Hi all,

I am looking for a way to make startstoplines likes this:

This is a long line that breaks, the second line, the third line.

So if a line in the poem is too long it shall break and indent.

TIA juh

You can play with something based on the following, which I made it following suggestions from others. There may well be other ways, but this works for me. \define\Poemindent{3em} \define\Poeminset{14em} \definedelimitedtext[Poe] \setupwhitespace[medium] \showframe \startbuffer[Poem]   This is a long line that breaks,   the second line,   the third line.   The second stanza starts. \stopbuffer \setupdelimitedtext[Poe][   rightmargin=\Poeminset,   leftmargin={\dimexpr\Poemindent+\Poeminset\relax},       before={\setuplines[                    before=,                 inbetween={\blank[small]},                     after=,                ]               \startlines               \setupindenting[-\Poemindent,yes]               \startparagraph},        after=\stopparagraph              \stoplines,  ] \starttext \startparagraph  Here comes a poem – watch the lines break! \stopparagraph     \startPoe       \inlinebuffer[Poem]     \stopPoe \startparagraph  Now, it is gone. Good-bye. \stopparagraph \stoptext -- Rik

Rik, Wolfgang – thanks a lot. So simple. I wikified it. juh
