Hi all, can someone test the attached example with the (latest) alpha version of ConTeXt? Using mkiv I get no additional space in case of the \scratchdimen example. I tried it with two new installations (minimals) from the scratch and also used several luatex versions, but the error remains. Strange...

\scratchdimen is a internal value and redefined in the \framed macro, you get different results in MkII and MkIV because both use their own definition of \framed. Wolfgang

The same "error" is in the month old context and luatex that I have. I suspect that framed or the page builder is using \scratchdimen internally, and that is messing things up. Aditya

well, you can never rely on scratchdimen not being used inside the macro that you call (in this case it's used right at the start of \framed) for mkiv i now use a local scratchdimen but you can not rely on that to happen fro all places where i use scratcdimen myself \def\Space#1#2% {\expanded {\framed [width=\the\dimexpr#1\relax, height=\the\dimexpr#1\relax, frame=on, framecolor=green, rulethickness=.25pt, offset=overlay]} {}} or so is another solution ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

i forgot for one second, that context is evolving... :)

no need to change things on your side. i already use private (scratchdimen) registers in nearly all of my macros, so i'll simply fix the remaining ones.
\def\Space#1#2% {\expanded {\framed [width=\the\dimexpr#1\relax, height=\the\dimexpr#1\relax, frame=on, framecolor=green, rulethickness=.25pt, offset=overlay]} {}}
or so is another solution
