I am setting up the space after a period. From the context manual, it is said that "Default a space is placed after a period that ends a sentence. In some countries it is custom to stretch the space after a period. ... One can however change this spacing

\setupspacing[...] ....broad packed

if this argument is set as 'broad', what is the exact space? Let's say I want two spaces after the period, how to set this?

something like: \def\myfrenchspacing{\setfrenchspacing{2000}} \definespacingmethod[myfrenchspacing]{\mynewfrenchspacing} \setupspacing[myfrenchspacing] ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
