Description
| n | number of columns, default is n=2 |
| rule | draw a line between the columns, default is off |
| tolerance | affects spacing, narrow columns should be set tolerant, verytolerant or stretch |
| distance | gap between the columns |
| balance | should the columns be balanced, i.e. should they get the same number of lines? |
| align | left, right (raggedleft, raggedright) |
| blank | amount of whitespace between paragraphs set in columns. Also accepts a dimension as an argument. Column equivalent of \setupwhitespace |
| option | with option=background you can use everything that \setupframed offers |
| direction | default is right, i.e. the first column is on the left; 'left' means the first column is the rightmost. |
| height | height is unclear to me |
| ntop | ntop has to do with balancing, but I can't make sense of it. See page-mult.tex / minbalancetoplines. |
