Dear all, 1. I'd like to make a horizontal space using \hspace[3em] inside luacode. But context.hspace({3em}), context.hspace({"3em"}), context.hspace("3em") don't work. And print(" ") doesn't work either. How to make some horizontal space in luacode? 2. There is no white line even though I put "\blank[big]" between Frame(bring it from MetaFun) and text as in the following example. \starttext %%%%%%%% framed Text \startuseMPgraphic{FunnyFrame} picture p ; numeric o ; path a, b ; pair c ; p := textext.rt(\MPstring{FunnyFrame}) ; o := BodyFontSize ; a := unitsquare xyscaled(OverlayWidth,OverlayHeight) ; p := p shifted (2o,OverlayHeight-ypart center p) ; drawoptions (withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor .625red) ; b := a superellipsed .95 ; %fill b withcolor .85white ; draw b ; b := (boundingbox p) superellipsed .95 ; fill b withcolor .425green;%.85white ; draw b ; draw p withcolor black ; setbounds currentpicture to a ; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[FunnyFrame][\useMPgraphic{FunnyFrame}] \defineframedtext[FunnyText][frame=off,background=FunnyFrame, offset=\bodyfontsize, width=\overlaywidth]%.8\textwidth] \def\StartFrame{\startFunnyText} \def\StopFrame {\stopFunnyText} \def\FrameTitle#1% {\setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{\hbox spread 1em{\hss\strut\ss\bf\white #1\hss}}} This is a test line file for blank spaces. \blank[big] % white line is wanted {\FrameTitle{Test} \StartFrame \startitemize[n] \item the first line. \item the second line. \item the third line. \stopitemize \StopFrame } \blank[big] % white line is wanted Here is another test line. \stoptext What should I do to make a blank line before and after Thank you.
