definewhitespace

[frantisek holop <minusf@obiit.org>]

hi there,

i am in 2 column mode and i can't seem to make
setupwhitespace work.

i would like to put some really small whitespace between paragpraphs.

so for it's 1 or 0.  either a fixed amont of space, or none.

the docs say:

\setupwhitespace[...]
...   none small medium big line fixed fix dimension


but the source defines these in cont-spa.tex:

\definewhitespacemethod [\v!fix]      {}
\definewhitespacemethod [\v!fixed]    {\witruimteflexibelfalse}
\definewhitespacemethod [\v!flexible] {\witruimteflexibeltrue}
\definewhitespacemethod [\v!line]     {\ctxparskip  \baselineskip}
\definewhitespacemethod [\v!halfline] {\ctxparskip.5\baselineskip}
\definewhitespacemethod [\v!none]     {\ctxparskip  \zeropoint}
\definewhitespacemethod [\v!big]      {\ctxparskip  \bigskipamount}
\definewhitespacemethod [\v!medium]   {\ctxparskip  \medskipamount}
\definewhitespacemethod [\v!small]    {\ctxparskip  \smallskipamount}

is flexible for the dimension mode?

what do fix and fixed mean?
(halfline is undocumented?)

does `dimension' mean i can simply give it a tex dimension?
e.g.
\setupwhitespace[4pt]
?

thanks for helping out a tired texer :D
