I am still expanding my knowledge of ConTeXt. At the moment I am playing with \rotate. When using: \rotate[rotation=42]{Tekst kan ook worden geroteerd.} \rotate[rotation=-42]{In elke richting die je maar wilt.}

This is displayed as: / \

I would like it displayed as: /\

How can I do that?

0° lies on the right (W), rotation is counter clockwise. The rest is up ^^^^ East :-D

to you :-)

You lost me. :-{

Tried it and now I see the problem. Sorry for confusing you. :-)

When playing with it, I found that it seems like every rotation wants its own vertical space.

But this is only the case when the rotation is the first thing to be printed on the line. So I changed it to: \ \rotate[rotation=42]{Tekst kan ook worden geroteerd.} \rotate[rotation=-42]{In elke richting die je maar wilt.}

and because it is nicer to have it centered: \midaligned{ \ \rotate[rotation=42]{Tekst kan ook worden geroteerd.} \rotate[rotation=-42]{In elke richting die je maar wilt.} }

\starttext \showboxes \midaligned{ \rotate[location=,rotation=42]{A really loooooonng text..} \rotate[location=,rotation=-42]{Short.} } \newbox\MYboxA \newbox\MYboxB \newdimen\MYdimA \setbox\MYboxA\hbox{A really loooooong text..} \setbox\MYboxB\hbox{Short.} \ifdim\wd\MYboxA>\wd\MYboxB \MYdimA\wd\MYboxA \else \MYdimA\wd\MYboxB \fi \midaligned{ \rotate[rotation=42]{\hbox to \MYdimA{\box\MYboxA}} \rotate[rotation=-42]{\hbox to \MYdimA{\box\MYboxB}} } \stoptext HTH, Peter
