=Page Grids=
Page grids are a new implementation of columnsets, intended to replace the old mechanism. From the [[source:page-cst.mkiv|source]]:
Columnsets are kind of special. They are mostly meant for special products with
magazine like properties. They are normally not mixed with single column layouts
and not all features of ConTeXt might cooperate well with a mechanism like
this. We use the name page grid because (as with other reimplementations of
MkII features in MkIV, we need another namespace in order to migrate stepwise.
This implementation is not neccessarily better than the previous one but it might
be easier to extend it. It should be a bit more efficient.
