Two columns in a frame
Hi All, I'm doing something where the example at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns#.28Simple.29Columns_in_a_narrow_frame would be quiet useful. Except that if I copy-paste the example in my ConTeXt, I get two columns typeset almost on top of each other, with non-existent column distance (a lot less than on the graphic in the wiki). Attached is what I get out of my ConTeXt, version 2012.05.30 11:26 MKIV BTW, the columns page doesn't seem to contain information on how to force a column break, at least not under that name.... I'm attaching a short version of the file where I'd need it. Being clueless again, thankful for any help, Mari
I'm really being a clueless idiot again this morning, hit send instead of attach (and they are not even next to each other....). Here's my own file that tries to implement the example from the wiki, with limited success. If you don't have Lucida OT, it may look a bit funny, but the pdf should explaien the problem pretty well.

Hi Mari, the command to switch columns is \column. You can influence the outcome by setting up tolerance. You could probably better use also the height and width operators in \setuplayout I suggest not to use columns for this purpose, because depending on the length of words in either language you will get shifted information. What about tabulate environment? For usability reasons you might also think of using CSV data table, enabling you to check the translations easily. I would suggest to use a topspace of at least the space the printer can not print on the paper I submit the edited file again. Success with the recipes!
