shall presume on your patience by restating my query.
In (English) typography the spacing after a period within a sentence
is less that that after a period
, but wonder
what happens there.) The downside is that there is a good number of
documents that will require have to be encoded accordingly.
Cheers, Alan

Thanks, Peter. I was wondering about MKIV. (Switching is on my summer
“to do” list.)

I apologize to all, but circumstances oblige me to pick up a very
pedestrian thread for the third time.
As Peter Münster noted: in the following test-file
\starttext
x. x, x x\crlf
x, x. x x\crlf
x,\ x.\ x\ x\crlf
x.\ x,\ x\ x\crlf
X. X, X X\crlf
X, X. X X\crlf
X,\ X.\ X\ X\crlf
X.\ X,\ X\ X
\s
TeX to get it converted to Word and get it in on
time. The very memory is traumatic.

As Peter Münster noted: in the following
any effect in the output (under MKII).
The space after a period looks the same as the space after “.\ ”,
though it should be bigger.

That’s got it, Hans! I have replaced all my old “.\ ” with “.|~|”. My
pages look much better now. Many thanks indeed.
All best, Alan

I updated to the latest ConTeXt but now get the following error
message when I process my files (using TeXShop as the front end, and
TeXLive 2007):

ConTeXt 2008-08-04 2 works. All later versions do not because of the
mismatch in base files.

Hi Alan,

I have installed the Context Minimals following the newbie
instructions on the wiki at contextgarden for Mac users.
The instructions themselves are clear but should perhaps be updated:
• the file originally downloaded is first-setup.sh not first-setup.tsh

I have set two paragraphs side by side using
\defineparagraphs[TwoColumns]
[n=2,tolerance=verytolerant,before={\blank},after={\blank}]
\setupparagraphs[TwoColumns][distance=1pc]
One of the columns is the length of the page. How do I prevent the two
columns from starting a new page? Right now t

\stoptext
You will see that the columns “play nice” with text that follows, but
not with text that precedes.
