Hello,
I have a question regarding hanging indentation in
startstoplines-environment.
So I try to use ConTeXt to typeset poems. In some texts/poems
ar long lines, which have to be broken. They should be broken
into hanging indentations.
That means:
Every line of poem should start left.
If a poemline is longer than text width, the rest of this line
should be indented in a new text line. (just like here)
The width of this indentation should be fixed (e.g. 3em).
The width of this indentation shouldn't depend on a word.
It would be fine, if I don't have to set (poem)linebreaks.
Additionally, it should still be able to indent a verse
(e.g. a chorus), for instance using narrower.
Hyphenation should be switched off inside the poems.
So I found \setuphanging, but these instruction seems made
another job---indenting a paragraph to be placed right beside
the first words of the paragraph.
That's the example, which does not work (all lines are indented)
%<-------------- snip ---------------------------------------
\definestartstop[verse]
[command={\setupwhitespace[1.2em]}% % follow the grid
,before={\setupindenting[-2em,yes]% % trial to construct
\startnarrower[2em]% % hanging indent
\startalignment[flushleft]% % even inter-word-dist.
\startlines% % no justification
\indenting[first]}%
,after={\stoplines%
\stopalignment%
\stopnarrower%
\endgraf}]
\starttext
Three lines, first should be broken:
\startverse
FIRST---this should be one line, please remove linebreaks made by the
mail programms or similiar possibly until HERE.
SECOND---next line without carriage return or line feed,
THIRD---because startstoplines accept linebreaks.
FOURTH---is also one who don't make much words.
\stopverse
\stoptext
%<-------------- snap ---------------------------------------
Any idea how to do that?
Thanks for help
Torsten
