[NTG-context] Specifying leading?
How does one specify leading in ConTeXt? In traditional typography, it is common to specify the type size and leading to indicate the inter-line spacing of a block of text. Setting type "solid" means to use no spacing between lines - not usually a good idea ;-) More often, good typography requires a minimum of two points of leading between adjacent lines and might be specified as 12/14 or 12/15 meaning to set twelve-point type on a fourteen or fifteen point "leading" resulting in inter-line spacing of two and three points respectively. Is there an easy way to specify this in ConTeXt or must I muck about with baseline skip? I have tried looking this up on the wiki and in the font documentation but it either is not there or is worded in such a way I am not recognizing it.

You can expand the value
\normalexpanded{\setupbackgrounds[…][…,backgroundcolor=\currentmoduleparameter{color}]}
or you can use \moduleparameter
\setupbackgrounds[…][…,backgroundcolor=\moduleparameter{bgcolor}{color}]

1. You have to place the module in the correct sub folder.
2. Add your module on the modules page on the wiki.
3. Ask Mojca to add it to the context suite.

I take that back, sorry for the noise. The better solution
appears to be adding the “leadingcomment” pattern to the rule
that handles balanced braces:

The exam module uses a command which was removed from MkIV because there are better ways for module authors. When you don’t need any special MkIV feature you can use MkII for your document.
