Hello, Thanks, but if I omit second argument, no skip is produced (I often to this to have a place for writing number by pen). How to save the skip with \author{Bla-bla}? I'd even rather don't have skip if second argument is provided :) Regards, Vyatcheslav
\define[2]\author{{\itx (#1)}{\hfill\tx bpm=#2\hskip1cm}}
\starttext
\showframe \author{Bla-bla}{foo}
\stoptext
In this context it is also safe to use a fixed space like '\hbox to 1cm{}', but that is cheating. ;)
Best wishes, Peter
