alignment parameters

alignment parameters

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Hi, for my section titles I’m looking for the alignment parameters that give me:
- left aligned
- no hyphenation (or only where I set breakpoints manually)
- no overfull hboxes

At the moment I have
align={flushleft,extremestretch,nothyphenated}
(would use also hz and hanging, if they don’t interfere),
but in a few cases I still get section titles that are much wider than the text column.

Can I reduce the penalty for underfull hboxes? Or what else?

In case it matters, this is within a columnset.

Best, Hraban

align={flushleft,broad,nothyphenated}

Thank you, but unfortunately it makes no difference.

Best, Hraban

You have to provide a minimal example.

I know. My project setup is just so extensive, and there are several problems that I'm trying to isolate since days…
I was hoping for an easy solution in this case.

I already learned that \setuplayout[grid=strut] makes more problems than it solves while fontfeature dimensions=strut is good; I should avoid frames in section titles (not necessarily, but it’s more controllable without); how to get more control over makeups and that columnsets are somewhat fastidious, esp. with floats…
Still open: this one, different behaviour of \blank in before vs. command, chapters always starting on left pages despite page=no (a side effect of the columnset, I guess), and floats, floats, floats.

But here we are:


\setuppapersize[A6]
\showframe[text]
\setupalign[flushleft,broad,nothyphenated]
\define[2]\MySection{\vbox{#2}}

\setuphead[section][
  command=\MySection,
  %align={flushleft,broad,nothyphenated},
]

\starttext

\section{Rübenheimer Klimaschutz\-kommission interveniert wohlwollend.}
% It should break "Klimaschutz-komission" or put the whole word in the next line,
% but it keeps the first two words together.

\section{Ein Schwarzelf mit Gelatinewürfel zagt im Regen nie.}

\section{Die Donau\-dampfschifffahrts\-gesellschaft lädt zum Tanztee.}

\stoptext

Use \setuplayout[grid=yes] when "grid=strut" doesn't work.

Put the alignment command in the box.

\define[2]\MySection
  {\vbox{\setupalign[flushleft,broad,nothyphenated]#2}}

That’s what I do.

Oh yes, thank you!
Could have tried that myself.
