Hi Robert,
All the suggestions you have received are good, but ultimately you might
want to look at the spaces that Unicode provides, for example 202F. Not
sure sure which Unicode space character best suits your needs, but once
you have determined that, you can map it to one of the commands
suggested by others, or even define it to the exact width you want. For
example, I use imacron (U+012B) so much that it clashes with other
characters. So I map it to an alternate version that has a thinner macron:
\defineactivecharacter ī {\fontchar{imacron.alt}}
So what you want is a unicode space character that you can enter in your
editor, then define it in ConTeXt to exactly what you want.
fyi: the list that Wolfgang shows with verbose space names ... these are
in fact unicode characters.

\unexpanded\def\write#1#%
{\ifnum#1=18
\expandafter\syst_write_execute

maybe i should make an api and then nil \pdf*pos)

Use useMPgraphic instead of uniqueMPgraphic.
uniqueMPgraphic recomputes the graphic only when the dimensions of

This behavior was useful for drawing page-backgrounds etc in MkII where
calling metapost was slow.
not only dimensions, also the overlay related colors (and if needed one
can extend the hash used) .. an other advantage (also in mkiv) is that
reuse also makes the pdf file smaller

Is that really an mkiv issue? If I understood well tikz has its own way
of keeping track of positions independent of context.
Normally yes.
But there is TikZ’ “remember picture” mode. You can produce several independent
TikZ pictures on a ConTeXt/LaTeX/plain text page. TikZ tells ConTeXt (or LaTeX
or plain TeX) to give back the coordinates of those pictures on the page after
the page has been typeset. TikZ can then draw interconnections between those
images which are rendered in an extra run.
Tikz uses the pdftex commands \pdfsavepos, \pdflastxpos and \pdflastypos to
save the position
of the graphics on the page. ConTeXt isn’t involved in this process which
provides its own
interface for this mechanism but Tikz doesn’t use it.
In my example the rounded rectangles with the words inside are TikZ images
which are put inline into the ConteXt text by the command
\tikz[baseline] \node[form of node, draw, anchor=text] {text content}
When I use
\tikz[baseline, remember picture] …
instead I activate the mode explained above and the arrows can be drawn
according to the “remembered” coordinates after ConTeXt’s first typesetting run.
According to Wolfgang Schuster in the first reply in this thread when using
ConTeXt mkiv – other than mkii – file the coordinates given back after the
first typesetting run look strange in TikZ’ auxiliary so there seems to be a
mistake somnewhere between ConTeXt and TikZ in this regard.
The problem is the \write command which differs in MkII and MkIV and Tikz
way to prevent the expansion of a command which is written to the auxiliary
file.
The following example demonstrates the difference between MkII and MkIV.
In MkII the \noexpand prevents the expansion of \dummytext when writes
content is written to the external file but in MkIV \write is redefined and this
doesn’t work anymore.
begin example
\newwrite\testwrite
\starttext
\immediate\openout\testwrite=\jobname-dummytext.tmp
\def\dummytext{First sample text.}
\immediate\write\testwrite{\noexpand\dummytext}
\def\dummytext{Second sample text.}
\immediate\write\testwrite{\noexpand\dummytext}
\immediate\closeout\testwrite
\stoptext
end example
this should help:
\unexpanded\def\writeviatex#1#2%
{\ifx\normalwrite\relax\else
% the \detokenize makes sure we don't expand \noexpanded macros
\normalwrite#1{\detokenize{#2}}%
\fi}

You can use \thinspace or \, which is the short form of \thinspace.

in what sense wrong?

Re: [NTG-context] Does a half-space or small space exist in ConTeXt?

Hi Jörg,
I didn’t know, but it seems to be.
Is there a way to let it break a line if needed in certain circumstances
or is there something else like a “non-non-breaking thinspace”?
Well, I would call it a ”breaking thinspace”.
Adding \hskp0pt enables the breaking.
\starttext
\hsize\zeropoint
a\,b
a\,\hskip0pt{}b
\stoptext
I hope it might help,
Pablo

Re: [NTG-context] Does a half-space or small space exist in ConTeXt?
Hi Robert,
All the suggestions you have received are good, but ultimately you might
want to look at the spaces that Unicode provides, for example 202F. Not
sure sure which Unicode space character best suits your needs, but once
you have determined that, you can map it to one of the commands suggested
by others, or even define it to the exact width you want. For example, I
use imacron (U+012B) so much that it clashes with other characters. So I
map it to an alternate version that has a thinner macron:
\defineactivecharacter ī {\fontchar{imacron.alt}}
So what you want is a unicode space character that you can enter in your
editor, then define it in ConTeXt to exactly what you want.
Best wishes
Idris

See the ME:

On the third beat a 6th between bass and tenor, {\em \lohi{B}{g}}, moves

On the third beat a 6th between bass and tenor, {\em \lohi{B}{g}} ,
moves to the octave {\em \lohi{A}{a}} .
\stoptext
Without a space after {\em \lohi{B}{g}}, the normal situation, the comma
is too close to the B, (and the period too close to the A), suggesting
some superscript.
A normal space does not look nice (but if necessary I could live with it)
Is there an intermediate size for a space somehow?
Thanks in advance.
Bets regards,
Robert Blackstone

Re: [NTG-context] Does a half-space or small space exist in ConTeXt?
You can use \thinspace or \, which is the short form of \thinspace.
But \thinspace aka \, is a non-breaking space, isn’t it?
Is there a way to let it break a line if needed in certain circumstances
or is there something else like a “non-non-breaking thinspace”?

Thanks Wolfgang.
“\thinspace” works perfectly for my purpose.
Oddly enough, \, gives no comma and a normal space, \. gives no period and no
space with mkiv, and a superscript period with mkii.
Could these forms for \thinspace perhaps be obsolete?
I have no problem to use \, as a space command but when you use don’t put a
space between the command and the following character.
The \. command is used to create a accented character but it shouldn’t be
needed when you have a keyword which allows you to write the character.
\starttext
a\,b\par
a\thinspace b
\blank[line]
\.{c}
\stoptext
