No... it was in the newsroup header (I was replying via gmane interface).

Hello,
I noticed that a large number of
\begin{tikzpicture} \draw (0,0) -- (5,1); \end{tikzpicture}
breaks at line end while
\starttikzpicture \draw (0,0) -- (5,1); \stoptikzpicture
just generates an infinitely long line.
Is there any simple way to fix the behaviour in ConTeXt?
Don't know.
I have just noticed that (independent of the second issue) when
placing several items of:
1.) \tikz \draw (0,0)--(4,2);
works OK in both LaTeX and ConTeXt
2.) \begin{tikzpicture} \draw (0,0)--(4,2); \end{tikzpicture}
works OK in LaTeX
3.) \starttikzpicture \draw (0,0)--(4,2); \stoptikzpicture{}
works OK in ConTeXt
4.) \starttikzpicture \draw (0,0)--(4,2); \stoptikzpicture
creates an infinitely long line in ConTeXt
Does that ring a bell to anyone? (It must be something trivial like
eating any spaces after \commandsequence, but I don't know what
exactly.)
Try the undocumented equivalent of \begin{...} \end{...} in ConTeXt:
\start[tikzpicture] ... \stop[tikzpicture]
I also don't like the behaviour in
\placefigure{title}{\starttikzpicture ... \stoptikzpicture}
that has to be surrounded with
\hbox{\starttikzpicture ... \stoptikzpicture}
else the figure gets placed at the beginning of line instead of being
centered.
[explanation snipped]
If neither of these is acceptable, then we can have a simple wrapper around
\start-stop tikzpicture:
\def\startTIKZcode{\hbox\bgroup\starttikzpicture}
\def\stopTIKZcode {\stoptikzpicture\egroup}
which will only affect ConTeXt code.
Would it affect anyone if TikZ would generate an hbox instead of vbox
(at least in ConTeXt)?
That means ... instead of
\let\starttikzpicture=\tikzpicture
\let\stoptikzpicture=\endtikzpicture
having
\def\starttikzpicture{\hbox\bgroup\tikzpicture}
\def\stoptikzpicture{\endtikzpicture\egroup}
This is same as the workaround that I suggested. It should work perfectly
fine in ConTeXt.
