Hello,

In my experimentation, I've found that in mkii and mkiv the behavior of \textrule and \setuptextrule are different...

What I did was quite simple:

\textrule{Testing head} blah blah blah \textrule

in mkii the text in well centered between the lines. But in mkiv the bottom line is too near the text, and I need to add something like \blank[halfline] to have a similar behavior as mkii.

There is a vertical skip missing in the MkIV version of the macros.

pack-mrl.mkiv

\def\pack_textrule_following#1% {\doifelsenothing{#1} - {\nointerlineskip + {\vskip\dimexpr\strutdp+.5ex\ifdim\prevdepth>\strutdp\else\ifdim\prevdepth>\zeropoint-\prevdepth\fi\fi\relax + \nointerlineskip \dontleavehmode\vbox {\color[\directtextrulesparameter\c!rulecolor] {\hrule\s!depth\directtextrulesparameter\c!rulethickness\s!height\zeropoint\s!width\availablehsize}}} {\pack_textrule_with_text{#1}}% \ifvmode \prevdepth\zeropoint \fi}

I've tried to patch pack-mrl.mkiv and I still get the error of spacing before the second \textrule. My version of context is mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.60 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /Users/ptitvert/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2012.09.11 20:36

...

And apparently the command \starttextrule ... \stoptextrule doesn't work (this was explain in the cont-entp.pdf page 204) in either mkii & mliv.

This does work for me:

\starttext

blah blah blah

\starttextrule{Testing head} blah blah blah \stoptextrule

blah blah blah

\stoptext

But \starttext blah blah blah \starttextrule[top]{Testing head} blah blah blah \stoptextrule blah blah blah \stoptext doesn't, and this possibility is explain in the doc, but apparently it doesn't work. So either the doc is wrong, the command is wrong or I'm doing something wrong :-D Sincerely yours, Alessandro

have you regenerated the format ?

Well no.... I didn't know!!! and after searching how to do it, I found and yes it works :-) Thanks!! Sincerely yours, Alessandro

Remove "[top]" from \starttextrule. All possible combinations are:

Hello Wolfgang, Thanks, now I understand how this command works. So probably it would be good to correct the documentation accordingly ( even if all coders hate that part :-D ) Or maybe update the wiki... Is anybody able to modify the wiki? if yes then I would be more than happy to do it. Sincerely yours, Alessandro

actually that's the commented code ... \pack_textrule_correct_depth ... i'm still not that convinced if that correction always looks right (i've reenabled it but it might become an option)
