\type with spaces

\type with spaces

[Johannes Huesing]

Another question:

what is the easy way to set up \type so spaces in, say, 
\type{one two  three   } are typed as blanks but without
these oben boxes at the bottom? Guess I could map the 
character for that to a simple space, but maybe it's 
even easier.

Greetings

Johannes

do you mean that you get no spaces? strange, in verb-ini there should be a 
def:

\def\obeyedspace {\hbox{ }}

it's this macro that you can play with,

sorry, I wasn't precise enough: leadins spaces are not typeset.

i'm not sure about this patch, so i let you play with it; you can best put 
this in a file called cont-loc.tex, which (like cont-new) is loaded at 
runtime but not in the distribution [i use that file for local patches that 
i first want to test myself]

\unprotect

\def\dotype#1%
   {\bgroup
    \strut % enables leading space in \type { abc } at par start
    \edef\@@currenttype{#1}%
    \catcode`\<=\@@other
    \catcode`\>=\@@other
    \futurelet\next\dodotype}

\protect

Works for me; and inserting this one strut should not hurt to much
-- I don't know enough about TeX to see why these \hbox{ }es are 
crimped to zero at the beginning. 

Thanks and greetings

Hi,

playing with the TeX-Live 5; installing over a Win2k, I get the 
following 'capacity exceeded'. Scanning the archives, I saw a proposed
fix, applied it, but no luck. Thoughts? Known fix? (I can't seem to
reproduce the problem on my FreeBSD box, and I'm very satisfied with
the ConTeXt development.)

Can you also provide the .tex file causing the error? It looks like a
forgotten } somewhere.

.tex file is minimal - "hello world" style, and the 'capacity exceeded'
is happening earlier than that it seems. I read it was a TeX-Live bug,
but haven't yet had the time to look into it (memory parameter values
too low?)

Thanks for your response with very short delay.

there has indeed be a problem in one of the tl5's; why not use tl6? On 
win2k you can install over the internet

say

kpsewhich texmf.cnf

in this file, search for the context.* mem settings and correct them, 
something:

buf_size.context         =  200000
extra_mem_bot.context    = 4000000
extra_mem_top.context    = 2000000
font_mem_size.context    =  500000
hash_extra.context       =   50000
main_memory.context      = 1500000
max_strings.context      =  100000
nest_size.context        =     500
obj_tab_size.context     =  300000
param_size.context       =    5000
pool_free.context        =   47500
pool_size.context        = 1250000
save_size.context        =   50000
stack_size.context       =    5000
string_vacancies.context =   90000

in tl6 (fptex) the values are okay.
