Hello, I want to tyeset some smaller text parts in columns on one page. I would like to place each text into it's own set of columns. Is it possible to have each text spread equally over some columns, so that the next text starts on the leftmost column again? Haven't found any parameter for this in the documentation. TIA, __Janko

columns.pdf (column sets) else, play with \starttabulate[|p|p|p] \NC ... \NC ... \NC ... \NC \NR \stoptabulate

Thanks for the quick answer
columns.pdf (column sets)
This one I had tried, but it fills always to the bottom of the page.
else, play with
But this looks promising, I will test it and report back.
\starttabulate[|p|p|p] \NC ... \NC ... \NC ... \NC \NR \stoptabulate
with regards, __Janko

Following the suggestions I tried to use the \column command to split the columns. But my main problem remains. With the \startcolumnset command I can not achive automatic balancing of columns. I looked through the code in context and learned, that there is the \startcolumns command wich can be given the [balance=yes] parameter. This works, but then I can not use the other nice features of the columnset environment. Further search in the code shows that the balance=yes is also present in the columnset environment, but it has no effect. Is this right, a missing feature or a malfunction? I can provide an example, if this should work, and I'm doing something wrong. All hints gratefully accepted :-) __Janko

you can do manual balancing (experimental, esp the continue with a next columnset part): \setupcolumnsetlines[whatever][2][1][3] \setupcolumnsetlines[whatever][2][2][5] \setupcolumnsetlines[whatever][2][3][10] [page in sequence] [column] [lines] Hans
