Hi everyone.

I am typesetting a poetry text in triplets and I would like the second and third lines of each triplet to be indented (i.e., in the next example, verse no. 2, 3, 5, and 6).

Is it possible to get what I ask for with ConTeXt?

The most I managed to do is this:

\starttext

\setupindenting[yes,1em] \setuplines[indenting=even]

\startlines Per correr miglior acque alza le vele omai la navicella del mio ingegno, che lascia dietro a sé mar sì crudele; e canterò di quel secondo regno dove l'umano spirito si purga e di salire al ciel diventa degno. \stoplines

\stoptext

but that's not what I want. I'll add this

\setuplines[indentnext={0pt,10pt,15pt,20pt}]

% \setuplines[indentnext={0pt,*,*}]

which then is a challenge for WS to get in the setups and for you to wikify

Are you sure you use the correct key?

Well, we have that key (and maybe some day we can do that for all), i was wondering about 'left' but then we'd need some \cycle command or so Hans -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Taco, this works! Thank you!

Now (last question), it's possibile to centering in the middle of the page the whole verse block ? You can use the framedtext environment but the content can no longer split across pages.

\starttext \startframedtext[middle][frame=off,width=fit] \startlines Per correr miglior acque alza le vele omai la navicella del mio ingegno, che lascia dietro a sé mar sì crudele; e canterò di quel secondo regno dove l'umano spirito si purga e di salire al ciel diventa degno. \stoplines \stopframedtext \stoptext Wolfgang

I have found this, that works, buy I don't know if there's a possibility of using less code: % !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode % !TEX TS-program = ConTeXt-MkIV % questo codice centra il blocco dei versi sulla pagina \defineframedtext [poemframed] [width=\textwidth, autowidth=force, align=flushleft, before=, after=, frame=off] \definenarrower[poemnarrower] \definelines [poemlines] [before={\startpoemnarrower[left]}, after=\stoppoemnarrower] \definebuffer[poem] \def\stoppoem{\setups{poems:buffer}} \startsetups poems:buffer \setupnarrower[poemnarrower][left=0pt] \setbox\scratchbox\vbox {\poemframed {\startpoemlines \getpoem \stoppoemlines}} \edef\poemhsize{\the\dimexpr(\hsize-\wd\scratchbox)/2\relax} \setupnarrower[poemnarrower][left=\poemhsize] \startpoemlines \getpoem \stoppoemlines \stopsetups % questo codice rientra ogni secondo e terzo verso \unprotect \installindentingmethod {three} {\c_spac_indentation_toggle_state\plusthree} \unexpanded\def\spac_indentation_tri_toggle_indeed {\glet\checkindentation\spac_indentation_tri_toggle} \unexpanded\def\spac_indentation_tri_toggle {\gdef\checkindentation {\spac_indentation_remove \gdef\checkindentation{\spac_indentation_tri_toggle_indeed}}} % this next macro is redefinition of a core macro! \def\spac_indentation_check_toggle {\ifcase\c_spac_indentation_toggle_state % nothing \or \spac_indentation_no_toggle \or \spac_indentation_do_toggle \or \spac_indentation_tri_toggle \fi} \protect % questo codice attiva il rientro \setupindenting[yes,1em] \setuplines[indenting=three] \starttext \startpoem Per correr miglior acque alza le vele omai la navicella del mio ingegno, che lascia dietro a sé mar sì crudele; e canterò di quel secondo regno dove l'umano spirito si purga e di salire al ciel diventa degno. Ma qui la morta poesì resurga, o sante Muse, poi che vostro sono; e qui Calïopè alquanto surga, seguitando il mio canto con quel suono di cui le Piche misere sentiro lo colpo tal, che disperar perdono. \stoppoem \stoptext Il giorno gio 2 lug 2020 alle ore 17:14 Tommaso Gordini < illinguista1972@gmail.com> ha scritto:

Thanks, Wolfgang. Your example works, but the verse indentation ( \setuplines[indenting=three]) is lost. There's a way to preserve it?

The following example needs version 2020.07.02 or newer. Nice !
