I did want to typeset material within framedtext with some white before and after each line. Appropriate for this seems to me: \null\quad material \quad\null\crlf etc.; the preceding \null preventing disappearence of the first \quad.

The strange thing is that the \null in the first line induces an extra vertical whitespace between the top of the frame and the first line inside the frame.

An impression of the result:

----------------------- |� �� �� �� �� �� �� �|� with \null in first line |� �� �first line� � �| |� �� �second line � �| -----------------------

----------------------- |� �� �first line� � �|� without \null in first line |� �� �second line � �| -----------------------

It seems counterintuitive to withhold the \null in the first line in order to have the framing correct. A minimal example on which I encountered this follows:

\setupbodyfont[cmr]

interesting, cmr

Yes, my default font setup sometimes seems to play havoc with me. It turns automagically into lm.

As for the above problem, my brains were a bit rusty I think. Just a leavevmode did the trick:

\startframedtext[middle][width=fit] \leavevmode % <= the solution \null\quad\type{with leavevmode: no more extra vertical space}\quad \null\crlf \null\quad\type{normal vertical space}\quad\null \stopframedtext

in general \dontleavehmode is better since \leavevmode may introduce unwanted whitespace sometimes (i try to avoid \leavevmode whenever possible) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
