So for quotations and adjust the space around them are you suggesting manual adjustment? I was already more convinced of keeping snap-to-grid turned off. Now the problem is how to adjust the spaces around quotations (and floats) at the minimum cost. Since the line heights of the main text and the ones of quotations do not change, the adjustment depends only on the number of lines of quotations. I could compile a table for more common cases: # of lines | adjustment 1 line | ... pt 2 lines | ... pt 3 lines | ... pt ... 20 lines | ... pt I should teach users how to insert adjustments, but the task would be eased because they should only copy a value from a table or insert a name that corresponds the the number of lines (i.e. "adjust-3-lines", "adjust-4-lines", etc.) Greetings, Massi ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
