Hello,
I'm a newbe to ConTeXt but have allready done some documents in LaTeX. Want to switch to ConTeXt.
There's something that I neither find in the manuals nor at contextgarden. Maybe you could help?!
To realize my micro-typographic needs I'm using LaTeX-commands for defined, possibly non-breakable, horizontal spaces. Those are \, \enspace \quad and \hspace{0.25em} or \hspace*{0.125em}. Now when testing with contextlive @ contextgarden the commands \, \enspace \quad seem to work. Are they plainTeX? But what about \hspace ?
It would be cool to have something like \hspace*{0.125em} in ConTeXt. Is there something like it or a way to make it work or to define it on my own?
\definehspace[notthatbig][.123456em] \definehspace[ratherbig] [12.3456em] test \hspace[notthatbig] test \hspace[ratherbig] test so, it's a symbolic definition vertical spacing is done with blank (and \defineblank) watch how hspace cleans up preceding spaces and ignores following ones Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
