Hi,

for formating a limerick I'm using the code:

\startnarrower
\startlines
\switchtobodyfont[ant,9pt]
The Swiss kicked him out on his ass.
M. Papon will no longer pass
\hskip1.3em For a free man. Long due,
\hskip1.3em Will a sentence come through?
We hope so. It should be a gas.
\vskip1.5ex
\hskip2em David Franks
\stoplines
\stopnarrower

I was trying to define paragraph like:

\defineparagraphs[limeryk]
   [n=1,before={\startnarrower\startlines},after={\stopnarrower\stoplines}]

\setupparagraphs[limeryk]
   [style={\switchtobodyfont[ant,9pt]}]

but when compile, become a warning (error?):

! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup.
\stopsmaller ->\par \egroup

\@@allimerykna ->\stopnarrower
                               \stoplines
\stoplimeryk ->\getvalue {limeryk}
                                  \egroup
l.69 \stoplimeryk

Through, the resulting pdf looks good.

And the second question:

is there a way to format automatically these 5 (optionally, with author name, 6)
 limerick lines, that is add (in macro) \hskip for 3-th and 4th line?

1  The Swiss kicked him out on his ass.
2  M. Papon will no longer pass
3  \hskip1.3em For a free man. Long due,
4  \hskip1.3em Will a sentence come through?
5  We hope so. It should be a gas.
\vskip1.5ex
6 \hskip2em David Franks

Greetings,
