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

Hi,
ConTeXt sets parskip in columns always to one full line and ignores
half lines or any other value but you trick ConTeXt and set the white
again inside of multicolumns.
\starttext
\setupwhitespace[...] % global value
your text
\startcolumns
\setupwhitespace[...] % local value
text in columns
\stopcolumns
more text
\stoptext
You can not only use dimension for \setuwhitespace, you can also use
skip values like \setupwhitespace[3pt plus 2pt minus 1pt].
Wolfgang
