Well... \switchtobodyfont[20pt] can also be used in paragraphs to change the size of just a few words. But the above suggests that \switchtobodyfont shouldn't be used for that purpose, and commands like \tfc should? > To adapt the interlinespace when you now use \tfa etc. you have to add > \setupinterlinespace to your code (arguments aren=92t needed) to tell con= text > to recalculate it. > Thank you. What I'm trying to learn now is *why* that's true. Or more precisely, where is the boundary between the font-changing commands that automatically adjust interlinespace, and those commands that don't? and what is the conceptual model that motivates the boundary, and helps users remember and predict where the boundary lies? What I think I'm hearing is that \switchtobodyfont is intended for changes of longer duration, say, at least a paragraph. Whereas \tfa and so on are intended for brief changes, to set off a phrase, for example. As an example of "where's the boundary", experimentation shows that \setsmallbodyfont is in the same category as \switchtobodyfont: it automatically affects the interlinespace. Nevertheless I can't find anywhere in the manual or on the wiki that tells me that \setsmallbodyfont differs from \tx in this way (let alone *why* it differs). Maybe I should expect that any command that has "bodyfont" in its name is intended for long-term changes, and other commands aren't? Sorry if I'm being slow on the uptake. Documentation like http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/switchtobodyfont just doesn't seem to explain this difference in intention. Thanks again. I do hope to use this experience to contribute clarifications to the manual. I've already done that some on the wiki (hoping that if I get it wrong, someone will correct my mistakes!)
