I guess that I do not know TeX well-enough to understand why your MWE below gives different line breaks. \starttext \bgroup \raggedright \input tufte \par \egroup \bgroup \raggedright \input tufte \egroup \par \stoptext From a practical point-of-view, what would be the "correct" way of achieving the following (i.e. no paragraph breaks): \setupwhitespace [big] \starttext \input tufte \\ \startframed [frame=off,offset=0pt,before=,after=,width=\textwidth,align=middle] \input ward \stopframed \\ \input dawkins \stoptext Alan ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
