[NTG-context] Placing a box with left-aligned lines on the right border
Hello,
how to more easily achieve this?:
Some text on line Text in box
Longer text in the box
Shorter text in box
|--|
Width of the box is
that of the longest
text in it
||
Some space between the preceeding
text and the box
|--|
Text width available (\textwidth)
The solution should have the following features:
- Text in the box to be written at once with a token (be \\ or \par or
another) to go to the next line;
- The box (wrapping Text in box, Longer text in the box, Shorter text in
box) should have no width specified -
it should get it from the longest member (line) in it (in our case: width of
Longer text in the box);
- Text in the box should be alignleft;
- Base line of first text the box to be vertically aligned to the base of the
preceding text, i.e.
Some text on line to have the same basement as Text in box;
- A horizontal filler may be placed between Some text on line and the box to fit
text width available.
Two ways that don't go to the goal, just to demonstrate my trials and fails:
\starttext
% 1
Some text on line\hfill Text in box\par
\hfill Longer text in the box\par
\hfill Shorter text in box\par
% 2
Some text on line\hfill\framed[width=5cm,align=flushleft,frame=off]
{Text in box\\
Longer text in the box\\
Shorter text in box}
\stoptext
Way 1 - problems:
- The text to be boxed is not written in a box environment;
- the text to be boxed is not left-aligned in the box (as it actually is not in
a box).
Way 2 - problems:
- The text in the box (\framed) must have width specified;
- the text in the box goes over the line where it is placed, not with first
line basement aligned.
So - how to achieve the layout desired?
(Hint:
The situation may be imagined as the top of a letter page:
write some text to the left, fill with the maximum space till you reach the box
for an address on the right of the current line;
write address lines left-aligned inside the box.)
Thank you for ideas in advance.
Best regards,
Lukas

\startframed[width=fit,align=flushleft,frame=off,location=top]

Shorter text in box

Method 2 (layer based):
\definelayer[letterhead][width=\textwidth]
\setupbackgrounds[text][background=letterhead]
\starttext
\setlayerframed
[letterhead]
[preset=lefttop]
[offset=0pt,frame=off]
{Some text on line}
\setlayerframed
[letterhead]
[preset=righttop]
[offset=0pt,width=fit,align=flushleft,frame=off,location=top]
{Text in box\\
Longer text in the box\\
Shorter text in box}
\blank[force,4*line]
