/ ... / It took me a while to figure it out as NOfTextColumns is only used in very special cases and long gone from context (it dates from a previous background implementation). Normally the obsolete code is never seen but in your case consulting the variable might be triggered by the fact that

multi_column_first_page_hack

is set to true (looks like a quick hack i made for Jelle long ago).

I commented it in the mkii source now, hopefully no error message any longer.

Thank you. How can I make this change in our ConTeXt installations? As noted previously, the only place I could find a mention of / for i=1 upto NOfTextColumns-1/ was in some code that was already commented out. So I don't know how I would comment it out any more effectively than that.

ps. sometimes there is some specific test code that then depends on other experimental code being present

ps. in mkiv it's all redone anyway and i will redo columnsets one of these days too;

Jut to make sure it's clear, I'm running ConTeXt with mkiv. (ConTeXt ver: 2012.05.30 11:26 MKIV fmt: 2013.3.11) I mention that because I'm not sure if your statement about mkiv implies that this error shouldn't be happening if I'm already using mkiv. Lars
