\setuptolerance[stretch] Are you sure, you want to use stretch? It will probably product ugly results.
\tolerance 70 Why 70? I don't understand the use of stretch with such a strict tolerance. What about using
\setuptolerance [tolerant] %% or verytolerant
instead of using stretch?
Is it suitable to use tolerance and stretch in this way together? It will probably work (though I never used it myself), but using the ConTeXt interface \setuptolerance is the better approach.
Of course I want a nice type area - but for me that means that I definitely don't want a word written in the margin! Use a higher tolerance, not a lower one.
(That happens with the default \tolerance 250 (without using stretch). What version are you using? A current ConTeXt has the \tolerance set to 200.
\starttext\the\tolerance\stoptext
Correct, my version has tolerance=200 as default, too. But in the manuel I read 250, so it was my mistake. My question is: I want to be absolutely sure, that no word is written in the margin with my settings. And if I use only \setuptolerance [tolerant] it might still happen. The reason for the smal tolerance was, that I want very small tolerance (= nice result ?) in most cases, but if a word is written in the margin, then it should stretch (word in the margin = worst case for me)
