Unwanted whitespace at beginning of document

Unwanted whitespace at beginning of document

[Denis Maier]

Hi,

I have ended up with unwanted whitespace at the beginning of my 
document. The environment definition is already quite complex, so I 
cannot easily tell where the whitespace is coming from. Any advice how I 
could track that down? Are there some tricks for this?

Best,
Denis

Of old I have found the wolf fence tactics useful: Put for example an X at the beginning of a suspected section and somewhat further a Y. OIf they bracket the culprit the offending space will be between them. Otherwise narrow the fence.

1. Create a dummy document where you load your environment, e.g.

\environment[myenvironment]
\starttext
I'm a placeholder!
\stoptext


2. Change the position of \stopenvironment in your style file until the 
whitespace disappears.

Thanks. That was helpful.
