\stretched

\stretched

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

In the next version, the \stretched command has been replaced by a new 
one using the character kerning feature.

\hbox to 5cm{\stretched{to the limit}}
\stretched{to the limit}
\stretched[width=10cm]{to the limit}

In addition one can set a style and color.

Hans

Hello!

I just downloaded yesterday night's version of Context and tried the example provided. - What is wrong with the first line with the \hbox? This stretched text is as long as the second line and uses the whole text width. The third line has a width of 10cm as it seems.

\ruledhbox to 5cm{\stretched{to the limit}}
means that the box has 5cm, but \stretched must use some horizontal size
(i.e \hsize)
to stretch the text. The twos are different lengths: it doesn't make much
sense to strecth the text "to the limit" to its natural width (yes, it
makes sense --- stretched is nil)
try
\ruledhbox to 5cm{\stretched{to the limit}}
\ruledhbox to 5cm{\hsize=5cm\stretched{to the limit}}
\ruledhbox to 5cm{\hsize=0cm\stretched{to the limit}}
\ruledhbox{\stretched{to the limit}}
\ruledhbox{\stretched[width=10cm]{to the limit}}

Hi Luigi,

thanks for the explanation, now (finally) I understand the mechanism…
