thank you for your explanation. So probably my definition of new
alignment "block" was not successful and when using \setupalign the
alignment with the keyword "block" is simply ignored.
Is there any possibility to find out if the new alignment was really
defined and exists?
\installalign
{block}
{\parfillskip=\hsize
\advance\parfillskip by -1.5\parindent
\advance\parfillskip by 0pt minus \parfillskip
\advance\parfillskip by 0pt minus -1em}
% Next command is probably ignored? Can I test if the alignment "block"
% really exists?
\setupalign[block]
Best regards
Pavel
