floats spanning columns?
Hi there, a simple one: Is it possible to span a \placetable float over multiple columns defined with \startcolumns ...\ stopcolumns? Or do I have to switch to column sets for that?

if a float is too wide it will be moved around; wide floats spanning columns and text flowing around it is not one of the strong points of normal columns Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

At least I didn't overlook something simple :) Is there any easy fix to prevent the "table" from disapperaring when I uncomment the \input knuth? % -*- mode: context; coding: latin-9-unix; -*- \setuplayout [grid=yes] \definecolumnset[example] \setupfloat[table][width=\makeupwidth] \starttext \startcolumnset[example] \input knuth %\input knuth \placetable{Tabelle} \framed[width=\makeupwidth,height=4cm]{Hallo} \input knuth \input knuth \stopcolumnset \stoptext

well, you can't blame knuth for that one ... the problem is that the graphix is oved to a next page already but that page has no content \unprotect \def\OTRSETflushleftovers {\OTRSETdoifcellelse{1}{1} {\bgroup \OTRSETcentergridcells \chardef\OTRSETbalancemethod\plusone \OTRSETreducegridbox \global\setbox\OTRfinalpagebox\OTRSETmakegridbox \global\ht\OTRfinalpagebox\textheight % signals output \OTRSETdofinaloutput \globallet\OTRSETbalht\zeropoint \egroup} {}} \def\stopcolumnset {\relax \ifnum\columnsetlevel=\plusone \endgraf % needed, else wrong vsize in one par case \global\chardef\OTRSETfinish\plusone % no, extra page \pagebreak % (test on pascal toc) \dostopcolumnset \egroup \global\notelimittrue % brrr, untested and fuzzy \setvsize \sethsize \ifvoid\OTRfinalpagebox\else % probably balanced \ifdim\ht\OTRfinalpagebox<\textheight \snaptogrid[\v!page]\hbox{\box\OTRfinalpagebox}% \else \box\OTRfinalpagebox \fi \fi \global\chardef\OTRSETfinish\zerocount \ifsomefloatwaiting \setvsize \pagebreak \setvsize \fi \OTRSETflushleftovers %% ADDED \else \egroup \fi \decrement\columnsetlevel\relax} \protect \setuplayout[grid=yes] \definecolumnset[example] \showgrid \starttext \startcolumnset[example] \input knuth \endgraf \input knuth \placetable {Tabelle} {\framed[width=\makeupwidth,height=4cm]{Hallo}} \input knuth \endgraf \input knuth \stopcolumnset \input knuth \endgraf \input knuth \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
