dsssl: problems with multi-colmuns and tables


I'm trying to produce in a 2-columns layout a document with tables,
and the jadetex steps barfs with errors (see at bottom of this mail)
which seems imply that the table macros in jadetex not defined the way
they should be.

Investigating, I found that that:

- jade's tex output differences between 1-columns and n-columns look like:
26c26
< {1}\def\PageNumberRestart%
---
> {3}\def\PageNumberRestart%

This does not look like it is possible with this to get the problem
described above, but I don't master the jadetex code...

- jade's fot output with the same docs and sheets are the same !

- it seems that jadetex.ltx has support for switching multicolumn on a
display-group basis (see definition for \openMulticols and friends,
which features comments like "local to this nesting level, for use by
endDisplayGroup")

I tried in a naive attempt to add page-n-columns property to a
paragraph or display-group, but it seems to be ignored - that's
consistent with the answers commonly given on this list.

Sebastian, what are these \*Multicols macros for for ?

What'd be needed to change the number of columns within a
simple-page-sequence (aside from "implementing page-sequence") ?


Here is the start of the jadetex error output:
