Consider using {| class="wikitable"|-| n | Number of columns. Default is n=2.|-| rule | DEPRECATED: Draw a line between the columns. Default is off.|-| separator=rule| Add vertical line between columns.|-| tolerance | Affects spacing. Narrow columns should be set tolerant, verytolerant or stretch|- | distance | Size of the gap between the columns.|- | balance | Should the columns be balanced, i.e. should they get the same number of lines?|- | align | Left, right (raggedleft, raggedright).|- | blank | Amount of whitespace between paragraphs or set in columns. Also accepts a dimension as an argument. Column equivalent of {{cmd|setupwhitespace}}.|- | option | With option=background you can use everything that \setupframed offers.|- | direction | Default is right, i.e. the first column is on the left; 'left' means the first column is the rightmost.|- | height | height is unclear to me.|- | ntop | ntop contains the minimum number of lines a column sets instead should have. If, when a new set of columns starts (e.g. at the start of "simple" 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-line columns.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</code>.|}

== Example ==<context source=yes>\setupcolumns [n=3, rule=on, % DEPRECATED separator=rule, % need newly instead "rule=on" ntop has to do with balancing=4,background=color,backgroundcolor=green, but I can't make sense of it. See page-mult.tex / minbalancetoplines. height is unclear to me ]
