Kurz gesagt
Der Jahresbericht einer kleinen Bürgerenergiegruppe, zweispaltig gesetzt. Er zeigt, wie beide Textspalten auf genau derselben Höhe enden.
Was Sie setzen
Der Jahresbericht 2025 von Tidewell Community Energy, einer erfundenen Genossenschaft mit zwei Windturbinen, einem Solarfeld und Modulen auf 21 Dächern. Fünf Seiten im Format 210 × 280 mm. Auf dem Umschlag laufen die Wind- und Sonnenerträge des Jahres als zwei Bänder unter einer „2025“ in 150 pt. Brief des Vorsitzes, Betriebsbericht und Abschluss des Schatzmeisters folgen in zwei Spalten Brygada 1918 im Blocksatz auf einem Raster von 50 Zeilen. Volle Spalten enden auf der letzten Rasterlinie, kurze auf gleicher Höhe mit ihren Nachbarn. Ein Kasten mit drei Kennzahlen läuft quer über die Seite des Vorsitzes, der Brief endet darüber bündig, und eine Notiz zur Zählung gleitet an den Kopf von Seite 4. Auf der Schlussseite enden beide Spalten auf einer Zeile über der Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung. Ein Palettenattribut färbt die Betriebsseiten petrol und die Finanzseite ziegelrot.
Dieses Rezept beantwortet
- Wie erreiche ich bündige Spaltenenden und eine ausgeglichene letzte Seite (vertikaler Ausgleich)?
- Wie setze ich mitten auf der Seite einen Kasten über beide Spalten, etwa eine dreiteilige „In Zahlen“-Leiste?
- Wie lasse ich einen Kasten an den Kopf oder Fuß der Seite gleiten, während der Text weiterfließt?
- Wie erstelle ich eine Tabelle mit Kopfzeilen, verbundenen Zellen, Spaltenbreiten und Ausrichtung je Zelle?
- Wie gliedere ich ein Buch in Teile oder Abschnitte, jeweils mit eigener Farbe und Teiltitelseite?
Die kurze Antwort
// The text block is LINES lines of LEAD deep (MARGIN.bottom is derived from them) and every
// heading takes whole lines, so a column the break rules leave short is short by whole lines.
// Balancing (on by default) stretches it back to its foot with its levers, in this order: a
// box that closes the column moves down to it; a picture with a safe area grows; lines above
// the headings, two each at most (maxLinesBeforeLoose); one line where a list ends; one under
// a display formula or a box, then under a float at the column head; a paragraph set one line
// longer and looser, with up to maxTracking of tracking; last, the lines a heading may still
// take, up to maxLinesPerHeading. A closing band whose columns differ by more than a line is
// cut level instead (trailing), and so is the band a page-wide box leaves when it has to move
// on to the next page (beforeSpan).
const balancing = { maxLinesPerHeading: 1 }; // one line per heading; the next lever takes more
const flowText = { // justification, hyphenation and Knuth–Plass stay at their defaults (on)
fontFamily: 'Brygada 1918', fontSize: pt(9.4), lineHeight: pt(LEAD),
firstLineIndent: mm(4), indentAfterHeading: false,
minWordSpacing: 0.7, maxWordSpacing: 1.8, // word spaces 0.7–1.8 of normal (defaults 0.6–2)
};
const onGrid = { lineHeight: pt(LEAD), marginTop: pt(LEAD), marginBottom: pt(0) }; // one line
// hook-up: headings: { balancing, levels: [..., { level: 2, ...onGrid }] }, bodyText: flowText

Zubereitung
#1 · Jede Zeile auf dem Raster halten und die Lücken von den Hebeln schließen lassen
Der Code steht oben in der kurzen Antwort. Der Satzspiegel ist genau 50 Zeilen zu 13,4 pt hoch, und der untere Rand (21,6 mm) ergibt sich aus dieser Höhe. Ein Zwischentitel nimmt eine Rasterzeile über sich und eine für sich selbst; eine Spalte, die zu kurz endet, ist also um ganze Zeilen zu kurz, und ganze Zeilen sind es, die der Spaltenausgleich hinzufügt. Auf Seite 3 geht der dreizeilige Absatz über das Hagelunwetter wegen avoidOrphans geschlossen auf Seite 4 über; so heißt in Postext die Regel, die verhindert, dass die letzte Zeile eines Absatzes allein am Kopf einer Spalte steht, und die rechte Spalte endet zwei Zeilen zu kurz. maxLinesPerHeading: 1 gibt eine dieser Zeilen dem Raum über The Saltings and the roofs und überlässt die andere dem nächsten Hebel, der sie nach der Liste der Dächer einfügt. Standardmäßig nimmt eine Überschrift bis zu zwei Zeilen, bevor die Hebel nach ihr versucht werden (maxLinesBeforeLoose), und bis zu vier, sobald diese nichts mehr zu geben haben; beide Zeilen gingen dann über die Überschrift.
