Hello, Excuse me, but what 'big' stands for in \blank[big]? Every time I use it, I expect really big white space, but get only hardly noticeable one. Best regards, Vaytcheslav

Hello,
Excuse me, but what 'big' stands for in \blank[big]?
Every time I use it, I expect really big white space, but get only hardly noticeable one.
Best regards, Vaytcheslav
From core-spa: % In earlier versions \type{\bigskipamount} was % \type{\ht\strutbox} and the stretch was plus or minus % \type{.4\dp\strutbox}. Don't ask me why. The most recent % implementation is based on a user supplied distance, which % is by default \type{.75\normalskipamount} where % \type{\normalskipamount} equals the current baseline % distance.
The normal \blank is equal to \blank[big] but you can change this with \setupblank[...] To get bigger values for blank you write for example: \starttext Line 1 \blank Line 2 \blank[2*big] \setupblank[2\baselineskip] Line 3 \blank Line 4 \stoptext The source code is your friend. Wolfgang
