Hello,
let's have the following example:
---
\starttext
\tt
\input tufte
\hairline
\tfx
\input tufte
\hairline
\tfxx
\input tufte
\stoptext
---
When I look at the result, I see the smaller font the bigger "gap" between lines (or this may be taken as "line height" relative to letter height).
As I would need to type many datafiles, it's important for me to reduce line height, even if readability of the text becomes a bit worse.
Is it possible to achieve this anyhow?
Another question:
How to force new line and new page to start?
- LaTeX provides \newline, \newpage\ linebreak and \pagebreak commands - see e.g. http://www.personal.ceu.hu/tex/breaking.htm.
Does ConTeXt provide similar commands? Or how to achieve this?
Regards,
Lukas

\newline = \crlf
\linebreak = \blank (not completely sure as I do not remember what
linebreak does)
\newpage = \page
