Hi all,

I am looking for a way to make startstoplines likes this:


This is a long line
    that breaks,
the second line,
the third line.

So if a line in the poem is too long it shall break and indent.

TIA

You can play with something based on the following, which I made it following suggestions from others. There may well be other ways, but this works for me.

\define\Poemindent{3em}
\define\Poeminset{14em}
\definedelimitedtext[Poe]
\setupwhitespace[medium]
\showframe

\startbuffer[Poem]
  This is a long line that breaks,
  the second line,
  the third line.

  The second stanza starts.
\stopbuffer

\setupdelimitedtext[Poe][
  rightmargin=\Poeminset,
  leftmargin={\dimexpr\Poemindent+\Poeminset\relax},
      before={\setuplines[
                   before=,
                inbetween={\blank[small]},
                    after=,
               ]
              \startlines
              \setupindenting[-\Poemindent,yes]
              \startparagraph},
       after=\stopparagraph
             \stoplines,
 ]

\starttext

\startparagraph

 Here comes a poem – watch the lines break!

\stopparagraph

    \startPoe
      \inlinebuffer[Poem]
    \stopPoe

\startparagraph

 Now, it is gone. Good-bye.

\stopparagraph

\stoptext
