Hi,
now I noticed that I can even use some non-existing alignment:
\setuppapersize[A5]
\setuplayout[location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt, height=fit, width=109mm ]
\setupindenting[next,\baselineskip]
\indenting[yes]
\setupalign[nonexisting]
\starttext
Today, automated typesetting is quite popular, which is partly due to the fact that document coding standards have evolved, in particular XML. For instance, when you navigate the internet, a typesetting engine is at work to render the pages. When you ask for a print preview, you often get a different rendering. So, one document source can result in different views.
The vehicle that we use for automated typesetting of books is called CONTEXT. This system is based on the well known typesetting engine and language TEX and the graphic programming environment METAPOST.
\stoptext
This example is processed without errors although there is no definition of the alignment "nonexisting". Is it not strange?
When ConTeXt parses the \setupalign command it looks if the keyword is defined and executes it but when the keyword isn’t defined its just ignored. Wolfgang
