hi there, i am trying to make a document in the form of a movie script ACTOR hi there ACTRESS and hi over there i thought this would work nicely: \startnarrower \midaligned{\sc actor} hi there \stopnarrower but the default narrowness is not good for me. but setupnarrower doesn't seem to work for me. here's a minimal example: \setupnarrower [left=3cm, right=3cm] \starttext not narrower \startnarrower this is narrower \stopnarrower \stoptext also, i put the actor line inside the narrower to get rid of the whitespace between \midaligned and \startnarrower, is there a better way? -f -- today is a fine day for firm decisions. or is it?

The use of narrower is a bit abnormal. Either use: \setupnarrower[left=3cm, right=3cm] \startnarrower[left,right] or \setupnarrower[middle=3cm] \startnarrower % [middle] is default Cheers, taco

thanks a lot. is there a reason this was solved "abnormally"? are there plans to make this more context-ish? or is it confusing only for me? -f -- saint: a dead sinner revised and edited.

\startnarrower (\startsmaller in dutch) is one of the oldest commands in ConTeXt. It predates the now-normal conventions by a few years.

Don't expect any changes to \startnarrower. But perhaps a more predictable alternative could be added. Cheers, Taco
