Re: [NTG-context] Bug in \setupinterlinespace ?
Thanks Wolfgang! Indeed I didn’t know \setuplocalinterlinespace and the fact that it has to be enclosed between \start \stop grouping. I tried to put this information on the wiki, but it seems that http://wiki.contextgarden.net is down today.

Re: [NTG-context] documentation
Thank you for the response. I'll keep this description in mind when looking up stuff and contribute what I can in the wiki (which is still down for me).

Confirmed. The wiki server (wiki.contextgarden.net) does not respond to ICMP requests. I remember having used the wiki only yesterday so it could be temporary outage. The git server (git.contextgarden.net) is still running, though. Only wiki, live and modules are down (plus tlcontrib). Minimals and alike still work. The domain contextgarden.net points to one server, but apache redirects to another and that second one is down. This might explain why verification sites show different results. Only Taco has access to hardware.

[NTG-context] textbackground inside itemize
The following code produces a textbackground whose background color enters
into the itemize label area on the second (and succeeding) lines of the
paragraph. I would appreciate advice on fixing this.
Thanks,
Troy Henderson
