-\Command{\tex{paragraph}}
-
-In \TEX\ and \CONTEXT\ the most important unit of text is the paragraph. You can
-start a new paragraph by:
-
-\startitemize[packed]
-\item an empty line
-\item the \TEX\ command \type{\par}
-\stopitemize
-
-In your \ASCII\ input file you should use empty lines as paragraph separators.
-This will lead to a readable, clearly structured and well organized file and will
-prevent mistakes.
-
-In situations where a command has to be closed explicitly you should use
-\type{\par}.
-
-\startbuffer
-During one of the wars Hasselt lay under siege. After some
-time the city was famine stricken, everything edible was
-eaten. Except for one cow. The cow was kept alive and
-treated very well. \par
-Once a day the citizens of Hasselt took the cow for a walk
-on the ramparts. The besiegers saw the well fed cow and
-became very discouraged. They broke up their camps and
-Hasselt was saved. \par
-In the Hoogstraat in Hasselt there is a stone tablet with a
-representation of the cow that commemorates the siege and
-the shrewdness of the citizens of Hasselt.
-\stopbuffer

-\typebuffer
-
-This could also be typed without \type{\par}s and a few empty lines.

-
-The vertical spacing between paragraphs can be specified by:
-
-\shortsetup{setupwhitespace}
-
-This document is produced with \type{\setupwhitespace[medium]}.
-
-When inter paragraph spacing is specified there are two commands available that
-are seldom needed:
-
-\starttyping
-\nowhitespace
-\whitespace
-\stoptyping
-
-When a paragraph consists of a horizontal line or a framed text like this:
-
-\startbuffer
-\framed{Ridderstraat 27, 8061GH Hasselt}
-\stopbuffer
-
-\getbuffer
-
-Sometimes spacing is suboptimal. For that purpose you could carry out a
-correction with:
-
-\shortsetup{startlinecorrection}
-
-So if you would type:
-
-\startbuffer
-\startlinecorrection
-\framed{Ridderstraat 27, 8061GH Hasselt}
-\stoplinecorrection
-\stopbuffer
-
-\typebuffer
-
-you will get a better output. Only use these commands if really needed!
-
-\getbuffer
-
-Another command to deal with vertical spacing is:
-
-\shortsetup{blank}
-
-The bracket pair is optional and within the bracket pair you can type the amount
-of spacing. Keywords like \type{small}, \type{medium} and \type{big} are related
-to the fontsize.
-
-\startbuffer
-In official writings Hasselt always has the affix Ov. This is an
-abbrevation for the province of {\em Overijssel}.
-\blank[2*big]
-The funny thing is that there is no other Hasselt in the Netherlands.
-So it is redundant.
-\blank
-The affix is a leftover from the times that the Netherlands and
-Belgium were one country under the reign of King Philip II of Spain.
-\blank[2*big]
-Hasselt in Belgium lies in the province of Limburg. One wonders if
-the Belgian people write Hasselt (Li) on their letters.
-\stopbuffer
-
-\typebuffer
-
-The command \type{\blank} without the bracket pair is the default space.
-
-The example would become:
-
-\getbuffer
-
-The default spacing can be set up with:
-
-\shortsetup{setupblank}
-
-If you want to surpress vertical spacing you can use:
-
-\shortsetup{startpacked}
-
-In this manual the whitespace is set at \type{medium}. In the next situation this
-set up is ignored and the lines are packed.
-
-\startbuffer
-\startpacked
-Hasselt (Ov) lies in Overijssel.
-
-Hasselt (Li) lies in Limburg.
-
-Watch out: we talk about Limburg in Belgium. There is
-also a Dutch Limburg.
-\stoppacked
-\stopbuffer
-
-\typebuffer
-
-This will become:
-
-\getbuffer
-
-It is not hard to imagine why there is also:
-
-\shortsetup{startunpacked}
-
-You can force vertical space with \type{\godown}. The distance is specified
-within the brackets.
-
-\shortsetup{godown}
-
-Try not to use this command. It is always better use the \type{\setup...} commands
-to setup your spacing model.
-
-\stopsection
-
-\startsection[title=Whitespace before and after text components]
-
-Most text components that are coded with \CONTEXT\ have a \type{\setup...} command
-with which you can define the whitespace before and after that component.
-
-\starttyping
-\setupitemize
- [before=,after=]
-
-\setuphead
- [chapter]
- [before=,after=]
-
-\setupframedtexts
- [before=,after=]
-\stoptyping
-
-The use of the \type{\setup...} commands prevents you from having to code
-whitespaces throughout your \TEX\ document. This would lead to unreadable sources
-and inconsistent use of whitepaces.
-
-\stopsection
-
-\startsection[title=Skipping space]
-
-\Command{\tex{hskip}}
-\Command{\tex{vskip}}
-
-You can introduce horizontal and vertical space with \type{\hskip} and
-\type{\vskip} commands.
-
-Try to avoid these commands in your text. It will probably lead to inconsistent
-spacing.
-
-\stopsection
-
-\startsection[title=Indentation]
-
-\index{indentation}
-\index{paragraph+indentation}
-
-\Command{\tex{indenting}}
-\Command{\tex{noindenting}}
-\Command{\tex{setupindenting}}
-
-You can set up the amount of the indentation with:
-
-\shortsetup{setupindenting}
-
-A reasonable indentation is achieved by:
-
-\starttyping
-\setupindenting[yes,]
-\stoptyping
-
-This will lead to indented paragraphs. By default, indentation after white space
-(as issued by \type {\blank}) is suppressed.
-
-You can locally influence the indentation state by using:
-
-\shortsetup{indenting}
-
-When for instance you say \type {never}, from that moment on indentation will be
-surpressed. Saying \type {none}, only influences the next paragraph.
-
-If you choose to use indentations, and at a certain place you explicitly {\em do
-not} want to indent, you can also say:
-
-\starttyping
-\noindenting
-\stoptyping
-
-In some \type{\setup...} commands you can set the parameter \type{indent=yes}. This means
-that the paragraph that follows the textcomponent will indent:
-
-\startbuffer
-\setupitemize[indentnext=yes]
-\stopbuffer
-
-\typebuffer
-
-\stopsection
-
-\stopchapter
-
-\stopcomponent
