Hi all, I am trying to make a synopsis, i.e a text where in the leftmost column the original document can be read, in the middle the changes and in the right column the reasons for the changes. So basically I want to typeset first some text in the leftmost column (over several pages, on a grid), and then the one in the middle and then the one on the right. Is there an easy way to do this using column(set)s? Any help greatly appreciated ... Greetings, AleX

maybe tabulations are more convenient: \starttext \definetabulate[ThreeOfThem][|p|p|p|] \startThreeOfThem \NC \input ward \NC \input zapf \NC \input bryson \NC \NR \stopThreeOfThem \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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Hans, On Tue, Jun 29, 2004 at 10:34:44AM +0200, Hans Hagen wrote: thanks, this works exactly as I intended it. But now I got yet another problem: I want to show that things have changed in the original document by \overstrike-ing (or \overstrikes-ing) them. Unluckily there seems to be no hyphenation once I do this. This is especially ugly with the columns. Is there a way to turn hyphenation on within \overstrikes? Greetings, AleX

no, the problem is that i kind of fake under/overlines and hyphenation would spoil that game. The good news is that you can do: \setuppapersize[S6][S6] \definetextbackground[underline][location=text,alternative=1,background=,frame=off] \definestartstop [underline] [before={\starttextbackground[underline]}, after=\stoptextbackground] \starttext \input tufte \starttextbackground[underline]\input tufte \stoptextbackground \input tufte \startunderline\input tufte \stopunderline \input tufte \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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
