+%D The following macro's implement a multi||column output
+%D routine. The original implementation was based on Donald
+%D Knuth's implementation, which was adapted by Craig Platt to
+%D support balancing of the last page. I gradually adapted
+%D Platt's version to our needs but under certain
+%D circumstances things still went wrong. I considered all
+%D calls to Platt's \type{\balancingerror} as undesirable.

+%D This completely new implementation can handle enough
+%D situations for everyday documents, but is still far from
+%D perfect. While at the moment the routine doesn't support
+%D all kind of floats, it does support:
+%D
+%D \startopsomming[opelkaar]
+%D \som an unlimitted number of columns
+%D \som ragged or not ragged bottoms
+%D \som optional balancing without \type{\balancingerrors}
+%D \som different \type{\baselineskips}, \type{\spacing},
+%D \type{\topskip} and \type{\maxdepth}
+%D \som left- and right indentation, e.g. within lists
+%D \som moving columns floats to the next column or page
+%D \som handling of floats that are to wide for a columns
+%D \stopopsomming
+%D
+%D One could wonder why single and multi||columns modes are
+%D still separated. One reason for this is that \TeX\ is not
+%D suited well for handling multi||columns. As a result, the
+%D single columns routines are more robust. Handling one
+%D column as a special case of multi||columns is posible but at
+%D the cost of worse float handling, worse page breaking,
+%D worse etc. Complicated multi||column page handling should
+%D be done in \kap{DTP}||systems anyway.
+%D
+%D There are three commands provided for entering and leaving
+%D multi||column mode and for going to the next column:
+%D
+%D \interface \type{\beginmulticolumns} \\ \\
+%D \interface \type{\endmulticolumns} \\ \\
+%D \interface \type{\ejectcolumn} \\ \\
+%D
+%D This routines are sort of stand||alone. They communicate
+%D with the rest of \CONTEXT\ by means of some interface
+%D macro's, which we only mention.
+%D
+%D \interface \type{\nofcolumns} \\
+%D the number of columns \\
+%D \interface \type{\betweencolumns} \\
+%D the stuff between columns \\
+%D \interface \type{\finaloutput{action}{box}} \\
+%D some kind of \type{\pagebody} and \type{\shipout} \\
+%D
+%D \interface \type{\ifbalancecolumns} \\
+%D balancing the colums or not \\
+%D \interface \type{\ifstretchcolumns} \\
+%D ragging the bottom or not \\
+%D
+%D \interface \type{\ifheightencolumns} \\
+%D fix the heigh tor not \\
+%D \interface \type{\fixedcolumnheight} \\
+%D the optional fixed height \\

+%D \interface \type{\ifb@selinebottom} \\
+%D put the bottom line on the baseline \\

+%D do something special (a hook) \\
+%D \interface \type{\postprocesscolumnline} \\
+%D do something with each columnline (also a hook) \\
+%D \interface \type{\currentcolumn} \\
+%D the current column \\
+%D
+%D These interface macro's are called upon or initialized
+%D by the multi||column macro's.

+%D During initialization the temporary boxes are allocated.
+%D This enables us to use as much columns as we want, without
+%D exhausting the pool of boxes too fast. We could have packed
+%D them in one box, but we've got enough boxes.
+%D
+%D Two sets of boxes are declared, the txtboxes are used for
+%D the text, the topboxes are for moved column floats.

+
+%D Without going in details we present two macro's which
+%D handle the columns. The action which is transfered by the
+%D the first and only parameter can do something with
+%D \type{\currentcolumnbox}. In case of the mid columns,
+%D \type{\firstcolumnbox} and \type{\lastcolumnbox} are handled
+%D outside these macro's.
+

