issue with line breaking and images

issue with line breaking and images

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Hi Hans,

I have the following MWE:

  \setupexternalfigures[location=default]
  \starttext
  \dontleavehmode
    \dorecurse{80}{\externalfigure[cow][width=.075\textwidth] }
  \stoptext

MkIV does break the lines to compose a paragraph, but LMTX doesn’t use
the space to break. In fact, it doesn’t add the space.

There is a simple workaround for that (explicitly adding "\ " between
the closing bracket and the closing brace).

But I wonder whether this might point to a more general issue in LMTX
(or my lack of understanding of MkXL).

Mnay thanks for your help,

Pablo

not really ... commands that take optional arguments will gobble spaces 
and lmtx does that a bit more consistently

so, as \externalfigure takes upto three arguments that is what happens 
... a typical example of where you then have to be explicit
