(this HH> should be not that hard to implement) This latter alternative sounds awfully 'redundant' (too much code for a simple thing); the first sounds somewhat better, but the best solution IMO is to have an option/conditional \obeypars or something like that. When true, empty lines after startstops denote paragraph and lack of empty lines denote "remaining in the same paragraph"; when false, current ConTeXt behaviour is kept. Maybe we may want to have a per-startstop option (obeypars=true,obeypars=false) together/in place of the global \obeypars/\noobeypars (or \obeyparstrue/\obeyparsfalse). Let's say that the best thing (again IMO) is to have a global option, overridable in each startstop: the obeypars key in startstops would then accept the values true (force true), false (force false), default (behave according to the global setting). Does this sound sensible? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
