understanding \startTEXpage
Hi, According to https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/startTEXpage it "starts a page that fits its contents exactly". But it seems, that part of the content is cropped here: \startTEXpage X \hskip20cm X \stopTEXpage No problem with 10cm instead of 20cm... Is this a bug or expected behaviour? TIA, -- Peter
Hi,

No problem with 10cm instead of 20cm...
Is this a bug or expected behaviour? Yes. The problem is that in order for auto width to work we need to have some width to start with. Also, because we want TEXpage to be in vertical mode, we cannot assume it being horizontal. So, a chicken-egg

The good news is that you can control it, the bad news is that you have to update the wiki, \starttext \startTEXpage[align=normal,width=900pt,autowidth=force] \framed[width=800pt,frame=off]{\number\dimexpr800pt}\par \input tufte\par \stopTEXpage \startTEXpage[align=normal,width=100cm,autowidth=force] X \hskip20cm X \stopTEXpage \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
