Apologies, as a very significant aspect of this process was omitted in the previous email!
Don't forget to do:
\setuplines[space=on]
Hi all, I'm sorry to hijack the thread but I have trouble understanding how the [space=on] works. In the following example: ···8<···························································· \setuplines[space=on] \starttext \startlines A one, two, a one two three four Half a {\em{bee}}, philosophically, must, ipso facto, half not be. But half the bee has got to be, vis a vis its entity. {\bf D'you see}? But can a {\em bee} be said to be or not to be an entire bee, when half the bee is {\em{}not a bee}, due to some ancient injury? \stoplines \stoptext ···8<···························································· the spaces after the formatting commands “\em” and “\bf” are respected unless the following token starts a group. Is this working as expected? Another question: How can I reproduce MkII's behaviour of indicating the spaces in MkIV? Thanks for the help, Philipp Btw, @John: thanks for your additions to the \[start|stop]lines wiki page, I just had need for the command for the first time and it's a good intro.
first!

I thought I'd give the mailing list a small change of pace---instead of asking how to do it, I will show you :)
The short answer is:
\starttext My Concrete Poem
\startlines All the white space will print ! \stoplines \stoptext
However, \startlines..\stoplines is not available when defining a macro. I've documented the solution to this situation on my blog: http://drippingdigital.com/blog/2010/09/typesetting-poetry-in-context/
Thanks to Wolfgang Schuster for helping me work it out!
