Hi,
Why does verbatim text not line break properly.
\setuppapersize[A5] \showframe
\starttext % hyphenate is not the right word here; but illustrates the problem
\type{a very very long line to see if it hyphenates or not, that can require a lot oftyping phew}. \stoptext
You can get a better result with “\setuptype[space=stretch]” but only the “stretch” keyword for \setupalign/\setuptolerance prevents a overfull line in your example.
Also, it is possible to completely prevent line breaks for \type.
\setuptype[space=fixed] You can also put the text in a \hbox with “\setuptype[command=\hbox]”. The command key from \setuptype is special because it accepts only box commands (\hbox, \vbox, \framed …). Wolfgang
