I am attempting to emulate a layout of a customer's book that was set in InDesign. I have columns inside a \textframe inside an \intermezzo. I can't get the columns to break. I get one long column and the seocnd column is blank. here is my code: --------------------------------------- \setupframed[framecorner=round, frameradius=1em, background=screen, backgroundscreen=0.70, backgroundcorner=round, backgroundradius=1em, corner=round, radius=1em] \starttext \placeintermezzo[center,none]{} \starttext \startframedtext[] [width=\hsize] \centerline{\ss\tfb Interest in Green, Organic, and Local Foods Is Exploding} \definecolumns[example][n=2] \startcolumns[example] Organic foods, locally sourced foods, and sustainable living or "green" enterprises have become part of our mainstream lifestyles. Organic foods are produced without the use of conventional pesticides, artificial fertilizers, human waste, or sewage sludge and are processed without ionizing radiation or food additives. There is a growing belief that eating \column organic is better for our bodies and better for the planet. Green food producers and processors are becoming increasingly environmentally friendly. More importantly, data suggest that these markets have exceeded 60 percent in compound annual growth. This suggests a significant demand that specialty food entrepreneurs can meet. \stopcolumns \stopframedtext \stoptext Is this combination of features a bridge too far? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!
