Hi all,

I'm sorry to hijack the thread but I have trouble understanding
how the [space=on] works. In the following example:

···8<····························································

\setuplines[space=on]
\starttext
\startlines
A one, two, a one two three four 

Half a {\em{bee}}, philosophically, 
    must, ipso facto, half not be. 
But half the bee has got to be, 
    vis a vis its entity. {\bf D'you see}? 

But can a {\em bee} be said to be 
    or not to be an entire bee, 
        when half the bee is {\em{}not a bee}, 
            due to some ancient injury? 
\stoplines
\stoptext

···8<····························································

the spaces after the formatting commands “\em” and “\bf” are
respected unless the following token starts a group. Is this
working as expected?

Another question: How can I reproduce MkII's behaviour of
indicating the spaces in MkIV?

Thanks for the help,

Philipp


Btw, @John: thanks for your additions to the \[start|stop]lines
wiki page, I just had need for the command for the first time and
it's a good intro.
