inline-graphics and unwanted line-break
Hi, I have a small metapost graphic I like to use inline. But the arragement behaves a little bit "unpractically". As soon there is no character in front of the graphic context will break the line after the graphic - but as soon there is a character in front of the graphic, context does not adding a linebreak after the graphic. Does anyone know how to prevent the line-break after the graphic if the graphic is the first inline? Thanks, P. example-file: \startuseMPgraphic{zo} color schwarz ; schwarz := (.0,.0,.0) ; draw (0pt,0pt)--(0pt,8pt)--(5pt,12pt)--(10pt,8pt)--(10pt,0pt)--(0pt,0pt)--cycle withcolor schwarz ; \stopuseMPgraphic \starttext \hbox{\useMPgraphic{zo}} test text - why a line-break? How to prevent this? a \hbox{\useMPgraphic{zo}} test text - this is fine: no line-break! \stoptext

\hbox{\useMPgraphic{zo}} test text - why a line-break? How to prevent this?
write \dontleavehmode\hbox{...}, this is normal TeX bahaviour and has nothing special to do with ConTeXt.

the "a" starts horizontal mode but a \hbox did not and this can be sometimes usefull

write \dontleavehmode\hbox{...}, this is normal TeX bahaviour and has nothing special to do with ConTeXt. also \hskip1sp\hbox{...} the "invisible touch" effect :)) -- luigi ... it's new . it's powerful . it's luatex . http://www.luatex.org
\dontleavehmode is \dontleavehmode=\quitvmode. and \quitvmode is a primitive stricly speacking we don't see a space, but a command that switch to a mode to another. And it's also sound good: you have put a command to change status. \hskip\zeropoint\hbox{} ;-) here we see a space of 0pt. Can be a bit embarassing that "a horiz. space of 0pt" make difference between status, because one can think "hey, a space of 0pt is nothing and should do nothing!" (Of course, \hskip0t has sense ) \hskip1sp\hbox{...} here we see a space of 1sp, ie (1/2^16) * 1pt which is invisible to human eye. Here my "invisible touch" effect. It's more "human" because i can say "hey, you have inserted a hor. space very small, so small that you can see it, but it's always a hor,. space not null, so it's reasonable a change of state." btw, the context way is \dontleavehmode -- luigi ... it's new . it's powerful . it's luatex . http://www.luatex.org
