Hi Hans, I was trying to keep it simple. I omitted to mention that I also tried \crlf as well, with the same result as \hfill\break (i.e. indentation not as expected). --- On Fri, 18/2/11, Hans Hagen wrote:

Hi,

getting unexpected o/p with the following (both locally and on http://live.contextgarden.net/:

It took me a while to come across the second incantation to get my desired o/p but I would be obliged if anyone would care to comment on why the first does not work as (I) expected.

I would expect both addresses to be indented the same amount but only the first line of the first address appears indented as expected:

\starttext

% define skip before paragraphs (default is no skip) \setupwhitespace[3.5mm] %\setupwhitespace[big]

\hskip 2cm 9/99 Addr Line 1 Street\hfil\break \hskip 2cm Addr Line 2\hfil\break \hskip 2cm City\hfil\break

\startnarrower[2*left]      \startalignment[right]         2/99 addr line 1\hfil\break         addr line 2\hfil\break         addr line 3      \stopalignment \stopnarrower

\stoptext

use \crlf

I am trying to understand how context is working.

Would anyone like to comment on why the following does not work as expected? "hfil\break" and "\crlf" do not indent after the first line (but "\startnarrower" works):

The narrower environment use \leftskip and \rightskip which affects all lines.

\hskip 2cm 9/99 Addr Line 1 Street\hfil\break \hskip 2cm Addr Line 2\hfil\break \hskip 2cm City\hfil\break

\definehspace[address][2cm] \starttext \startpacked \hspace[address]...\par \hspace[address]...\par \stoppacked \stoptext Wolfgang
