Hi,

I want to measure and typeset the lower case alphabet length. The LaTeX method doesn't work:

\newlength{\alphabetlength}
\settowidth{\alphabetlength}{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz}
\the\alphabetlength

ConTeXt gives me an error saying that \newlength{...} is undefined. Is it undefined because ConTeXt is built around TeX and not LaTeX and \newlength is a LaTeX command (I do not know if it actually is)?

How can I do the same thing in ConTeXt?

Regards

Christoph
