 You can flush the content of the buffer in a \vbox where you set the
 whitespace at the begin of the box.
 
 \def\startSlide
   {\grabbufferdata[SlideContent][startSlide][stopSlide]}
 
 \def\stopSlide
   {\startmakeup[standard][align=middle]
\vbox\bgroup
  \setupwhitespace[big]
  \begstrut\getbufferdata[SlideContent]\endstrut
\egroup
\stopmakeup}

Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.

This is exactly what I needed.

 TeX inserts the \parskip value which is set by \setupwhitespace
 before your text in the makeup environment. Note that this happens
 only when you have skip before the text (e.g. with the default top=\vss
 setting) at the begin of the environment.
 
 The following low level example demonstrates this:
 
 \setuppapersize[A6]
 
 \starttext
 
 \dontleavehmode
 \ruledvbox to 3cm{\hsize=4cm text}
 \ruledvbox to 3cm{\hsize=4cm\parskip=2ex\relax text}
 
 \dontleavehmode
 \ruledvbox to 3cm{\hsize=4cm\vss text\vss}
 \ruledvbox to 3cm{\hsize=4cm\parskip=2ex\relax\vss text\vss}
 
 \stoptext

[NTG-context] vertical spacing and makeups

2015-04-18 Thread Pablo Rodriguez
Dear list,

I have the following sample:

\showgrid
\setupinteraction[option=max]
\setuppapersize[S6]
\setuppagenumbering[location=]
\setupbodyfont[100pt]
\setupwhitespace[big]
\startsetups[setups:slides]
\setupwhitespace[big]
\stopsetups
\setupmakeup[pagestate=start]
\definemakeup[slides][setups=setups:slides]
\definemakeup[slide]
\starttext
\startmakeup[slides]\ConTeXt\stopmakeup
\startmakeup[slide]\ConTeXt\stopmakeup
\page\ConTeXt
\startmakeup[slides]program\stopmakeup
\startmakeup[slides]descender\stopmakeup
\startmakeup[slide]program\stopmakeup
\startmakeup[slide]descender\stopmakeup
\page program
\page descender
\stoptext

The first page shows that \setupwhitespace[big] affects to a single line
in a makeup. Shouldn’t white space be added only between paragraphs? The
second page is right vertically centered. And the third page shows that
the white space isn’t added before the first paragraph in a normal page
(no makeup).

This is the first issue, isn’t it a bug? Or what am I missing?

The second issue is about the line height. If I didn’t get it wrong from
Hans some days ago, line height is the x-height, plus ascender and
descender heights.

In vertical centering for makeups, why does ascender or descender height
affect to basline position? Sorry, but this is a problem for
readability. And it think it is better to center the line instead than a
group of glyphs.

Or am I missing something in this second issue too?

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo

 TeX has only a concept for the distance between the baseline of two lines,
 to get a certain line height and depth at the begin and end of your text
 you have to the \strut or \begstrut and \endstrut commands.
 
 \def\startSlide
   {\grabbufferdata[SlideContent][startSlide][stopSlide]}
 
 \def\stopSlide
   {\startmakeup[standard][align=middle]
\begstrut\getbufferdata[SlideContent]\endstrut
\stopmakeup}

I tried to use struts with the first issue and I thought they didn’t
work sith makeups.

Many thanks for your code excerpted above. I would have never thought of
this in a decade.

Many thanks for your highly instructive explanation also,


Pablo
