In search of a nice presentation of two passages of text I am trying to put two \framedtext's inside a \framed with their top at the same level. However, I have not been able to accomplish this. Instead they align their bottom.

Example with its result: \framed[location=top]\bgroup \hsize=0.5\textwidth \startframedtext[left][width=0.5\textwidth,location=top]\leavevmode some text \stopframedtext \startframedtext[left][width=0.5\textwidth,location=top]\leavevmode some other text\crlf of more lines \stopframedtext \egroup

\startframedtext is a text flow command (with before and after and such)

Changing the location parameter made no difference, introducing an align ruined the placement on the same line. How do I get the toplines of the inner frames at the same height?

several solutions, here is one: \starttext \startframed[strut=no,offset=1ex]% \startcombination[nx=2,ny=1,location=top,distance=1ex] \startcontent \startframed[width=0.5\textwidth,align=normal]% some text \stopframed \stopcontent \startcaption \stopcaption \startcontent \startframed[width=0.5\textwidth,align=normal]% some other text\crlf of more lines \stopframed \stopcontent \startcaption \stopcaption \stopcombination \stopframed \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
