I don't want multiple empty lines to collapse (this is for code listing). 
Here is a minimal example showing what t-vim is doing:

\newcatcodetable \MinimalCatcodes

\startcatcodetable \MinimalCatcodes % for reading t-vim output
     \catcode\backslashasciicode  = \escapecatcode
     \catcode\leftbraceasciicode  = \begingroupcatcode
     \catcode\rightbraceasciicode = \endgroupcatcode
     \catcode\endoflineasciicode  = \activecatcode
     \catcode\formfeedasciicode   = \othercatcode
     \catcode\spaceasciicode      = \othercatcode
\stopcatcodetable

\starttext
\bgroup
\def\obeyedline{\strut\par}
%\def\obeyedline{\blank[line]}
\setcatcodetable\MinimalCatcodes\letcharcode\endoflineasciicode\obeyedline
This is a \color[red]{test}




To check multiple lines as well as color
\egroup
\stoptext



If I replace the {\strut\par} with {\blank[line]}, multiple empty lines 
are collapsed to a single line.
