Dear all, can you explain why the following code does not produce an
horizontal spacing for the second line ? I am using MarkIV.

\starttext
\hskip2em a\crlf
\hskip4em a\crlf
\stoptext

Best regards,

because the par builder will discard the second skip; instead use:

\hskip2em a\crlf
\strut\hskip4em a\crlf
