Re: [NTG-context] typesetting verse?

24 Aug 2006


      Ok guys, thanks. I eventually went with this:

\setupindenting[medium,first]

\def\startverse%
	{\bgroup
	\setupinterlinespace[medium]
   	\setuplines[indenting=yes]
	\startlines}


\def\stopverse%
   {\stoplines
    \endgraf\egroup}

Aditya,
With the first group of code, I get "indenting=yes" actually appearing
in there; yet the lines aren't indented or closer together
(vertically). I removed the '%' but that didn't seem to make a
difference.
Sorry, that should have been \setuplines[indenting=yes]. Have a look
at the code posted by Hans sometime back.

Hi,
Another simple question--have at it!
I'd like to typeset some poetry. It should be
...
indented,
\startnarrower .... \stopnarrower
...
obey lines,
\startlines ... \stoplines (it is more customizable than \obeylines)
You can actually say
\setupindenting[medium] \startlines[indenting=yes] (other options are
no, yes, odd, even) and see which one you like.

and the lines should be close together, not like separate paragraphs.
\setupinterlinespace[line=2em] .... \endgraf (default is 2.4 em)
...
So far I've got
\definestartstop[verse][commands=\obeylines]
So you can try
\def\startverse%
   {\bgroup
    \setupinterlinespace[line=2em]
    \startlines[indenting=yes]}
\def\stopverse%
    {\stoplines
     \endgraf\egroup}
You could have also done the equivalent
\definestartstop[verse][before={\setupinterlinespace[line=2em]\startlines},
                         after={\stoplines\endgraf}]
