Dear list,
In short, my question is: why does \wordright cause a line-break when the
line preceding it breaks with hyphenation and does not otherwise? How to
avoid it (if at all possible)?
I have this delimitedtext instance called 'amnata' defined as below:
\definemeasure[amnatamargin][3cm]
\definedelimitedtext
  [amnata]
\setupdelimitedtext
  [amnata]
  [
  left=,
  right=,
  leftmargin={\measure{amnatamargin}},
  rightmargin={\measure{amnatamargin}},
  ]
I am using this to quote paragraph(s) of other authors.
Since, I also want to indicate where the quote is from, I use this as
follows:
\startamnata
  ⋮
\wordright{author}
\stopamnata
so that the author's name appears at the right-edge of the block.
When the penultimate line inside the block breaks without hyphenation, then
argument of \wordright is typeset as expected (i.e. in the same line).
On the other hand, when the penultimate line inside this block breaks with
hyphenation, the argument of \wordright is pushed to the next line even when
there is enough space for it on the same line.
Here is a sample illustrating this:
\startamnata
A quote from another author : Suppose that thereisalongwordhere.
\wordright{– author}
\stopamnata
\startamnata
A quote from another author : Here, the text does not cause
hyphenation in the first line.
\wordright{– author}
\stopamnata
[I have attached the output here as an image]
How do I ensure that this does not happen, if that is possible at all? I
suppose this is expected behaviour but I am not able to understand why.
Thanks,

Dear list,

Although, not a fix for the issue, here is a workaround that allowed me to 
achieve what I wanted:

\definedescription[amnata]
\setupdescription[amnata]
  [closesymbol={},
   closecommand=\wordright,
   before=\startamnatanarrower,
   after=\stopamnatanarrower]

\startamnata
A quote from another author : Suppose that thereisalongwordhere.
\wordright{– author}
\stopamnata

With this the argument of \wordright appears correctly at the right-edge of 
the block. Note that this does not work (as expected) when closesymbol is not 
set (or, is empty). Therefore, here I have set closesymbol={U+200B}, which 
is the zero width space.

Thanks,
kauśika
