hi there,
i am puzzled about the following issue.
there's extra whitespace between the centered line
and startlines, while when using \crlf, there is not.
\startlines is an environment i guess (i come from latex)
and some environments sometimes add extra whitespace
in latex, if i recall correctly.
when i use \nowhitespace between midaligned and startlines,
the whitespace is smaller, but still there, depending on
where the actual text is on the page.
how can i get rid of the whitespace entirely?
\starttext
\startnarrower[3cm]
\midaligned{test}
\startlines
There snores -- I mean sleeps -- my wife so frail.
There snores -- I mean sleeps -- my wife so frail.
\stoplines
\stopnarrower
\startnarrower[3cm]
\midaligned{test}
There snores -- I mean sleeps -- my wife so frail.\crlf
There snores -- I mean sleeps -- my wife so frail.
\stopnarrower
\stoptext

Use the before and after mechanism.
\setuplines[before={\startnarrower[3cm]},after=\stopnarrower]
\midaligned{test}
\startlines

thanks for the tip.
sometimes there still is extra whitespace. but \nowhitespace
seems to supress them without problems.
i think i should also add, that the document has
\setuptolerance [strict]
so it's not verystrict...