#2 · Den Text über einem Kasten quer über die Seite bündig schneiden
// In the Markdown: :::callout{type="figures" span="page"} around :::columns{count=3 breaks="3,5"},
// each number a :::paragraphs{style="figure"} of **8.47 GWh**, then its line of text.
const figures = { id: 'figures', background: col('ink'), columnGap: mm(GUTTER),
padding: { top: mm(5), right: mm(5), bottom: mm(5), left: mm(5) },
marginTop: pt(LEAD), marginBottom: pt(LEAD), titleStyle: { ...boxTitle, color: col('sun') },
body: { fontFamily: 'Epilogue', fontSize: pt(9), lineHeight: pt(12), color: col('paper'),
...boxText } };
const bigNumber = { id: 'figure', fontFamily: 'Epilogue', fontSize: pt(26), lineHeight: pt(31),
color: col('paper'), boldColor: col('sun'), ...boxText };
Ein Kasten mit span="page" schneidet eine zweispaltige Seite in Bänder. Auf Seite 2 endet der Brief des Vorsitzes über dem Kasten nach acht Zeilen in jeder Spalte und läuft darunter in beiden Spalten weiter. Im Kasten öffnet :::columns{count=3 breaks="3,5"} die zweite und dritte Spalte bei der zweiten und dritten Zahl (dem dritten und fünften Block der Gruppe), statt den Lauf dort zu schneiden, wo sich die Spalten am besten ausgleichen. Das Absatzformat figure setzt diese Zahlen in 26 pt, und sein boldColor druckt sie gelb.
#3 · Einen Kasten an den Kopf der nächsten Seite gleiten lassen
// In the Markdown: :::callout{type="aside" span="page" placement="top"}. It leaves the flow
// where it stands and takes the head of the next page the flow opens; the text goes on
// filling this one. It has a stripe in the section's colour and no fill. The padding under
// the text drops the floats below the box by a grid line, so they stand clear of it.
const aside = { id: 'aside', backgroundEnabled: false, columnGap: mm(GUTTER),
stripe: { enabled: true, side: 'top', width: pt(2.5), color: col('band') },
padding: { top: mm(3.5), right: pt(0), bottom: mm(3.5), left: pt(0) },
titleStyle: { ...boxTitle, color: col('band') },
body: { fontFamily: 'Epilogue', fontSize: pt(8.6), lineHeight: pt(12.2), color: col('ink'),
...boxText } };
Im Markdown folgt die Notiz zur Zählung dem ersten Absatz über Harrow Down auf Seite 3; placement="top" nimmt sie aus dem Textfluss und setzt sie an den Kopf der nächsten Seite. Der Bericht füllt den Rest von Seite 3, und Seite 4 beginnt mit dem Kasten über beide Spalten. Darunter stehen die Standorttabelle und das Ringdiagramm, beide mit position: 'top', je an einem Spaltenkopf, eine Rasterlinie tiefer, als sie ohne die 3,5 mm Innenabstand unten am Kasten stünden.
