How can I evenly spread the contents of a box or column-row? In PlainTeX there is
\hbox{Here\hfill is\hfill an\hfill evenly\hfill spread\hfill line.}
but there must be a better (read "ConTeXt-") way. I looked into this years ago and may have found the answer; but I've forgotten it...
============================== \starttext \defineparagraphs[TwoColumns][n=2,distance=2cm] \setupparagraphs[TwoColumns][each][width=5cm,tolerance=stretch] \setupframedtexts[frame=off] \startframedtext[middle] \startalignment[middle] \startTwoColumns \hbox spread \textwidth{Here is the first line 1a} \TwoColumns Here \hfill is \hfill the \hfill first \hfill line \hfill 1b \stopTwoColumns \startTwoColumns Here \hfill is \hfill the \hfill second \hfill line \hfill 2a \TwoColumns Here \hfill is \hfill the \hfill second \hfill line \hfill 2b \stopTwoColumns \stopalignment \stopframedtext \stoptext ============================== How can I get the first column right? Note that, according to the manual, \textwidth gives the width of a column but in this case it apparently gives a full \hsize. RELATED QUESTION: How can I control the distance between rows? I do not want any extra whitespace between rows (i.e., except the normal interparagraph space). Please advise!
