There appears to be a bug with \startframed. In the following example,
the instance with no optional argument sets correctly, while with the
use of an optional argument (even empty []) a whitespace is introduced
before the text.
\starttext
\startframed[]
Why a space?
\stopframed
TeX reads "\startframed[] Why a space? \stopframed"
A linebreak is replaced by a space and spaces at the beginning of
a line are ignored by default. Without the optional []
TeX reads "\startframed Why a space? \stopframed"
The first space is "eaten" by TeX while parsing the macro name.
\startframed[]% ignore the space
Why a space?
\stopframed
It is the same behaviour as for \startframed{} ...
Yes. TeX does read it that way. I have written LaTeX packages and know
the issues. ConTeXt, on the other hand, makes an extra effort, at least
with the start/stop commands, to do it differently. That is one of the
primary benefits, to my mind, of using
\starttexdefinition...\stoptexdefinition instead of \def.
Perhaps I am extending my expectation of that improved behavior to
\startframed[], but it is not, I think, an unreasonable hope.
\startframed
This is ok.
\stopframed
\stoptext
This is also not correct, you should use:
\startframed
This is ok.%
\stopframed
\stoptext
Otherwise you'll get a space after the dot.
In a real document I would likely use \par or a blank line at that
point, but I was trying to provide a DWE (demonstrative working
example), if not a MWE, to show the issue with the leading space.
Line-feed hiding with % does not belong in the content of the document
unless one chooses to drop back to TeX instead of writing within the
ConTeXt package.
