Dear gang,

Can one of you remind me if ConTeXt has a command for the following [or  
even if there is a better Plain TeX command]:

\line{This \hfill is \hfill an \hfill evenly \hfill spread \hfill  
sentence.}

Is there a command a la

\ctxcommand[align=r2l,key=spread,width=textwidth]{This is an evenly spread  
sentence.}

or even better

\setupcommand[align=r2l,key=spread,width=textwidth]
\ctxcommand{This is an evenly spread sentence.}

[need lots of 'em]

Played a bit with framed but could not get the linespacing to remain  
constant... ideas?

Thnx in advance and

Best wishes
Idris

\stopsetups

\framed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,setups=stretchline]{This is an

To get proper interline spacing, we have to add a couple of params:

\starttext

\startsetups stretchline

   \spaceskip=0pt plus 1 fill\relax

\stopsetups

\setupframed[frame=off,width=\textwidth,setups=stretchline,offset=none,location=depth]

\framed{This is an evenly spread sentence.}

\framed{This is an evenly spread sentence.}

{This is an evenly spread sentence.}

{This is an evenly spread sentence.}

\stoptext

Thanks a million!

Best wishes
Idris
