Re: Struggling with \hskip

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Thank you, but one small concern. If I omit second argument altoghether, 
that is

\author{Bla-bla}

is it possible to have skip? (Now skip doesn't work until I provide empty second parenthesizes)

Regards,
Vyatcheslav

When you define a command with two arguments you *need* two arguments,  
context has a few
commands where you can make the second one optional but this requires  
more code.

\define[2]\author{{\itx (#1)}{\hfill\tx bpm=#2\doifnothing{#2} 
{\hskip1cm}}}

Hello,

Thanks, but if I omit second argument, no skip is produced (I often to 
this to have a place for writing number by pen). How to save the skip with

\author{Bla-bla}?

I'd even rather don't have skip if second argument is provided :)

Vyatcheslav

\starttext

\showframe
\author{Bla-bla}{foo}

\stoptext


In this context it is also safe to use a fixed space like '\hbox to 
1cm{}', but that is cheating. ;)

Best wishes, Peter

Struggling with \hskip

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Hello,

The following code worked once, but now \hskip does not make any effect. 
Could you please tell me how to position "bpm=" not strictly on the 
right, but with some margin?

\define[2]\author{{\itx (#1)}\hfill{\tx bpm=#2}{\hskip1cm}

\author{Bla-bla}

Regards,
Vyatcheslav
