% not yet mkiv! probably namespace issues with localframed (only one left)
%
% getnoflines vs getrawnoflines
%
% can have some vpack and hpack

% This is a rather old mechanism and we can best keep it as it is. If it gets
% replaced by a more modern solution, it will be an extra mechanism. So, we
% only do some basic cleanup.

\writestatus{loading}{ConTeXt Page Macros / Column Sets}

% todo : last longer than previous
% todo : block span over last column if footnotes
% todo : diagnosis balancing run
% todo : separate footnote placement
% todo : go on on same page with colset
% todo : test page areas per page
% todo : leftmargin/rightmargin (better than afstand(1))

% use the OTRSET layer for more purposes, like the footnotes !
