Hello Walter, seems to me something which could be done using columnsets. (But I didn't use them yet.) See here: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns#Column_Sets And in the manual http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/columns.pdf see especially the examples on pages 11 and 13-14. Best regards, Oliver. Am 06.08.19 um 00:41 schrieb Walter Mays:

Hello all,

I am trying to lay out a page that has a 2/3 column split, and then nest another set of 3 columns inside the larger of the two outer columns. In case that's not clear, I've attached a PNG that shows approximately what I would like to achieve.

Here's what I've tried:

``` \defineparagraphs[TwoThirds][n=2] \setupparagraphs[TwoThirds][1][width=0.33\textwidth]

\starttext

\startTwoThirds

\input tufte

\nextTwoThirds

\input tufte

\startcolumns[n=3] \input tufte \stopcolumns

\stopTwoThirds

\stoptext ```

Instead of doing what I described, it made the contents of that inner column very narrow, but does not split it across columns. The \column command seems to have no effect.

Thank you for your help,

Walter
