i'm not sure what you mean .. narrower? \startnarrower[right] ... \stopnarrower otherwise you need to locally mess around with tolerance and penalties or the width of a space Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

What is the best way to „mess around“? Is it preferable (if changing the text or layout is no option) to set a bigger inter-word space or a more tolerant expansion or both? The latter I tried to achieve, but with no luck (attachment). Perhaps someone has further/better suggestions … Greetings Andreas

Wow!! That is one of the best things I have read in a while - it means we can have proper "gesperrten" Text with proper hyphenation! Really excellent, thanks a lot for pointing this out, Wolfgang! Thomas
Thankyou very much for your answers. Wolfgang, I have the following error when I run that code: (c:/contextminimal/texmf-context/tex/context/sample/knuth.texerror: ...tminimal/texmf-context/tex/context/base/typo-krn.lua:121: attempt to index local 'before' (a nil value) I´m using XP ConTeXt ver: 2010.01.18 22:43 MKIV fmt: 2010.1.19 int: english/english what is wrong? thankyou for your help. -------------------- Horacio Suarez
