[NTG-context] Works and Doesn't Work
Here is my small sample ConTeXt sample: I want to be able to control the blank
gap between the end of an item and the next item. It has to be fine tuned at
times. Any advice would be appreciated.
NOTE: Two cases with inbetween attempting use use two variations of the \blank
command which
causes 'context' run to hang. The comment escape on them has to be
removed to test them.
The rightmost column contains result comments.
Note that inbetween=\blank[.5mm] and \blank[small] cause context to hang .
But, underbar'd command with a text string works as advertised.

That's what the ConTeXt Reference Manual also says, but that doesn't
seem to match what ConTeXt does. The 'x' ratio is 0.835 and the 'xx'
ratio is 0.6667. The 'm' ratio is 0.802 and the 'n' ratio is 0.601,
which is "close enough".
