Hi Adam,
Although my experience is limited I could imagine, that a setup wit a \starttabulate \stoptabulate environment could work for you:
\starttext \definetabulate[Mystyle][|p|p|]
\section[]{First paragraph}
\startMystyle \NC a bunch of text \NC a bunch of text \NC\NR \NC \dorecurse{5}{\input tufte \blank[small]} \NC \dorecurse{3}{\input knuth \blank[small]} \NC\NR \stopMystyle
\section[]{Second paragraaf}
\startMystyle \NC a bunch of text \NC a bunch of text \NC\NR \NC \dorecurse{7}{\input tufte \blank[small]} \NC \dorecurse{9}{\input knuth \blank[small]} \NC\NR \stopMystyle \stoptext
Humble, this is a very simple(minded) approach.
well, that makes me simple minded too, because it was the first one that came into my mind -) but ... you can make it a bit nicer (see core-mis.tex for how legends are defined)
Of course Hans's columnset possibilities give you many more hooks to insert blocks, backgrounds etc.
well, you can have backgrounds in tabulations; i can put it on my todo list to see if column sets can have a sync mechanism Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
