Has anyone a solution / hint as how to get the linespacing correct when using columns ? The first page works as expected, but all the following pages have an unexpected mis-alignment in the first column The document itself is plain vanilla: \starttext \startlines Testing 1971-04-26 \startcolumns[n=3] + 17271 \rightarrow\ 2018-08-08 + 17300 \rightarrow\ 2018-09-06 + 17371 \rightarrow\ 2018-11-16 … + 39900 \rightarrow\ 2080-07-22 + 39993 \rightarrow\ 2080-10-23 + 40000 \rightarrow\ 2080-10-30 \stopcolumns \stoplines \stoptext

Cannot reproduce with TL2018 or latest beta. MWE below: \starttext \startlines Testing 1971-04-26 \startcolumns[n=3] \dorecurse{200}{+ 17271 \rightarrow\ 2018-08-08 } \stopcolumns \stoplines \stoptext On 01/08/18 21:34, Floris van Manen wrote:

The document itself is plain vanilla:

\starttext \startlines Testing 1971-04-26 \startcolumns[n=3]

+ 17271 \rightarrow\ 2018-08-08 + 17300 \rightarrow\ 2018-09-06 + 17371 \rightarrow\ 2018-11-16

…

+ 39900 \rightarrow\ 2080-07-22 + 39993 \rightarrow\ 2080-10-23 + 40000 \rightarrow\ 2080-10-30 \stopcolumns \stoplines \stoptext

Hi Henri, I’m afraid that Floris is right. With latest beta and a simple improvement to your file, I get wrong output: \starttext \startlines Testing 1971-04-26 \startcolumns[n=3] \dorecurse{200}{+ 17271 \rightarrow\ 2018-08-08 } \stopcolumns \stoplines \stoptext If the closing parenthesis is on the same line, the plus sign is misplaced in the last item. With the previous sample, the second page gets a wrong interline space (between the third and the fourth item from the first column). Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hi, Same problem I had. As a workaround, \setuplayout[grid=yes] helps.

Ending each line in a proper (e.g. by adding \par to finish the paragraph) without the misuse the lines environment fixes the problem as well. \starttext Testing 1971-04-26 \startcolumns[n=3] \dorecurse{200}{+ 17271 \rightarrow\ 2018-08-08\par} \stopcolumns \stoptext Wolfgang Taco Hoekwater schrieb am 01.08.18 um 13:04:

Not sure as how to tell why it is misusing the line environment. But the suggested \par solution does not work. .F

Wolfgang, as Florian reported, this doesn’t solve the issue. On the second page, interline space between the third and fourth lines from the first column is wrong. The only way to fix it seems to enable grid composition. I don’t know whether this might be a bug in ConTeXt. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

I saw only the wrong alignment of the last text line before \stopcolumns which can be fixed with \par.

Adding \strut at the begin of each text line does also fix the spacing. Wolfgang

I took only a brief look at Henris example where I saw only the wrong alignment before \stopcolumns. What you can do to fix the vertical alignment without enabling the grid is to add \strut at the begin of each line. \starttext Testing 1971-04-26 \startcolumns[n=3] \startlines[command=\strut] + 17271 \rightarrow\ 2018-08-08 ... + 17271 \rightarrow\ 2018-08-08 \stoplines \stopcolumns \stoptext Wolfgang
