Dear list, I have the following sample: \showgrid \setupinteraction[option=max] \setuppapersize[S6] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setupbodyfont[100pt] \setupwhitespace[big] \startsetups[setups:slides] \setupwhitespace[big] \stopsetups \setupmakeup[pagestate=start] \definemakeup[slides][setups=setups:slides] \definemakeup[slide] \starttext \startmakeup[slides]\ConTeXt\stopmakeup \startmakeup[slide]\ConTeXt\stopmakeup \page\ConTeXt \startmakeup[slides]program\stopmakeup \startmakeup[slides]descender\stopmakeup \startmakeup[slide]program\stopmakeup \startmakeup[slide]descender\stopmakeup \page program \page descender \stoptext The first page shows that \setupwhitespace[big] affects to a single line in a makeup. Shouldn’t white space be added only between paragraphs? The second page is right vertically centered. And the third page shows that the white space isn’t added before the first paragraph in a normal page (no makeup). This is the first issue, isn’t it a bug? Or what am I missing? The second issue is about the line height. If I didn’t get it wrong from Hans some days ago, line height is the x-height, plus ascender and descender heights. In vertical centering for makeups, why does ascender or descender height affect to basline position? Sorry, but this is a problem for readability. And it think it is better to center the line instead than a group of glyphs. Or am I missing something in this second issue too? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
