Re: [NTG-context] xrightarrow specific size issue

Hi Aditya,

I know the syntax, my problem is about the options for the length of the arrow.

For example

\xrightarrow[big]{abc}

gives a longer arrow than

\xrightarrow{abc}

According to different manuals also specific lengths should be possible. But they don't work. I think it's a bug. (because the example from a documentation doesn't work)

Best regards, Johann

I'm not sure which manual you are looking in to find a reference to the ability to add a specific dimension. In the source I can only find named sizes of 'none', 'normal', 'small', 'medium' and 'big'. You can 'kludge' these by extending the length of the text using hard spaces. Alternatively there is \rightarrowfill which you might be able to put into a frame of the desired width? \starttext $1\xrightarrow[none]{blah} 1$ \par $2\xrightarrow[normal]{blah} 2$ \par $3\xrightarrow[small]{blah} 3$ \par $4\xrightarrow[medium]{blah} 4$ \par $5\xrightarrow{~~~~~~~blah~~~~~~~} 5$ \par $6\xrightarrow[big]{blah} 6$ \par $7\rightarrowfill 7$ \par \stoptext -- Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK
