My version is too old I think. It does not support "height=fit"

Thanks,

Re: [NTG-context] Basic TeX question, how to redefine ^^M

Remember that this only works if each paragraph is a single line. See
the output of

\starttext
\catcode`\^^M=\active
\def^^M{\page[yes]}

\input knuth

\stoptext




Oh, it's bad. Maybe I shall define ^^M in a better way, like check the next
character and if it's ^^M too, futurelet the next ^^M to be \page[yes]. I
will think through the logic.

Thanks Aditya.
