Re: [NTG-context] anaemic spacing around in-line typed text

1 Apr 2007

      Hello Taco,

Thanks, I came up with the following

\def\comm#1{{\tt#1}\,}

\starttext
The \comm{rand} function generates pseudo-random numbers.
\stoptext

I quite satisfied with it, but maybe there is better way to typeset
programming keywords?

Best regards,
Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

The following look ugly because of anaemic spacing before and after typed text.

\starttext
The {\tt rand} function generates pseudo-random numbers.

How to fix it?

If you want the spaces larger than normal interword spaces,
you could consider tagging your calls using a special macro
to do the typesetting.  Perhaps like this:
...
\def\function#1{ #1 }
\starttext
The \function{rand} function generates pseudo-random numbers.
\stoptext