+ \let\currentcolumn=\recurselevel
+ #1\relax}}
+
+%D Going to a new columns is done by means of a
+%D \type{\ejectcolumn}. The following definition does not
+%D always work.
+
+\def\ejectcolumn%
+ {\goodbreak
+ \showmessage{\m!columns}{2}{}}
+
+%D The next macro should never be called so let's deal with it.
+%D There were several solutions to these kind of errors. First
+%D we check for a good breakpoint before firing up the
+%D multi||column routine (\type{\break} or \type{\allowbreak}).
+%D We do the same at the end of the routine
+%D (\type{\allowbreak}). These allowances are definitely
+%D needed!
+%D
+%D Some on first sight redundant calls to for instance
+%D \type{\setvsize} in the flushing, splitting and balancing
+%D macro's can definitely not be omitted! Some are just there
+%D to handle situations that only few times arise. One of
+%D those can be that the output routine is invoked before
+%D everything is taken care of. This happens when we
+%D flush (part of) the current page with an \type{\unvbox}
+%D with a \type{\pagetotal}~$\approx$ \type{\pagegoal}. One
+%D simply cannot balance columns that are just balanced.
+%D
+%D I hope one never sees the following message. Because it
+%D took me a lot of time to develop the multi||columns
+%D routines, every (although seldom) warning gives me the
+%D creeps!
+
+\def\balancingerror%
+ {\showmessage{\m!columns}{3}{}%
+ \finaloutput\unvbox\normalpagebox}
+
+%D Here we present the two \type{\dont...} macro's, which are
+%D of course \CONTEXT||specific ones.

+
+%D The local column width is available in the dimension
+%D register \type{\localcolumnwidth}, which is calculated as:
+
+\def\setcolumnhsize%
+ {\setbox0=\hbox
+ {\parindent\!!zeropoint\betweencolumns}%
+ \intercolumnwidth=\wd0
+ \localcolumnwidth=\columntextwidth
+ \edef\globalcolumnwidth{\the\localcolumnwidth}%
+ \advance\localcolumnwidth by -\leftskip
+ \advance\localcolumnwidth by -\rightskip
+ \advance\localcolumnwidth by -\nofcolumns\intercolumnwidth
+ \advance\localcolumnwidth by \intercolumnwidth
+ \divide\localcolumnwidth by \nofcolumns
+ \usercolumnwidth=\localcolumnwidth
+ \hsize=\localcolumnwidth} % we don't do it \global
+
+%D One should be aware that when font related dimensions are
+%D used in typesetting the in||between material, these
+%D dimensions are influenced by bodyfont switches inside
+%D multi||column mode.
+
+%D The global width is saved in \type {\globalcolumnwidth}.
+%D This value is used when we pack the columns in a \type
+%D {\hbox}.
+
+\def\setcolumnvsize%
+ {\global\vsize=\columntextheight
+ \ifdim\partialpageheight>\!!zeropoint
+ \global\advance\vsize by -\partialpageheight
+ \fi
+ \getinsertionheights\to\dimen0\\%
+ \global\advance\vsize by -\dimen0
+\ifgridsnapping % evt altijd, nog testen
+ \getnoflines\vsize
+ \vsize=\noflines\openlineheight
+ \advance\vsize by .5\openlineheight % collect enough data
+\fi
+ \global\vsize=\nofcolumns\vsize
+ \global\pagegoal=\vsize} % let's do it only here
+
+%D It really starts here. After some checks and initializations
+%D we change the output routine to continous multi||column
+%D mode. This mode handles columns that fill the current and
+%D next full pages. The method used is (more or less)
+%D multiplying \type{\vsize} and dividing \type{\hsize} by
+%D \type{\nofcolumns}. More on this can be found in the
+%D \TeX book. We save the top of the current page in box
+%D \type{\partialpage}.
+%D
+%D We manipulate \type{\topskip} a bit, just to be shure that
+%D is has no flexibility. This has te be done every time a
+%D font switch takles place, because \type{\topskip} can depend
+%D on this.
+%D
+%D Watch the trick with the \type{\vbox}. This way we get the
+%D right interlining and white space.

+%D When we leave the multi||column mode, we have to process the

+%D balance, we simply force a continuous output, but a balanced
+%D output is more tricky.
+%D
+
+%D First we try to fill up the page and when all or something
+%D is left we try to balance things. This is another useful
+%D adaption of the ancesters of these macro's. It takes some
+%D reasoning to find out what happens and maybe I'm making
+%D some mistake, but it works.
+%D

+%D Flushing the page comes to pasting the columns together and
+%D appending the result to box \type{\partialpage}, if not
+%D void. I've seen a lot of implementations in which some skip
+%D was put between normal text and multi||column text. When we
+%D don't want this, the baselines can be messed up. I hope the
+%D seemingly complicated calculation of a correction
+%D \type{\kern} is adequate to overcome this. Although not
+%D watertight, spacing is taken into account and even multiple
+%D mode changes on one page go well. But cross your fingers and
+%D don't blame me.
+%D
+%D One of the complications of flushing out the boxes is that
+%D \type{\partialpage} needs to be \type{\unvbox}'ed, otherwise
+%D there is too less flexibility in the page when using
+%D \type{\r@ggedbottom}. It took a lot of time before these
+%D kind of problems were overcome. Using \type{\unvbox} at the
+%D wrong moment can generate \type{\balancingerror}'s.
+%D
+%D One can use the macros \type {\maxcolumnheight} and \type
+%D {\maxcolumndepth} when generating material between columns
+%D as well as postprocessing column lines.

