Spurious space when using space=on with \startlines

Spurious space when using space=on with \startlines

[Marco]

Hi,

\startlines with  the space=on option produces  a spurious
space. Is that intended? I don't see a reason to introduce
a space.

%%%%%%%%%%%%

\setuplines [style=mono]
\starttext

% for <whatever>
\startlines
for <{\it whatever}>
\stoplines

% for < whatever>
\startlines [space=on]
for <{\it whatever}>
\stoplines

% Workaround
% for <whatever>
\startlines [space=on]
for <{\it{}whatever}> % or
for<{\it whatever}>
\stoplines

\stoptext

%%%%%%%%%%%%

Regards

Marco Patzer

for <\italic{whatever}>


You can use the commands \italic, \bold etc. which accept the text as argument
or you can define your own commands with \definehighlight or \definestyle which
will then also accept a argument like \italic above.

This works, thanks.

However I  still don't know,  where the space  comes from,
since the space after \it is eaten by TeX.
