That was it. Strange, I had to put this after « \starttext » to get it run.

I'm totally right with you. I tried to did this because it's the way I
find it on the paper book. But it's quite hugly and strange.
Your trick is the good one.

Sadly S. Beckett books are still under copyright, but I can promis
that the result is quite perfect.

Cheers,
Olivier.

It works great ! Thank's. Sad that we have to use a « force » command.

It works too \o/.
Sad again. Why, when I say « always » I can't have this feature ?

Again, it was the trick (and I should have found this one by myself…).
It works too with « tolerant ».

Thank's a lot,
Olivier.

That's because of the penalty for pages ending with a hyphen. At the
page size of an ebook, you are better off with

   \brokenpenalty \zerocount

In other words, you are lying. :-)

   \def\fakepar{\begingroup\parskip0pt\par\dogotopar{\indent\endgroup}}

and then

Dans l’arrière pays.\fakepar

Une horloge ...

does what you want, but it doesn't deserve a price for elegance either.

Best wishes,
Taco

Hello,

I tried to set-up one of my favorite book to be read on this.
Here are the specials part :
— Page size : 120mm x 90 mm
— margins : 3mm up/down and 2mm left/right (could be 1mm, in fact)

Here are the links to the .tex and .pdf files.

Here are my problems :
— I can't set the space before my section number : in
line 38 : \setuphead[section][style=tfc, numberstyle=bold,
before={\blank[3*big]}, alternative=middle]
everithing work but the « before » section


Try using before={\blank[force,3*big]}.


— still can't have automatic indent after section. I need to force it
using « \indentation » (line 47)


Use

\setupindentation[big,yes]

and

\setuphead[section][indentnext=yes]


— look at the end of the first page : there's a big gap. Don't know
why. It's in the middle of a sentence, and the paragraph is big after.


Sorry, I don't have Gentium and I do not get the same problem with latin 
modern.



— at the end of the second page, third line before the end, the « dans

Try \setuptolerance[verytolerant, stretch]


— on page 3, before « Une horloge » I can't have indentation after
\crlf. I used a « \packed » command after empty line but it's not what
I want. I want a new line, with indentation but not a « \par »
vertical spacing.


I don't know how to get this. You can use \vskip -2em (play around with 
the length) but there should be a "proper" way.

[NTG-context] Indenting / small paper size / strange paragraph cutting

Hello,

Sorry for this 3 pages exemple. It was hard to do less (but now you
have the begining of the french translation of « Stirrings Still »
from Samuel Beckett).

PS : the new firmware for the sony PRS 505 allow to use .epub files.
It's a realy good news : this is an open-source format ! A chance for
us to avoid the mp3 mess. I hope context can be used to produce them
one time.
