Hi, I uploaded a new lmtx version ... it has a new mechanism for manipulating boxes: http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/magazines/mag-1105-mkiv.pdf (also in distribution) Of course experimental but I bet that some can think of usage.

The \copyboxline command doesn't stop at the end of the requested line. BTW: Is it possible to have unbox command to get the width of the content in the lines without the spaces at the begin end. This is useful to get the width of first/last line in a box. %% begin example \starttext \setbox0\vbox {\hsize=4cm one\par two\par three\par four} \setbox2\ruledhbox{\copyboxline 0 2} \setbox4\ruledhbox{\boxline 0 3} %\setbox6 \boxline 0 5 % error [2] [\box2] \par [3] [\box4] \par [5] [\box6] \par \stoptext %% end example Wolfgang
Looks useful for multilingual documents, e.g. interleaved lines or linguistic glosses. The following example worked for me, but I share in case there's a way to do better code from it: \starttext \newbox\spanishbox \newbox\englishbox \newbox\frenchbox \setbox\spanishbox\vbox\bgroup\red\obeylines Conocí a un viajero de una tierra antigua quien dijo: «dos enormes piernas pétreas, sin su tronco se yerguen en el desierto. A su lado, en la arena, semihundido, yace un rostro hecho pedazos, cuyo ceño y mueca en la boca, y desdén de frío dominio, cuentan que su escultor comprendió bien esas pasiones las cuales aún sobreviven, grabadas en estos inertes objetos, a las manos que las tallaron y al corazón que las alimentó. Y en el pedestal se leen estas palabras: "Mi nombre es Ozymandias, rey de reyes: ¡Contemplad mis obras, poderosos, y desesperad!" Nada queda a su lado. Alrededor de la decadencia de estas colosales ruinas, infinitas y desnudas se extienden, a lo lejos, las solitarias y llanas arenas». \egroup \setbox\englishbox\vbox\bgroup\blue\obeylines I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.” \egroup \setbox\frenchbox\vbox\bgroup\darkgray\obeylines J’ai rencontré un voyageur de retour d’une terre antique Qui m'a dit : « Deux immenses jambes de pierre dépourvues de buste Se dressent dans le désert. Près d’elles, sur le sable, À moitié enfoui, gît un visage brisé dont le sourcil froncé, La lèvre plissée et le rictus de froide autorité Disent que son sculpteur sut lire les passions Qui, gravées sur ces objets sans vie, survivent encore À la main qui les imita et au cœur qui les nourrit. Et sur le piédestal il y a ces mots : "Mon nom est Ozymandias, Roi des Rois. Voyez mon œuvre, ô puissants, et désespérez !" À côté, rien ne demeure. Autour des ruines De cette colossale épave, infinis et nus, Les sables monotones et solitaires s’étendent au loin. » \egroup \dorecurse{\boxlines \spanishbox}{% \strut\llap{\hbox to 1.5em{\txx#1\hss}}\boxline \englishbox#1\par \strut\boxline \spanishbox#1\par \strut\boxline \frenchbox#1\par \blank } \stoptext Thank you for the goodies, Hans Regards, Jairo :) El jue., 6 de ago. de 2020 a la(s) 13:13, Wolfgang Schuster ( wolfgang.schuster.lists@gmail.com) escribió:

Nice, I've just tested it and it works fine. Thank you, Hans. Btw, are you gonna include those passages? I have some other samples in the public domain (Shakespeare's Sonnets translations, etc.) in case you're interested in including them.

I made a zip file with some English (original)-Spanish (translation) pairs as the latter is my native language. Sorry for the bias. I guess some other users can use those files for testing language-related features. All of them are in the public domain, so it's safe to use them in any context (pun intended). I'll try to tackle other similar problems which were tricky to solve using LaTeX: the format-agnosting expex does fancy things as glosses and the like, but a better approach based purely on ConTeXt capabilities must be possible for linguistics, translation and language learning, considering the fact ConTeXt already outperforms LaTeX wrt language support.
