Hi,
Is there a command which returns the number of lines for a given portion
of
text ?
\starttext
\setbox\scratchbox\vbox{\input knuth\par}
\getnoflines\htdp\scratchbox
\getnoflines{\htdp\scratchbox}  % this works
...
Your text has \noflines\ lines.
or: Your text has \noflines lines.
Try: Your text has {\the\noflines} lines.
Best regards: OK
