Here is my example:
\setuppapersize[A5] \setupcolors[state=start]
This is the default, no need to start the colours any longer.
{\framed [width=10cm, background=color,backgroundcolor=darkblue, foreground=color,foregroundcolor=white, align={flushleft}] {The Earth, as a habitat for animal life, is in old age and has a fatal illness. Several, in fact.\par \setupindenting[yes, small] It would be happening whether humans had ever evolved or not.
\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=1cm]}
\setupwhitespace[small] \starttext Below, we have two separate columns; but up here, for the nonce, we have but the one.
\startcolumns[n=2] % Two columns, please Text, text, text \dots all in the first column \column Words, words, words \dots all in the second column. And look ye here! Even more words! \stopcolumns \stoptext Why can‘t I see the cow?
You're missing \setupexternalfigures [location=default] Without setting the location context doesn't check the system directories for the sample images. Furthermore, you're typesetting before \starttext. That's why your font is monospaced. And I try to separate content from style. That's why I move all style information before \starttext and after \starttext comes only content and markup (if possible). Nothing wrong with mixing it, but it's easier to read and easier to change the layout after the fact. I'd write your example as follows. \setuppapersize [A5] \setupexternalfigures [location=default] \setupindenting [yes, small] \setupwhitespace [small] \defineframedtext [prettyblock] [width=10cm, indenting={yes, small}, background=color, backgroundcolor=darkblue, foreground=color, foregroundcolor=white, offset=2mm, align=flushleft] \starttext \startprettyblock \noindentation The Earth, as a habitat for animal life, is in old age and has a fatal illness. Several, in fact. It would be happening whether humans had ever evolved or not. \externalfigure[cow][width=1cm] \stopprettyblock Below, we have two separate columns; but up here, for the nonce, we have but the one. \startcolumns [n=2] Text, text, text \dots all in the first column \column Words, words, words \dots all in the second column. And look ye here! Even more words! \stopcolumns \stoptext Marco ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
