Thanks Hans for having replied.
My message was a bit confusing, sorry about that. I think the problem is that ‘back’ (or \blank generally) does not seem to work the same with negative blank as it does with positive blank. The following :
\showgrid\setuplayout[grid=both]
\starttext
Title.
\blank[2*line]\blank[back]\blank[line]
Line.
\stoptext
Outputs 1 blank line between Title and Line, so that \blank[2*line] is effectively ignored, as expected. But
\showgrid\setuplayout[grid=both]
\starttext
Title.
\blank[2*line]\blank[back]\blank[-line]
Line.
\stoptext
Outputs Title and Line in 2 consecutive lines (instead of being on same line). So \blank[2*lines] is effectively ignored as expected but the \blank[-line] is also ignored too. Is the latter expected or not ?
Thanks again,
Best regards
Joseph
