Keep text elements together
Hi all. I'm writing a Multiple Choice test set in two-columns. I would like to keep the multiple-choice items together with the question both on the same page AND on the same column. Question 1 Question 3 choice 1 choice 1 choice 2 choice 2 choice 3 choice 3 Question 2 Question 4 choice 1 choice 1 choice 2 choice 2 choice 3 choice 3 (Apologies, it's easier to draw than describe). So I don't want the multiple choices breaking to another page or going to another column. How can I achieve this? I tried setting the "intro" flag of itemize but it doesn't work. Here's what I did: \item[columns] ... \item Question \startitemize[intro] \item choice \item choice ... \stopitemize ... \stopitemize but the multiple-choice items would still break across pages and columns F
So does anyone know how to do this? I'm sure it's possible -- I did it in TeX once but I can't find the ConTeXt equivalent in the docs... On Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 09:32:16AM -0400, Uriel Avalos wrote:
