Description
Start a columnation environment. You must specify how many columns you want using [n=2]
, unless you have already done so using \setupcolumns. A new column can be forced with \column. A columnation environment that does not fill up the remainder of the page will be balanced by default, rather than produce full columns next to empty ones.
Examples
Example 1
\enableregime[utf] \setuppapersize[A5] % Indentation helps us see where one paragraph ends and the next begins \setupindenting[yes, small] \startcolumns[n=3,separator=rule] % [rule=on] seems to be deprecated \input weisman \input weisman % Start the Hawking quotation in a new column \column \input hawking \stopcolumns
