Hello Patrick, thank you very much! Hopely I understand right, that the command \setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch] ( or \setuptolerance[horizontal,verytolerant,stretch] ) will result to \tolerance 4500\emergencystretch\bodyfontsize :-) Richard Patrick Gundlach wrote:
Hello Richard,
could somebody explain me the usage of the \setuptolerance command and its particular parameters?
I have put an explanation on texshow-web: http://texshow.contextgarden.net
The main ConTeXt manual (cont-eni.pdf, pages 87-88) only mentions that it is used [horizontal,verystrict] and [vertical,strict] by default...
I wonder what the vertical form is for (columns?).
On contextgarden.net I've found one example using the following form:
\setuptolerance [{horizontal, verytolerant},{vertical, verystrict}]
This looks incorrect to me. See my comment on texshow-web.
