Dear all, can you explain why the following code does not produce an horizontal spacing for the second line ? I am using MarkIV. \starttext \hskip2em a\crlf \hskip4em a\crlf \stoptext Best regards, -- Flavien. ---------------------------- "Quantum objects are completely crazy but, at least, they are all crazy in the same way."

because the par builder will discard the second skip; instead use: \hskip2em a\crlf \strut\hskip4em a\crlf ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
