Hi again, I’m testing columns again, and before I publish an article on the subject, I’d like to check with you. Find attached my testing environment, env_test.tex, and columns.tex, a "product", as well as the result of compiling with —mode=oldcolumns,grid and —mode=grid The "oldcolumns" example shows the result of \usemodule[old-columns] and looks like it should. The new columns code still has errors: Previously it wasn’t possible to start (new) columns mid-page, i.e. after an image or chapter/intro like in the example. This works now (progress!), but the pre-columns stuff is still shifted to the right. (And I don’t know where the yellow box comes from.) Additionally, footnotes in old-columns use the whole width and don’t interfere with the text columns, while in new columns, footnotes start in their column but use the whole width anyway and thus interfere with the main text. I tried \setupnotes[footnote][location=columns] (and other options) but saw no change. Many more options to check… Best, Hraban

Hi Hraban, the attachment are >100K, I have made an exception but please try to stay under 100K next time. -- luigi

Many more options to check… yes but best check them indepedently (i have to turn these into small simple examples only settigm things that matter)
anyway, the shift at the top is a side effect of tracing options enabled: \gdef\page_grids_add_to_mix_indeed#1% {\begingroup \resetvisualizers \global\setbox#1\vpack{\noindent\backgroundline[layout:mix]{\box#1}}% \endgroup} needs an \noindent (or maybe a forgetall elsewhere but that is more drastic) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, just a remark: \startlinecorrection \stoplinecorrection is meant for stuff like \startlinecorrection \framed{....} \stoplinecorrection \startlinecorrection \externalfigure[...] \stoplinecorrection \startlinecorrection \startMPcode ... \stopMPcode \stoplinecorrection in the main text flow, i.e. boxed material with some visual boundary, which then gets boxed again with some heuristic before/after spacing and therefore it will not work well when hooked into before/after for heads and such that do their own spacing ... it's simply not meant for that (and its behaviour will not change) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
