Hi all, I am happy to share one way to get "pull quotes between two columns" (in a three columns layout). https://wiki.contextgarden.net/images/5/50/context_3columns_layout.pdf It's not based on Columns / ColumnSet / Page Columns. It just combines \startuseMPgraphic + build_parshape + \framed + \getshapetext (and several precautions regarding offsets, thicknesses, spacings, dimensions, box positioning...) It's not used in this case, but I discovered that \placelocalfootnotes and \reference \at \in etc... are fully functional with \getshapetext :-) The resulting layout isn't as complex as a newspaper, but a lot can be done (at the cost of some investment, but really, it's not that hard). LuaMetaTeX is definitely fun and pretty. Thanks devs and community. =====> One question <===== Would it be possible to define several shapetex like \startshapetex[NAME1], \startshapetex[NAME2], in order to alternate the use of \getshapetext[NAME1] and \getshapetext[NAME2] because currently only one can be active at a time ?

Hi all,

what would be the prefered way to typeset pull quotes (with \startcolumns or even \startcolumnset if needed) between 2 columns.

Examples: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/45709/how-do-you-create-pull-quotes https://www.societal.fr/sites/societal/files/old_site/societal-46-6-boiteux-...

Thanks for your ideas and solutions.
