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=
<texcode>
\startcolumns[n=3]
\input knuth
\stopcolumns
</texcode>
<context>
\setupbodyfont[rm, 9pt]
\startcolumns[n=3]
\input knuth
\stopcolumns
</context>
You can add all the options of <cmd>setupcolumns</cmd> to <cmd>startcommand</cmd>.
You can enforce a new column with <cmd>column</cmd>, but that's a bit broken at the moment (2006-01-14).
=Paragraphs=
see "Paragraphs in Columns" section in the [[manual:cont-enp.pdf|manual]]
=Column Sets=