+%D In case one didn't notice, finaly \type{\finishcolumnbox} is
+%D applied to all boxes. One can use this hook for special
+%D purposes. But there is more:
+%D
+%D Once upon a time I wanted to manipulate the individual lines
+%D in a column. This feature is demonstrated in the two examples
+%D below.
+%D
+%D \startbuffer
+%D \def\postprocesscolumnline#1%
+%D {\ruledhbox{#1}\hss}
+%D
+%D \startkolommen[n=4]
+%D \dorecurse{25}{line: \recurselevel\par}
+%D \stopkolommen
+%D \stopbuffer
+%D
+%D \typebuffer
+%D
+%D Here we show the natural width of the lines:
+%D
+%D {\haalbuffer}
+%D
+%D The next example does a bit more advanced manipulation:
+%D
+%D \startbuffer
+%D \def\postprocesscolumnline#1%
+%D {\ifodd\currentcolumn
+%D \hfill#1\relax
+%D \else
+%D \relax#1\hfill
+%D \fi}
+%D
+%D \startkolommen[n=4]
+%D \dorecurse{25}{line \recurselevel\par}
+%D \stopkolommen
+%D \stopbuffer
+%D
+%D \typebuffer
+%D
+%D Here we also see an application of \type{\currentcolumn}:
+%D
+%D {\haalbuffer}
+%D
+%D This feature is implemented using the reshape macros
+%D presented in \type{supp-box}.
+

+%D Here comes the simple splitting routine. It's a bit
+%D longer than expected because of ragging bottoms or not.
+%D This part can be a bit shorter but I suppose that I will
+%D forget what happens. The splitting takes some already
+%D present material (think of floats) into account!
+%D
+%D First we present some auxiliary routines. Any material,

+%D The multicolumn mechanism is incorporated in a \CONTEXT\
+%D interface, which acts like:
+%D
+%D \starttypen
+%D \startcolumns[n=4,balance=no,stretch=no,line=on]
+%D some text
+%D \stopcolumns
+%D \stoptypen
+%D
+%D The setup is optional. The default behaviour of columns
+%D can be set up with:
+%D
+%D \starttypen
+%D \setupcolumns
+%D [n=2,
+%D balance=yes,
+%D stretch=text,
+%D line=off]
+%D \stoptypen
+%D
+%D In this case, stretching is according to the way it's
+%D done outside columns (\type{\inheritcolumnstrue}). Also
+%D we can setup the \type{tolerance} within a column, the
+%D \type{distance} between columns and the fixed
+%D \type{height} of a column.
+
+%D Multi||column output: the float routines
+%D
+%D Here come the routines that handle the placement of column
+%D floats. Floats that are to big migrate to the next
+%D column. Floats that are too wide, migrate to the top of the
+%D next page, where they span as much columns as needed.
+%D Floats that are left over from outside the multi||column
+%D mode are flushed first. In macro \type{\finaloutput} the
+%D topfloats that are left from previous text should be set.
+%D
+%D When there are some floats in the queue, we inhibit the
+%D flushing of floats on top of columns. The number of
+%D waiting floats is preswent in \type{\savednoftopfloats} and
+%D is saved. As long as there are floats waiting, the topfloats
+%D are places as if we are outside multi||column mode. This is
+%D neccessary for e.g. multicolumn lists.
+%D
+%D When all those floats are flushed, we switch to the local
+%D flushing routine.

+%D We need to calculate the amount of free space in a columns.
+%D When there is not enough room, we migrate the float to the
+%D next column. These macro's are alternatives (and
+%D look||alikes) of \type{\doroomfloat}. When a float is to
+%D wide, for one column, it is moved to the top of the next
+%D page. Of course such moved floats have to be taken into
+%D account when we calculate the available space. It's a pitty
+%D that such things are no integral part of \TEX.
