Dear list, I use \(start|stop)lines[spaces=on] to typeset poetry, which seems the right thing to do to preserve eventual initial whitespace. Anyway, I encounter the following issues: %%%%============= cut here ============= %%%%% \starttext this is normal text. \startlines[space=on] this is a {\em test} with a long long long long line\footnote{this is a test with a long long long long line this is a test with a long long long long line this is a test with a long long long long line this is a test with a long long long long line} \stoplines Normal text again. \stoptext %%%%============= cut here ============= %%%%% First, the {\em test} consumes a whitespace, even if after a command the space is supposed to be eaten. Second, the footnote overflows. (Tested with the latest beta). Thanks in advance. Best regards -- Marco
