Apologies, as a very significant aspect of this process was omitted in the previous email! Don't forget to do: \setuplines[space=on] first! On Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 9:45 AM, John Haltiwanger < john.haltiwanger@gmail.com> wrote:
I thought I'd give the mailing list a small change of pace---instead of asking how to do it, I will show you :)
The short answer is:
\starttext My Concrete Poem
\startlines All the white space will print ! \stoplines \stoptext
However, \startlines..\stoplines is not available when defining a macro. I've documented the solution to this situation on my blog: http://drippingdigital.com/blog/2010/09/typesetting-poetry-in-context/
Thanks to Wolfgang Schuster for helping me work it out!
