\raggedright?

\raggedright?

[Gerben Wierda]

I tried to get one piece in a justified text to behave as follows: 
right aligned and with a jagged left edge. But what I tried influenced 
my entire document.

Can someone explain me how to do this?

\starttext
\startalignment[left]
Blah blah blah
\stopalignment
\stoptext

Don't ask why the parameter to \startalignment is left, not right.  Look
at the context wiki [1] for information on why this is so,

Hi Gerben,

with \raggedright one needs to use {}. May be a better approach is to 
use \framedtext[align=left,width=xxcm,frame=off]{your text}
Pease refer to the attached file.

Kind regards

Willi

This also works, and is a bit more natural:

\startalignment[flushright]
Blah blah blah
\stopalignment
