If I do something like:

\startbuffer[version]20230529a\stopbuffer Version: \getbuffer[version]-en

I get whitespace between the content of the buffer and “-en”

What is the proper LMTX way to do this?

You need the \inlinebuffer command \starttext \startbuffer[version] 20230529a \stopbuffer Version: \inlinebuffer[version]-en \stoptext but buffers aren't the right tool to store strings like version information. One alternative solution is to set the string with the \setupdocument command. \setupdocument   [version=20230529a] \starttext Version: \documentvariable{version}-en \stoptext Wolfgang
