small smaller and vertical stretch
Hi, using "small" and "medium" rather than "8pt" or "10pt" gives some vertical "stretch". Very useful in some situations: \setupinterlinespace[small] \setupwhitespace[medium] But what to do if "small" is still too big? And yet the "stretch" is needed? While I can say ... \blank[.75*medium] ... this operation is not allowed for the two above. So, what to do? Steffen

define a new blank
like this (?) ... \defineblank[smaller][8pt plus 1pt minus 1pt] ... and then ... \setupinterlinespace[smaller] ... provides a similar "stretch" effect as its bigger brother \setupinterlinespace[small] ? Steffen

back on my tex-machine today I've tried the above and ended up in ... !

I also tried ... \def\smaller{\blank[.75*small]} ... which has exactly the same result / error-log. Is there another way to "define a new blank"? Steffen

Blank? I am not sure whether I could make the problem clear: What I need is a kind of \setupinterlinespace[.75*small]. But this syntax gives an error. So the question is: What is the right syntax to make "\setupinterlinespace[small]" smaller *and* keep the stretch? Steffen
