Changes

| number Number of columns, default . Default is n=2.

| draw Draw a line between the columns, default . Default is off.

| affects Affects spacing, narrow . Narrow columns should be set tolerant, verytolerant or stretch

| Size of the gap between the columns.

| should Should the columns be balanced, i.e. should they get the same number of lines?

| leftLeft, right (raggedleft, raggedright).

| amount Amount of whitespace between paragraphs set in columns. Also accepts a dimension as an argument. Column equivalent of \{{cmd|setupwhitespace}}.

| with With option=background you can use everything that \setupframed offers.

| default Default is right, i.e. the first column is on the left; 'left' means the first column is the rightmost.

| height is unclear to me.

| ntop has to do with balancingcontains the minimum number of lines a column should have. If, but I can't make sense when a new set of itcolumns starts (e.g. See at the start of a page), there are 12 lines to distribute and <code>ntop=7</code>, then ConTeXt will produce one 12-line column rather than two 6-multline columns.tex Note that <code>ntop=6</code> will result in one 7-line column and one 5-line column: ConTeXt seems to prefer that the last column be shorter, as long as its length is at least <code>ntop - n + 1</ minbalancetoplinescode>.
