There are different possibilities to typeset text in two or more columns:

  • columns : for simple cases of multi column text
  • paragraphs : if you need a table-like structure (translations, questionaires etc.)
  • column sets : the flexible way for varying columns or other complex tasks

Columns

\startcolumns[n=3]
\input knuth
\stopcolumns

You can add all the options of \setupcolumns to \startcommand. You can enforce a new column with \column, but that's a bit broken at the moment (2006-01-14).

Paragraphs

see "Paragraphs in Columns" section in the manual

Column Sets

see Columns manual
