Of course, many thanks to everyone who made it possible.

I wonder whether an extra challenge for column sets would be the use of foot- and linenotes.

they already can do footnotes

Sorry, I tried and failed: \showframe\showgrid \starttext \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \setuplayout[grid=yes] \setupwhitespace[none] \setupindenting[always, none, 0pt] \setupheads [indenting=none, indentnext=no] \startsetups balance:example \balancetopskip \strutht \balancebottomskip \strutdp \stopsetups \definecolumnset [paral] [n=1, ] \definesubcolumnset[paral][L][1] \definesubcolumnset[paral][R][2] \page[even] \startcolumnset[paral] \dorecurse{25} {\startsubcolumnset[L] \startsubject[title=Zapf] \samplefile{zapf}\footnote{\samplefile{knuth}} \stopsubject \stopsubcolumnset \startsubcolumnset[R] \startsubject[title=Knuth] \samplefile{knuth}\footnote{\samplefile{zapf}} \stopsubject \stopsubcolumnset \flushsubcolumnsets[spread]} \stopcolumnset \stoptext It has to be a stupid mistake, but having footnotes would allow me to tinker with another bilingual text. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Perhaps add a 5% orange tint to images printed on US Letter sized pages?

I would think ConTeXt users in Greenland would prefer to Nuuk all US page sizes.

The TL installer coulds put this in cont-loc.mkxl \unprotect \appendtoks \ifhasxtoks{in}{\layouttargetparameter\c!width\layouttargetparameter\c!height\layoutparameter\c!width\layoutparameter\c!height}\relax \writestatus{layout}{you're using an illegal or alien page size}% \fi \to \everysetuplayout \protect because I assume it also adapts the layout

and how about a unit

\starttext

\newdimension \tariff \tariff 1eu

\newuserunit \tariff tr

\framed[width=1.5tr]{who had thought} \framed[width=2.5tr]{or maybe we had thought} \framed[width=4.5tr]{and it looks like we need to think ahead}

\stoptext

Well, a good start might be to make the following document work :)

\setupcolours[textcolour=grey]

\startTEXpage Hello, world! \stopTEXpage

Sounds like a good idea to me. A few \aliased\let statements here and there in the context sources should do it. ;-)

Haha, please no; there are *dozens* of us Canadian ConTeXt users.

Hmm... I wonder how many of us there are. And how many are on this list. Jim
