Re: [NTG-context] [OT] Full-width justification (xkcd)

I once converted part of the xepersian package dealing with Kashida to ConTeXt (on LuaTeX). Being a newcomer, the result wasn't that great, though it did work for many situations. In a couple of weeks, I will have time to clean it up a bit and share with anyone who's interested. —MHB On Mon, May 9, 2016 at 11:15 AM, Alan BRASLAU wrote:

Wasn't in obvious that I was joking? (Even though deep down I feared someone would reply with "here it is".)

well, its more like challenging us (in fact i remember messing a bit with this fill-to-end-of-line-with-rules stuff that you see in ugly official documents but then decided that lawyers should use justification instead)

It would be a better exercise to compose one's text in verse using words that fill all lines nicely eliminating entirely the need for justification. Maybe this should be an exercise for the upcoming Context meeting?

My entry will consist entirely of four-letter words...
