justified text

justified text

[Jens-Uwe Morawski]

Ahoi,

today two simple questions (i hope so) caused by a lack of my basic
TeX knowledge.

How can i get fully justified text with hyphenation, as in normal text,
in:
(1) TaBlE (\bTD <Text> \eTD) 
(2) in general in a \vbox{\hsize <dimen> <Text>}

I've tried to modify tolerance (\setuptolerance) but this did not
help.

Thanks in advance.

  Jens

[align=normal]

this normally happens already there, unless you have set justification to 
left / right

\setuptolerance[verytolerant,stretch]

is handy for big docs where you don't want to check justification

thanks. Setting \setuptolerance[tolerant,stretch] for the \vbox
gives the desired result.

While testing i've got the following error:
! I can't find file `tufte}'.
l.15 \vbox{\hsize 6cm \input tufte}

The TeX-input is:
\vbox{\hsize 6cm \input tufte}

'kpsewhich tufte.tex' gives:
/usr/local/share/texmf-context/tex/context/sample/tufte.tex

and even the following works:

\startbuffer
\input tufte
\stopbuffer

\vbox{\hsize 6cm  \getbuffer}

Can anybody explain why i cannot use \input in \vbox directly?

add a space after the filename, or a \relax
