keep text strictly inside box

As can be seen in this screenshot, the text overshoots on the right side the boundary of the fairly narrow \framedtext. My intent is to not hyphenate the names, even if that means a ragged edge on the right side. But at the same time the text must absolutely stay within the confines of the framedtext. I played with \raggedright, \tolerance, \looseness, \emergencystretch but no combination of them seems sufficient fto force all gtext inside. Is there another solution to force the text inside the box or do I have to insert linebreaks manually (a nuisance to be avoided, of course.) dr. Hans van der Meer

Use the align key. \starttext \startframedtext[width=10cm,align={flushleft,nothyphenated}] Martinus, zoon van Johannes van Zonnevelt en Johanna Teikenbort: getuigen Adrianus van Zonnevelt en Anna van Oostbroek. \stopframedtext \stoptext Wolfgang

Also, ‘verytolerant’ helps:

align={flushleft,nothyphenated,verytolerant}]

Best wishes, Taco

Another option is to add‘broad’ when you have ragged or centered text, e.g. align={flushleft,broad,nothyphenated} Wolfgang
