b) Is there a possibility to use relative sizes like \setupinterlinespace[2*big] (which does not work)?

You can write \setupinterlinespace[3].

Thanks! Why can't I put \setupinterlinespace[3] or \setupinterlinespace[big] in the preamble? They only take effect inside \start... \stop... Florian

\setupinterlinespace is reset with \starttext, when you don’t like setup-commands after \starttext use \startproduct.

Hmm, does not seem to work here. I have following setup: \environment env_draft % <-- setting \setupinterlinespace[big] here \startproduct %\setupinterlinespace[big] % works except for references when uncommented \input chapters \usepublications[publications] \placepublications \stopproduct \placepublications seems to reset linespacing as well. Setting \setupinterlinespace[line=1.7em] works throughout the document. Florian

\startproduct <filenename>

\environment env_draft

\setupinterlinespace % can be moved to the environment file

\input chapters \usepublications[publications] \placepublications \stopproduct

\placepublications seems to reset linespacing as well.

Wolfgang, thanks for pointing me into the right direction. This did not work at first ether but it was my fault. I had \setupinterlinespace[big] before \setupbodyfont. This will reset the interlinespace. However, \setupinterlinespace[line=1.7em] before \setupbodyfont works. Still, \setupinterlinespace[big] does not change anything in the publication list.

Can you make a example.

Please see attached files. Apart from the wrong interline spacing in the references section, there is also a missing citation (ELECTRONIC: hh2010). Best, Florian

You have to make a distinction between a absolute and a relative value for the interlinespace.

With \setupinterlinespace[line=12pt] you set a fixed value of “12pt” for the distance between lines while \setupinterlinespace[big] use these value and multiplies it by the factor “1.5”. When you place a register (e.g. your bibliography) context goes back to the fixed value for the interlinespace and the factor is ignored.

Thanks for the explanation, I didn't know that the scale factor is ignored in the bibliography intentionally.

When you want the bigger linedistance for your whole document change the absolute value to 4.2ex (the default value from context is 2.8 multiplied by 1.5 from big).

All right, I will do that. Florian

Hi Florian,

can I interest you in some columnsets?

··8<·····························································

\definecolumnset[three][n=3] \starttext \startcolumnset[three] \setupinterlinespace[small] \input knuth \column \setupinterlinespace[medium] \input knuth \column \setupinterlinespace[big] \input knuth \stopcolumnset \stoptext

··8<·····························································

This should get you even columns.

Great, thank you! Florian
