Hello John,

I am going through the Context styles library (colo-ini.tex and friends) to figure out what the various files do. A portion of them come with sample demo code and a smaller portion of the demos work on my system.

If you just want to see the demos in these files, copy a specific file to a new directory and run `texexec --module --pdf colo-ini.tex' (and others). You need the nl interface for those documented modules.

Now I am confused again. What is an "nl interface"? does that mean that I must recreate Context to accept Dutch language? I think I did it that way last time but I don't remember. John C.

Hi, I am using two columns, but the command \column which should force a transition to the next column does not work. Here is a small example (in dutch): \steluitvoerin[pdftex] \stelkolommenin[n=2] \starttekst \startkolommen Tekst 1. \kolom Tekst 2. Tekst 3. \stopkolommen \stoptekst Regards, Sytse Knypstra S.Knypstra@eco.rug.nl

that looks OK here:

Tekst 1. Tekst 2. Tekst 3.

Isn't this what you want to get?

Yes, that's what I would like to get, but in fact I get: Tekst 1. Tekst 3. Tekst 2. And if I use: balance=no, I get: Tekst 1. Tekst 2. Tekst 3.

Maybe there have been relevant changes since august last year? Sytse

indeed, there has been some changes to the \column command: \column \column[yes] \column[preference] (you may try, in your version: \def\column {\par {\testrulewidth\zeropoint\ruledvskip\teksthoogte} \penalty-200 \vskip-\teksthoogte \prevdepth-\thousandpoint} % signals top of column which equals yes) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you Hans. This works OK.

In order to eliminate misunderstanding: here I meant relevant with respect to the \column command. I did not mean to underestimate the enormous work Hans and others are doing.

ah, no misunderstanding here; as long as i don't keep up with manuals ... i'll post a preliminary manual on columnsets later this day Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