#4 · Jedem Abschnitt seine Farbe geben, ohne Trennseite
const palette = {
ink: '#14202b', // text: a blue-black
band: '#0b5d7a', // sea, overridden by palette="band=#…" on the :::part fences
wind: '#3aa6a0', sun: '#f2b134', coral: '#e2674b', // the data colours of the charts
tint: '#eef3f5', // subtotal rows
rule: '#c9d3d9', // hairlines
muted: '#566370', // captions' notes and the running feet
mist: '#9fb1bd', // small print on the ink cover
paper: '#ffffff',
};
// Every colour is linked to its palette entry, so a :::part recolours it by paletteId.
const col = (id) => ({ hex: palette[id], model: 'hex', paletteId: id });
const colorPalette = Object.entries(palette)
.map(([id, hex]) => ({ id, name: id, value: { hex, model: 'hex' } }));
Mit parts: { page: false } öffnet ein Direktivenblock wie :::part{number="02" title="Operations" palette="band=#1c6e67"} keine Seite. Er benennt den Abschnitt für den Auftaktstreifen und die lebenden Fußzeilen und tauscht band auf jeder Seite bis zum nächsten Teil aus. Streifen, Zwischentitel, Aufzählungszeichen, Bezeichnungen der Bildunterschriften und die Linie der Notiz nehmen alle band, deshalb drucken die Betriebsseiten in Petrol und die Finanzseite in Ziegelrot, während der Brief des Vorsitzes das Meerblau der Grundgestaltung behält (Farben pro Teil).
#5 · Die Tabellen aus den Daten bauen und die letzte Seite bündig schließen
const DATA = {
// Output in MWh at the export meter, January to December 2025.
wind: [560, 520, 450, 330, 270, 210, 190, 150, 300, 420, 480, 540], // Harrow Down

};
const fill = { background: col('tint') }; // totals sit on a tint between two hairlines
const right = (content, extra) => ({ content, align: 'right', ...extra });
const figure = (n, digits = 0) => n.toLocaleString('en-GB', { minimumFractionDigits: digits });
const head = (c, i) => (i ? right(c, { isHeader: true }) : { content: c, isHeader: true });
const siteTable = (rows) => ({ headerRowCount: 1, columnWidths: [3, 1, 1.3, 1.3], rows: [
['Site', 'MW', '2025', '2024'].map(head),
...rows.map(([site, source, mw, ...n]) => [{ content: `${site} *(${source})*` },
right(figure(mw, 1)), ...n.map((v) => right(figure(v)))]),
[{ content: '**All sites**', ...fill }, ...[2, 3, 4].map((i, k) => right(`**${figure(rows
.reduce((sum, row) => sum + row[i], 0), k ? 0 : 1)}**`, fill))]] }); // the totals, summed
// Accounting style: losses in brackets, and gains followed by a no-break space, as wide as a
// bracket in a monospaced face, so the digits line up.
const pad = '\u00a0';
const money = (n) => (n < 0 ? `(${figure(-n)})` : `${figure(n)}${pad}`);
function statement(rows) {
const sum = [0, 0];
const cells = [['£ thousand', `2025${pad}`, `2024${pad}`].map(head)];
for (const [label, ...years] of rows) {
years.forEach((n, i) => { sum[i] += n; });
const sub = label.startsWith('='); // a subtotal: the running sum, in bold
cells.push(sub ? [{ content: `**${label.slice(1)}**`, ...fill },
...sum.map((n) => right(`**${money(n)}**`, fill))]
: [{ content: years.length ? label : `*${label}*` }, // a label alone heads a group
...[0, 1].map((i) => right(years.length ? money(years[i]) : ''))]);
}
// mergeCells writes the cells a spanning group head hides (gotcha: merged-cells-hiddenby)
return cells.reduce((model, row, r) => (r && !row[1].content ? mergeCells(model,
{ start: { row: r, col: 0 }, end: { row: r, col: 2 } }) : model),
{ rows: cells, headerRowCount: 1, columnWidths: [5, 1, 1] });
}
statement() macht aus DATA.accounts Zeile für Zeile die Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung. Eine Bezeichnung, die mit = beginnt, druckt die laufende Summe jedes Jahres fett auf der Tönung; Kosten sind in den Daten negativ, also ergibt sich Operating surplus aus dieser Summe, ohne dass eine Summe von Hand eingetragen wird. Eine Bezeichnung ohne Zahlen, Income oder Operating costs, wird zu einer kursiven Zelle über die ganze Tabelle, zusammengeführt mit mergeCells, das auch die Platzhalterzellen schreibt, die eine Zusammenführung braucht. Auf Seite 5 gleitet die Rechnung quer über den Fuß der Seite, unter den Bericht des Schatzmeisters, der das Dokument schließt. Ohne Ausgleich liefen die Spalten links auf 12 und rechts auf 9 Zeilen; der Schlussschnitt setzt beide auf 11, und der Überschriftenhebel fügt über Cash and reserves die Zeile hinzu, die der rechten Spalte noch fehlt.

