When I try to use a combination (example = \setupalign[normal,extremestretch,verytolerant,hangingboth,fullhz,hyphenated,] )

and just normal

I seem to be getting the same result when I try to load in a big paragraph. However, there is an obvious difference between me entering (just) flushleft, normal, flushright.

Have those options become obsolete? how am I supposed to know?

Whether there is a difference or not depends on your text, when you have a wide text block and short words TeX can produce good results without the need for additional parameters but when you have a narrow text blocks (e.g. for text in columns) or long words you need additional settings. The example below shows how different options can result in different line breaks but not all sample text produce the same effect, sometimes you get the same result with and without verytolerant etc. Don't forget to enable expansion and protrusion before you use the hanging and hz options because they need these font features. %%%% begin example \definefontfeature [default] [default] [expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] \setuppapersize [A5] \defineframed   [Example]   [width=max,    offset=none,    framecolor=lightgray] \starttext \startprocesscommalist[normal,{normal,verytolerant},{normal,stretch},{normal,hanging},{normal,hz}]   \starttitle[title=\currentcommalistitem]     \startframed[Example][align=\currentcommalistitem]     \samplefile{tufte}     \stopframed   \stoptitle \stopprocesscommalist \stoptext %%%% end example Wolfgang
