anaemic spacing around in-line typed text

anaemic spacing around in-line typed text

The following look ugly because of anaemic spacing before and after typed text.

\starttext
The {\tt rand} function generates pseudo-random numbers.
\stoptext

How to fix it?

Best,
Vyatcheslav

If you want the spaces larger than normal interword spaces,
you could consider tagging your calls using a special macro
to do the typesetting.  Perhaps like this:

\def\function#1{ #1 }
\starttext
The \function{rand} function generates pseudo-random numbers.
\stoptext

Hello Taco,

Thanks, I came up with the following

\def\comm#1{{\tt#1}\,}

\starttext
The \comm{rand} function generates pseudo-random numbers.
\stoptext

I quite satisfied with it, but maybe there is better way to typeset
programming keywords?

Best regards,
Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

There is a better way to define such a command in ConTeXt.

\def\comm
  {\groupedcommand\tt\thinspace}

\starttext

The \comm{rand} function generates pseudo-random numbers.

The {\comm rand} function generates pseudo-random numbers.

\stoptext

Hello Wolfgang,

Thanks.

\def\comm{\thinspace\groupedcommand\tt\thinspace}
 works quite well.

From a newbie standpoint, I wonder why replacing \thinspace with \hspace[medium] fails?

(I had another version
 \def\comm#1{\hspace[medium]{\tt#1}\hspace[medium]}
it worked.)

It did not fail, you forget only the braces.

\def\comm
  {\groupedcommand{\hspace[medium]\tt}{\hspace[medium]}}

To get more control over the spacing define your own \hspace:

\definehspace[commspace][medium]

\def\comm
  {\groupedcommand{\hspace[commspace]\tt}{\hspace[commspace]}}
