Hello,
I know it's a bad habit to use stretched text, but apparently formerly people thought differently. I am typesetting old quotations and would not want to replace stretched text simply by emphasized. Is it absolutely discouraged in ConTeXt or is there any way to have it... (in spite of its ugliness).
It's still recommended in certain cases, for example in all capital or small cap titles. Sometimes I do it and sometimes not.
You can do it in Context. See:

You might have to look into the sources to find other options.

Right, but as far as I understand this solution: \def\CapStretchAmount{.08em} \def\CapStretch#1{\def\stretchedspaceamount{\CapStretchAmount}\stretchednormalcase{#1}} Which is used as so: \CapStretch{\sc The King in Yellow} applies only to small caps?
