: Hi all,
I would like to use something like a "half-space" or small space in a situation where neither no space, nor a normal space is ideal.
You can use \thinspace or \, which is the short form of \thinspace.
BTW. The context version of \medskip is \blank[medium].
Thanks Wolfgang. “\thinspace” works perfectly for my purpose. Oddly enough, \, gives no comma and a normal space, \. gives no period and no space with mkiv, and a superscript period with mkii. Could these forms for \thinspace perhaps be obsolete? Best regards, Robert Blackstone

I have no problem to use \, as a space command but when you use don’t put a space between the command and the following character. The \. command is used to create a accented character but it shouldn’t be needed when you have a keyword which allows you to write the character. \starttext a\,b\par a\thinspace b \blank[line] \.{c} \stoptext Wolfgang
