thanks to all for pointing to the reason, to the collapsing command and to pablo for pointing to the hbox-trick. I will use the \emdash to ensure a right dash ___ If your question is of interest to others as well,

[NTG-context] incosistent output of --- dash

Hi everyone, I'm a bit puzzled because I usually don't get an em-dash when I type tree hyphens. If I use the command \emdash, no problem but when I use the hyphens some days it works... and somedays I see three small hyphens. I tried it on overleaf and of ContextOnWeb with the same

Thanks, Pablo and Henning I suppose I am making a mistake with my setupinterlinearspace. My school asks for Times New Roman (I use termes) 12pt and onehalfspacing. In latex I used linespread{1.3} and so I supposed setting ConTeXt with setupinterlinearspace[1.3ex] was the right way (I read
