We basically need: <text><glue min-width='XX' max-width='hsize-3*indent'>
and I thought this is exactly what \parfillskip ensures \parfillskip XX plus (hsize - 3*indent)
the fil is taken into account when calculating the best break points and then the XX is fixed but plus/minus can lead to if being less or more, all relative to other fill (distributed)
so, XX plus (hsize - 3*indent) is not a fixed value, it's XX or more
take this:
\ruledhbox to 10cm {x\hskip0pt plus 1cm x}
the skip will stretch more than 1cm
I can see.
But sorry for my ignorance, as far as I understand, \parfillskip is added to the end of the paragraph, so we have rather \ruledhbox to 10cm {x\hskip0pt plus 1cm} % without that 'x' at the end, so no 'glue' distribution is performed
there is but not enough stretch so there will be a warning ... you can see it from
\ruledhbox to 10cm {x} \ruledhbox to 10cm {x\hskip0pt plus 1cm} \ruledhbox to 10cm {x\hskip0pt plus 1fill}
I get it, thanks.
If '\parfillskip 2em plus (hsize - 3*(2em) - 2em)' is specified, I still think we should get space of width at least 2em '####' which can be extended as indicated by hyphens '-' here:
emememememememememememememememememememem emememememem------------------------####
So there are two last line lengths extrems: (shortest) emememememememememememememememememememem emememememem
(longest) emememememememememememememememememememem emememememememememememememememememem
you always add a 2em skip so there will never be a word touching the right margin in the last line;
yes, but this is my goal (!) See https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/084858.html - case (2) I am afraid I hasn't been clear enough yet.
Can I somehow define command globally which takes local block widths?
\parfillskip #1 plus \localhsize-#1-#2, where #1 gap width #2 shortest line width
\availablehsize
So the following \parfillskip specification finally seems to be what I was looking for as it covers both cases in my original question: \setupindenting[yes,2em] \newdimen\lastlineminlength \newdimen\lastlinemingap \lastlineminlength=3em \lastlinemingap=1em \parfillskip \lastlinemingap plus \dimexpr\availablehsize-\lastlineminlength-\lastlinemingap\relax \edef\ward{\cldloadfile{ward}} \starttext \dorecurse{100}{ \hsize\dimexpr\textwidth-#1mm\relax \ward \par \ward \par \startnarrower[left] \ward \par \ward \par \stopnarrower \page } \stoptext As it can be done in one place globally and in almost single line, no special new command is necessary (as requested originally).
