is it possible to change the number of columns on the same page?

Please read http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns

Thanks for your quickly answer.

I have read it, but there is no answer of my question. I know, that I can use "columns" instead of "columnset". It is not in my interest to find other solutions for this Problem, rather I wish to know: is it possible to use different numbers of columns on the same page if I use columnset!

It's not that easy. Please carefully read the columns manual, linked from the above page.

If you want to change between e.g. 2 and 3 columns, you can either define a columnset with 6 layout columns and put your text in spans of 3 or 2 of those layout columns or define two different columnsets like in the examples in chapter "Spanning and More".

Principally you should be able to use the old columns mechanism and change the number of columns in-page, but I don't know if you can make it work reliably.

Tis is a possibility, but if the following text [in my example b)] is a huge paragraph, it is not realizeable. I give a sample for the problem on my neglected page "http://www.bk-tex.de/csetquest.html" [= (c)olum(set)-(quest)ion] The text on the second page (see the pdf-file) should be placed in a short distance to the table. I know that this is not the best method to handle this job but it shows good what I mean. Greetlings from Leipzig (Lipsia) Bernd

As Hraban mentions it might be best to place the two tables with \placefigure + startcombination .. \stopcombination. If you want to stick to the columnsets and this is for this single page only, then you could place the spanning text in a \framedtext. The placefigure command must be place right after the \startcolumnset command. This you could place with \placefigure like this: \placefigure [btlr] [] {none} {\offset[y=-7cm]{\framedtext[width=\makeupwidth,offset=0pt,frame=off] {Zwar werden ...}}} With the offset you can move the text-box to the position you want it.

Hraban forces the problem in a wrong way.

I wish the eliminination of the pagebreak after "\stopcolumnset". It is for me not of interest what contents the columns have.

I wish the following:

text text text < flow text text text text xxxxxx xxxxxx < /startcolumnset xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx < /stopcolumnset text text text < flow text text text text

and all of that on the same page by using "columnset".

Is it possible and if true, how is it possible.

You’re trying to solve your problem the wrong. You want according to your example two table side by side at the complete width of the page and the natural way to do is this is to insert a float which spans three columns, inside the float you can then place the two tables with a combination (or a table with two columns).

Unfortunately this will not work with columnsets. Those always use a complete page. So after stating \startcolumnset there is always a page break, as is after \stopcolumnset. If you intend to place text before and after the piece where you use two colums then you should think of another solution as mentioned by placing the columnpart in a float with combination.

Thank you Willy, this is a clear statement. So now I can plan my future jobs with "columnset" a little bit better. Bernd
