Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \startlua a = "a bc de" context(string.collapsespaces(a)) \stoplua \stoptext Sorry for the stupid question, but isn’t the collapsespaces function intended to remove spaces? What am I missing here? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

that it collapses multiple spaces into one Many thanks for your reply, Hans.
I understood “collapse” as “remove”, and obviously they are two different actions. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