Together they made 8.47 gigawatt-hours in the year, 6% more than in 2024. At the regulator’s figure of 2,700 kilowatt-hours for a typical home, that is the yearly use of about 3,100 households, more than there are in Tidewell itself. The board was most pleased by how evenly the output was spread over the year. The turbines are strongest from October to March and the panels from April to September, and in 2025 each covered for the other so well that no month fell below 600 megawatt-hours. The operations report shows the two side by side. :::callout{type="figures" span="page" title="2025 in three numbers"} :::columns{count=3 breaks="3,5"} :::paragraphs{style="figure"} **8.47 GWh** ::: generated by our turbines and panels, 6% more than in 2024 :::paragraphs{style="figure"} **2,316** ::: members at 31 December, 188 of them new this year :::paragraphs{style="figure"} **£84,000** ::: granted by the Tidewell Fund to 23 projects in the town ::: ::: The costliest setback came in August, when the main bearing of turbine 2 began to fail and the machine stood still for 19 days while a crane crew replaced it. Our insurer paid most of the bill, but the part it did not cover, together with the lost output, is the main reason why the surplus is a little smaller than last year’s. The treasurer explains the effect on the accounts in her report. Membership grew to 2,316 by the end of December. In all, 188 people joined, most of them through the share offer we ran with the three primary schools in May, and 31 withdrew their shares, nearly all of them because they had moved away. Our youngest member is nine; her shares were a birthday present. We paid 3.5% interest on shares for the eighth year running. The Tidewell Fund, which takes a share of each year’s surplus, made 23 grants worth £84,000. They paid for loft insulation in the scout hut and the chapel hall, a library of electric cargo bikes and a warm-homes advice service that visited 140 households last winter. In the coming year we will ask you to approve our largest investment since the Saltings: a battery beside the solar field that stores 2 megawatt-hours, so that we can sell the midday output in the evening, when the grid pays most for it. The district council gave planning permission in November. The board will present the business case at the annual general meeting on 14 May, and members will decide there by a simple majority. Volunteers read the 21 roof meters every month, and eleven of them share the shifts on our stall at the Saturday market. Thank you to them, to the staff in the office on Quay Street, and to every member for trusting the co-op with their savings. I look forward to seeing many of you in May. ::resource{id="signature"} :::paragraphs{style="signoff"} Maren Coles, chair of the board ::: :::part{number="02" title="Operations" palette="band=#1c6e67"} ::: # Harrow Down, the Saltings \\ and 21 roofs {kicker="Operations report" standfirst="How two wind turbines, a solar field and the panels on schools, halls and the fire station ran in 2025. By Dev Okafor, operations manager."} Our three sites generated 8,470 megawatt-hours of electricity in 2025, up from 7,990 the year before (:ref{id="monthly"}). The turbines made 4,420 of them and the panels 4,050: it is the first year in which the sun came within a tenth of the wind. Every figure in this report is measured at the export meter, and the box overleaf explains what that means. ## Harrow Down The two 900-kilowatt turbines ran at an average capacity factor of 28.0%, against 28.8% in 2024. January was their windiest month since they were commissioned in 2015, at 560 megawatt-hours, with a gust of 31 metres a second recorded at hub height on the 24th. The storm cost us nothing but a tripped breaker at the substation, reset within the hour. :::callout{type="aside" span="page" placement="top" title="How we count a kilowatt-hour"} :::columns{count=2 breaks="2"} Every site has two meters. The turbines and inverters log what they generate, and a meter owned by the grid operator records what leaves the site. The figures in this report are the second kind: what the grid bought from us, after the site’s own use and the losses in cables and transformers, which come to about 2% at Harrow Down. The grid operator reads the export meters every half hour, and each month we check its readings against our own logs. Where the two disagree by more than 1%, the operator’s reading stands, because it is the one we are paid for. Roof hosts are billed from their own meters, read by a volunteer on the first Saturday of each month. ::: ::: Turbine 2 lost 19 days in August. A vibration alarm on 4 August led to an inspection that found spalling on the races of the main bearing, and we stopped the machine rather than risk the gearbox behind it. The replacement came from the manufacturer’s store in Bremen, a crane crew fitted it in two days of calm weather, and the turbine was back in service on 23 August. Turbine 1 ran through the summer, stopping only for its scheduled service in June. ## The Saltings and the roofs The solar field produced 3,190 megawatt-hours from its 3.2 megawatts of panels, or 997 kilowatt-hours for every kilowatt installed, its best since it opened in 2019. June was the strongest month on record for our panels, at 600 megawatt-hours across all sites. On the 21 roofs the panels made 860 megawatt-hours (:ref{id="sites"}). The three largest roofs were: - Tidewell Academy, 212 megawatt-hours; - the leisure centre, 148; - the fire station, 61. Roof hosts used 610 megawatt-hours on site, at 15p a kilowatt-hour, well below what a supplier would charge, and the rest went to the grid. In March a hailstorm cracked 38 panels at Saltmarsh Primary. The installer replaced them under warranty within a fortnight. ## Availability The turbines were available for 94.8% of the hours in the year, down from 97.9% in 2024 (:ref{id="hours"}). The hours they could not run, counted across both machines, were lost to: - the bearing repair on turbine 2, 2.6% of the year; - servicing and grid outages, 1.8%; - the summer nights stopped for bats, 0.8%: both turbines stop on warm, calm nights from May to September, when bats feed around the towers, as the planning consent requires. For the rest of the year the turbines were either generating, 78.0% of the hours, or waiting with the wind below the 3 metres a second they need to start turning. The maintenance contract with the manufacturer guarantees 97% availability, and it pays us for the output lost below that level: £21,000 for 2025, which appears in the accounts as a reduction in maintenance costs. ## Grid limits On eleven sunny afternoons in May and June the distribution network operator asked us to cap the Saltings’ export at half its capacity while it rebuilt the overhead line at Marsh End. It paid us for the 64 megawatt-hours we could not export, at the price in our power purchase agreement; they are left out of this report’s output figures. The rebuilt line can carry the field’s full output, so the caps should not return. ## The sites Nobody was hurt at work on our sites in 2025, our tenth year without a lost-time accident. A flock of 140 Southdown ewes kept the grass short under the panels on the Saltings from March to October; they belong to a farmer in the next parish, who pays no rent for the grazing. In June the ecologist’s survey counted 31 skylark territories in the field margins, against 24 before the field was built. Three schools and a Scout group came to the open day at Harrow Down in September. ## The year ahead Turbine 1 is due the ten-year inspection of its gearbox in April, and we have booked the work for a week with a low wind forecast. On the Saltings we will replace the fence along