Hi all, a somewhat belated happy new year to all of you! I’ve come across what seems to be a very old bug (I have found references to it in the mailing list from about 10 years ago): I get an unwanted page break after every column environment. Here’s an example with two different ones: \definecolumnset [mine] [n=2,balance=no,distance=1cm] \definemixedcolumns [mycolumns] [n=2,balance=no,distance=1cm] \starttext \input ward \startcolumnset [mine] \input ward \column \input ward \stopcolumnset \input ward \page \input ward \startmycolumns \input ward \column \input ward \stopmycolumns \input ward \stoptext Is this fixable? Thanks, and all best Thomas

that's how balance=no works: in that case \column will go to a next column but still fill to the bottom columnsets is actually not meant to be used mixed unless in controlled situations (maybe i will redo columnsets in mkiv some day) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

hmm, so is there a column environment that can be used in mixed situations? Thomas

When you use a columns environment you have to set „balance=yes“. Wolfgang

1 \startcolumns : when balance is yes 2 \startmixedcolumns : when balance is yes 3 \startcolumnset : when balance is yes but balancing is manual guess what ... columnized itemized lists use 1 in mkii and 2 in mkiv Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you, Hans and Wolfgang. I misunderstood what balance=yes does, but it seems to work now! Thomas
