about character expansion

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I would like to introduce character expansion to novice users.

I know that ConTeXt adds values automatically.

But I’m interested in showing extremely stretched and shrinked
characters, as an example of character expansion done wrong.

Sorry for not providing a minimal example, but I don’t have any idea
about how to achieve that.

Does anyone know how to do it?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
