Re: [NTG-context] \blank[] doesn't work when nothing precedes it
Hi Sylvain, on my computer (TL2020) I am not able to compile \blank with any command defining the dimension (2\paperheight, 0.25\paperheight, .25\paperheight). I do not know why... But if I use another dimension, eg. 5*big or 20cc, it works with \dontleavehmode: \starttext \dontleavehmode \blank[5*big] %\blank[20cc] foo \stoptext Maybe it will help you.

[NTG-context] \blank[] doesn't work when nothing precedes it
Dear List, I'm trying to put the document title at around .25\paperheight by inserting a \blank: \setuplayout[topspace=0cm, header=0cm, height=\paperheight] \starttext \blank[.25\paperheight] foo \stoptext But the "foo" still appears at the very top. Does anyone know why it behaves like that, or whether there is a more authentic way to put the first word at .25\paperwidth than inserting a tiny invisible space before the \blank? Thanks!
