Dear list,
I use \(start|stop)lines[spaces=on] to typeset poetry, which seems the right thing to do to preserve eventual initial whitespace.
Anyway, I encounter the following issues:
%%%%============= cut here ============= %%%%% \starttext
this is normal text.
\startlines[space=on]
this is a {\em test} with a long long long long line\footnote{this is a test with a long long long long line this is a test with a long long long long line this is a test with a long long long long line this is a test with a long long long long line}
\stoplines
Normal text again.
\stoptext %%%%============= cut here ============= %%%%%
First, the {\em test} consumes a whitespace, even if after a command the space is supposed to be eaten.
Hi Marco, I remember I brought this up a while ago: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20100916.124413.0e12af0e.en.html Seems like one can avoid the spaces through grouping (or with “\gobbleoneargument”; or by using a single-argument wrapper instead of a font switch; or by using an active character for termination of the macro name; refer to spac-lin.mkiv, lines 18--31, for the official options).
