Subject: [NTG-context] Why does text within a very simple xtable seem to not want to take up a lot of free space?
Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2024 05:50:42 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <172715704277.1695.17008062591329562340@cgl.ntg.nl> (raw)

\setuppapersize[letter][
    letter
]

\setuplayout[
    backspace=0.5in,
    topspace=0.0in,
    header=.5in, % No headers
    footer=.5in, % Space for the footer
    width=middle,
    height=middle,
]
 
\setupbodyfont[12pt]

\starttext

\startxtable[frame=off,topframe=on,bottomframe=on,option=fixed,width=1tw,align=middle,]

    \startxrow
        \startxcell
            {\tfa\setsmallcaps \startquotation Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude. \stopquotation - Ralph Marston
            }
        \stopxcell
    \stopxrow
\stopxtable

\stoptext

inputting this code into ConTeXt LMTX 2024 will show you that text after \stopquotation will make - Ralph Marson go into a new line, but there is so much text on the sides beside the first line, that it makes me wonder why the 2nd line was even made. Did I do something wrong with my code?
