Hans, thanks for the example. (I might have guessed Tchaikovsky might have

It's Adrian .. the SciFi writer. Now reading Shroud. The quote fits into
what the 'mp experiments team' was doing (some new stuff) a few weeks ago.
I think the wiki page for \blank would be more helpful if there was some
pseudo-code description of what \blank actually does, especially in the
case where \blank[] is before and/or after other vertical space or other
\blank[] commands. I have a glimpse of (part of) what is happening, but I
know it is incomplete.
As with more commands, like \framed, one just has to play with it in
small examples.
I recognize it is easy for me to suggest that "someone" should improve the
wiki page. I would volunteer to do this if I actually understood what was
going on, but at this point I'm not near that level of understanding.
Patience ... editing wiki pages I leave to others.
Incidentally, even having updated my ConTeXt distro today, I get different
results when I copy and paste the large example into a file and run ConTeXt
on that file. (Once again I wonder whether this is somehow a "me" thing, or
whether the wiki uses an older version of ConTeXt, or something else yet.)
Depends .. for that we need an example, what is different, and
preferably confirmation by someone else,
Hans
