Line break in verbatim

Line break in verbatim

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi,

Why does verbatim text not line break properly.

\setuppapersize[A5]
\showframe

\starttext
% hyphenate is not the right word here; but illustrates the problem

\type{a very very long line to see if it hyphenates or not, that can 
require a lot oftyping phew}.
\stoptext

Also, it is possible to completely prevent line breaks for \type.

Aditya

You can get a better result with “\setuptype[space=stretch]” but only the “stretch”
keyword for \setupalign/\setuptolerance prevents a overfull line in your example.

\setuptype[space=fixed]

You can also put the text in a \hbox with “\setuptype[command=\hbox]”.
The command key from \setuptype is special because it accepts only
box commands (\hbox, \vbox, \framed …).

Thanks. I was looking for space=stretch (I did not want to change the 
global tolerance)

I don't see why that is the case. Looking at the code, it appears that any 
option for command should work (that is not reset by \tf\tt). For example, 
command=\underbar works as expected.

\underbar is defined as \groupedcommand and doesn’t take a argument, here is a example which fails.

\define[1]\TypeCommand{}

\setuptype[command=\TypeCommand]

\starttext
\type{type}
\stoptext
