Hi Jean-Pierre, You need to update your ConTeXt LMTX: the example works fine on MacOS when one has the version 2022.01.06 19:51. Best regards: Otared K.

Hi,

Maybe this is of interest to critical users:

\setupsynchronize [paralleltext] [color=darkblue] % \setupsynchronize [paralleltext] [style=\tx,color=darkred] % \setupsynchronize [paralleltext] [style=\txx,color=darkgreen]

\starttext

\dorecurse{10}{% \paralleltext {[een allereerste zinnetje]} {[een tweede zinnetje]}% \space \paralleltext {[een derde zin]} {[een vierde zinnetje]} \space } \removeunwantedspaces \par test line \page

\paralleltext {[\ignorespaces\samplefile{tufte}\removeunwantedspaces]} {[\samplefile{ward}\removeunwantedspaces]}% \par test line \page

\paralleltext {[\ignorespaces\samplefile{tufte}\removeunwantedspaces]} {[\ignorespaces\samplefile{tufte}\removeunwantedspaces]}% \par test line \page

\paralleltext {[\ignorespaces\samplefile{ward}\removeunwantedspaces]}% {[\ignorespaces\samplefile{tufte}\removeunwantedspaces]} \par test line \page

Kind of experimental and semi-automatic (triggered by question from collegue). I want to add some larger text sync points (just mark locations in two running texts) stuff but i have no examples.

I played a bit with it:

I guess it could be useful for short educational examples. If I needed this, I might have tried the steps module.

It doesn’t work with more than two versions, and the syntax is a bit verbose. in the next upload:
