Description

Hans comments in the source that it is possible to define columns using a start command, but it is best to define an instance by using \definemixedcolumns. This does not seem to be implemented yet. I could only get it to work without defining an instance as the example shows below, so take the syntax above with that grain of salt.

It is likely that all the options that work for the older columns command also work for mixedcolumns. It doesn't hurt to test and find out. Do report back here.

distance Distance between columns.
n Number of columns. Default is n=2.
rule Draw a line between the columns. Default is off.
frame
strut
grid Grid snapping mode. Default is tolerant.
balance Left and right columns balanced at bottom of columns
align Left, right (raggedleft, raggedright).
direction Default is right, i.e. the first column is on the left; 'left' means the first column is the rightmost.

Example

\startcolumns[n=2, distance=5mm, rule=on, balance=yes]

\stopcolumns

This example works with ConTeXt ver: 2013.05.28 00:36 MKIV.
