Re: [NTG-context] Example from FAQ not working
Hi, now I noticed that I can even use some non-existing alignment: \setuppapersize[A5] \setuplayout[location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt, height=fit, width=109mm ] \setupindenting[next,\baselineskip] \indenting[yes] \setupalign[nonexisting] \starttext Today, automated typesetting is quite popular, which is partly due to the fact that document coding standards have evolved, in particular XML. For instance, when you navigate the internet, a typesetting engine is at work to render the pages. When you ask for a print preview, you often get a different rendering. So, one document source can result in different views. The vehicle that we use for automated typesetting of books is called CONTEXT. This system is based on the well known typesetting engine and language TEX and the graphic programming environment METAPOST. \stoptext This example is processed without errors although there is no definition of the alignment "nonexisting". Is it not strange? Pavel
Hi,
I tried this example from Context FAQ but without success:
\installalign {block} {\parfillskip=\hsize \advance\parfillskip by -1.5\parindent \advance\parfillskip by 0pt minus \parfillskip \advance\parfillskip by 0pt minus -1em}
% followed by \setupalign[block]
I expected no last line will be shorter than the paragraph indenting, but it didn't work.
If I used the plainTeX commands directly (without trying to install and use the new alignment) everything worked as expected:
\parfillskip=\hsize \advance\parfillskip by -1.5\parindent \advance\parfillskip by 0pt minus \parfillskip \advance\parfillskip by 0pt minus -1em
Has anybody the explanation for this?
My luatex version is beta-0.74.0-2012122510 (TeX Live 2013/dev)(rev 4541).
Best regards
Pavel

When ConTeXt parses the \setupalign command it looks if the keyword is defined and executes it but when the keyword isn’t defined its just ignored. Wolfgang
