Hi, if a paragraph is set to align=block the space between words can be stretched. If eg. a japanese word is mentioned in such a paragraph the space between the japanes characters gets spaced/stretched too (see example attached). This may be right for japanese texts, but it is wrong if the main/surrounding language is not japanese (and thus no additional space between characters is wanted). What is an easy way to avoid this? \definestartstop [Japaned] [commands={\language[jp]\DoNotSpace}]?? Steffen -------
