I can see. But sorry for my ignorance, as far as I understand, \parfillskip is added to the end of the paragraph, so we have rather \ruledhbox to 10cm {x\hskip0pt plus 1cm} % without that 'x' at the end, so no 'glue' distribution is performed If '\parfillskip 2em plus (hsize - 3*(2em) - 2em)' is specified, I still think we should get space of width at least 2em '####' which can be extended as indicated by hyphens '-' here: emememememememememememememememememememem emememememem------------------------#### So there are two last line lengths extrems: (shortest) emememememememememememememememememememem emememememem (longest) emememememememememememememememememememem emememememememememememememememememem I slightly modified your example and even with verystrict settings all seems to be fine (except too narrow blocks, which is not my use case). \showmakeup[glue] \setupindenting[yes,2em] \edef\ward{\cldloadfile{ward}} \setupalign[verystrict,hz] \starttext \dorecurse{100}{ \hsize\dimexpr\textwidth-#1mm\relax \dimen0=\hsize \advance\dimen0 by -8em % 3*em - 2em \parfillskip 2em plus \dimen0\relax \ward \par \parfillskip 2em plus \dimen0\relax \ward \par \startnarrower[left] \parfillskip 2em plus \dimen0\relax \ward \par \stopnarrower \startnarrower[left] \parfillskip 2em plus \dimen0\relax \ward \par \stopnarrower \page } \stoptext The problem here this settings cannot be done globally if there are various block widths. Can I somehow define command globally which takes local block widths? \parfillskip #1 plus \localhsize-#1-#2, where #1 gap width #2 shortest line width Jan ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
