Re: Using \setupinterlinespace with \setuparranging[XY], and more

[Pavneet Arora <pavneet_arora@waroc.com>]

By chance I found a possible, but not very satisfying, solution to the
\setupinterlinspace issue when trying to print labels using
\setuparranging[XY]. That is to explicitly set
\setupbodyfont[rm,18pt]\setupinterlinespace
once again outside the \framed directive for the specific label as in the
following MWE.

I haven't seen any answers on my other two questions from the original
post (included down below), so if anyone has any ideas, I would be most
grateful.

MWE:

\definepapersize
	[Label]
	[width=4in,height=3.33in]

\setuppapersize[Label][letter,portrait]

\setuppaper
	[topspace=0.4688in,
	backspace=0.1875in,
	dx=0.1875in,
	dy=0in,
	nx=2,
	ny=3]

\setuplayout
	[topspace=0in,
	backspace=0in,
	margin=0in,
	width=4in,
	height=3.33in,
	header=0in,
	footer=0in]

\setuparranging[XY]

\setupframedtexts
	[width=\textwidth,
	height=\textheight,
	alignment=center,
	frame=off,
	location=lohi,
	alignment=center,
	offset=0pt]

\setuplayout[location=middle]

\definelayer
	[Label]
	[width=\paperwidth,
	height=\paperheight]

\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[schola]
\setupbodyfont[rm,48pt]
\setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex]

\showframe

\starttext
\the\baselineskip\page
\framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,aligment=center]{Label 1}\page
\the\baselineskip\page
\framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,aligment=center]{\definedfont[Serif at 18pt]\setupinterlinespace \the\baselineskip\crlf A long description label that needs to be have its interline spacing adjusted.}\page
Label 2\page
\setupbodyfont[rm,18pt]
\setupinterlinespace
\framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,aligment=center]{ \the\baselineskip\crlf Another long description label that needs to be have its interline spacing adjusted.}\page
Label 3\page
Label 4\page
Label 5\page
Label 6\page
Label 7\page
Label 8\page
\stoptext
