Description

Define a new columnset environment with certain properties.

Header 1 Header 2
direction right
balance no
distance 1.5\bodyfontsize
n 2
nleft Number of columns on left-hand pages
nright Number of columns on right-hand pages
width fit
lines 0
start 0
page Start a page break before the columnset

Columnsets are spread-based, i.e. when n=4 you actually have eight columns: four on the left page and four on the right page. A document always opens with a right page.

Example - Two Column

% mode=mkiv
\setuppapersize[A5]

\definecolumnset[TwoColumns][n=2]

\startcolumnset [TwoColumns]
  \title{Test page}
  \framed
    [frame=off,
     bottomframe=on,
     width=\textwidth,
     frameoffset=1mm,
     foregroundstyle=small,
    ]{\copyright\ \date[][year] Donald E. Knuth}
  \input knuth
\stopcolumnset

Example - Four Column
