\clubpenalty10000 \widowpenalty10000

\setupwhitespace[Notsohuge]

%\setuplayout[grid=tolerant]

\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth}

\stopcolumns

\stoptext

Thanks, Achim
