Hi again,
there are many options of setup commands that aren’t properly
documented, and I’d like to fix that.
Additionally, I’m using a few commands that might be outdated or
replacable by better alternatives.
* \setupalign:
– disable
– broad (wider lines, for tables?)
What is the difference to flushleft? When would I use these?
broad is a modifier for flushleft, flushright and middle and not meant
to be used on its own.
\starttext
\startalignment[flushleft]
\samplefile{knuth-gpt}
\stopalignment
\startalignment[flushleft,broad]
\samplefile{knuth-gpt}
\stopalignment
\stoptext
* \setupalign vs. \setuptolerance:
- Does it make a difference where I set the tolerance?
The space option is the only thing which can't be set with \setupalign
and the only reason to use \setuptolerance.
- Does it influence more than hyphenation?
- Is it still necessary to set vertical and horizontal tolerance
separately? (AFAIR vertical does only influence special cases?)
With vertical/horizontal you choose one of two setup modes (horizontal
is the default) which set completely different values.
