Thanks, it helped a lot!

I've added this to control the gap (width) between text blocks:
\startcombination[distance=2cm]

And placed following commands inline to suppress the first whitespace character. I like your indentation, but on my Windows (CR+LF) it is suboptimal. Or is there any option for this?

\startframed [align=normal]\input knuth
