\blank[] doesn't work when nothing precedes it
Dear List, I'm trying to put the document title at around .25\paperheight by inserting a \blank: \setuplayout[topspace=0cm, header=0cm, height=\paperheight] \starttext \blank[.25\paperheight] foo \stoptext But the "foo" still appears at the very top. Does anyone know why it behaves like that, or whether there is a more authentic way to put the first word at .25\paperwidth than inserting a tiny invisible space before the \blank? Thanks! Best, Sylvain
Hi Sylvain, on my computer (TL2020) I am not able to compile \blank with any command defining the dimension (2\paperheight, 0.25\paperheight, .25\paperheight). I do not know why... But if I use another dimension, eg. 5*big or 20cc, it works with \dontleavehmode: \starttext \dontleavehmode \blank[5*big] %\blank[20cc] foo \stoptext Maybe it will help you.

\blank[.25\paperheight,force] A blank at the top of a page is ignored, because usually you use a blank as a separator, that is useless at the top of a page, because the page break is enough to separate two texts. Sometimes you need a blank on top anyway, i.e. at the start of a chapter. In that case use "force". Massi

Thanks Massi, this is exactly what I was looking for. Sylvain
