Hi,
Is it possible to change the shape of the dots of macro \periods[n] to
be like the dots of macro \definefiller[dots][left=\dontleavehmode,
right=\hskip\ZeroPoint\par] ?
% in cont-new.mkiv :
\unprotect
\def\periodsymbol  {.}
\unexpanded\def\enco_periods[#1]%
  {\dontleavehmode
   \hbox\bgroup
   \enco_periods_indeed[#1,\periodsymbol,]}
\unexpanded\def\enco_periods_indeed[#1,#2,#3]%
  {\setbox\scratchbox\hbox to \periodswidth{\hss#2\hss}%
   \dorecurse{\iffirstargument#1\else\periodsdefault\fi}{\copy\scratchbox}%
   \egroup}
\protect
test:
\starttext
    \startlines
        x\periods x
        x\periods[10]x
        x\periods[10,{,}]x
        x\periods[10,{!}]x
    \stoplines
\stoptext
Why the weird syntax, something like \periods[n=10,symbol=!] would fit better.
ok, i'll make a nice one then

Hans