the sea wall, which the winter tides have undermined in two places, and plant the hawthorn hedge that the planning consent asked for. If members approve the battery in May, the connection works would start in the autumn, and the battery could be storing the field’s midday output by the summer of 2027. :::part{number="03" title="Finances" palette="band=#b0452c"} ::: # Paying 3.5% and still \\ adding to reserves {kicker="Treasurer’s report" standfirst="Income rose 5% to £1.09 million. After interest, grants and tax, the co-op kept a surplus of £36,000. By Alison Pryce, treasurer."} Our income for the year was £1,088,000, 5% more than in 2024 (:ref{id="accounts"}). Almost all of the increase came from selling more electricity: the price set in our power purchase agreement hardly changed at its review in April. Costs rose by £49,000. Operation and maintenance came to £231,000, £33,000 more than in 2024: the bearing repair cost us £54,000 after insurance, and the manufacturer’s availability guarantee paid back £21,000. Out of an operating surplus of £292,000, the co-op paid £54,000 of interest on the loan that built Harrow Down, which ends in 2031, and £113,000 of interest on members’ shares. The board then gave £84,000 to the Tidewell Fund and £5,000 went in corporation tax, leaving £36,000 to add to reserves. ## Cash and reserves At the end of the year the co-op held £612,000 in cash, of which £400,000 is set aside for the gearbox overhauls due in 2027 and 2028. Members’ share capital stood at £3.24 million: the 188 new members bought £94,000 of shares and the 31 who left withdrew £64,000.`; // content.<lang>.md, inlined by the Cookbook // #region art: the cover's ribbons and the charts, drawn from DATA with the page's palette const MONTHS = ['J', 'F', 'M', 'A', 'M', 'J', 'J', 'A', 'S', 'O', 'N', 'D']; const n2 = (v) => +v.toFixed(2); // The faces of the drawings' labels, named on the root element: loadSvg embeds them. const LABELS = 'font-family="Spline Sans Mono" font-weight="500"'; const HAND = 'font-family="Mrs Saint Delafield"'; // A smooth path through points (Catmull–Rom turned into cubic Béziers). function smooth(pts) { let d = `M${n2(pts[0][0])} ${n2(pts[0][1])}`; for (let i = 0; i < pts.length - 1; i++) { const [p0, p1, p2, p3] = [pts[i - 1] ??

Häufiger Fehler
avoidWidows schützt den Fuß einer Spalte, avoidOrphans ihren Kopf
Postext benennt die beiden einzelnen Zeilen auf eigene Weise: avoidWidows (widowMinLines, widowPenalty) verhindert, dass die erste Zeile eines Absatzes allein am Fuß einer Spalte steht (im Deutschen eine Waise, der Schusterjunge), und avoidOrphans (orphanMinLines, orphanPenalty), dass seine letzte Zeile allein am Kopf der nächsten steht (eine Witwe, das Hurenkind). Viele Satzhandbücher vergeben die beiden Namen umgekehrt, wählen Sie die Einstellung also danach, wo sie wirkt. Beide sind standardmäßig aktiv, außer auf einem Zeichenraster (cjk.grid): dort ist avoidWidows aus, in der Region Japan auch avoidOrphans, damit eine Seite die Zeilen aufnimmt, die ihr Raster zählt (seit postext 1.28). Sie wirken als Strafwerte: das Layout wägt jeden gegen die Leerzeilen ab, die seine Befolgung hinterließe. Witwen, Waisen und kurze Ausgangszeilen →
- Unterscheiden sich die Spalten einer Schlussseite um eine Zeile, bleiben sie, wie sie sind, die linke Spalte eine Zeile länger, so wie ein Setzer sie stellen würde; der Schlussschnitt greift erst ab einem Unterschied von zwei Zeilen. Damit beide zusammen enden, verlängern oder kürzen Sie den Text um eine Zeile.
- Die Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung setzt Kosten in Klammern. Um positive Zahlen mit ihnen auszurichten, beendet der Pen jede positive Zahl mit einem geschützten Leerzeichen, das in einer dicktengleichen Schrift so breit ist wie die schließende Klammer; eine Tabellenzelle behält dieses Leerzeichen am Ende ihres Texts.
