Layout and Positioning

In order to preserve a constant interlinespace (esp. when using a quite small one, in footnotes or such) it can be sometimes necessary to change the predefined ratio of height/depth:

• \starttext
     \hbox to \hsize \bgroup \showstruts
         \ruledvtop \bgroup \hsize.45\hsize
             \switchtobodyfont[rm,9pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=9.8pt]
             \begstrut \input tufte \endstrut \endgraf
         \egroup
         \hss
         \ruledvtop \bgroup \hsize.45\hsize
             \switchtobodyfont[rm,9pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=9.8pt,height=.79,depth=.21]
             \begstrut \input tufte \endstrut \endgraf
         \egroup
     \egroup
  \stoptext

(The values .79 and .21 in the example are dependent on the actual font used.)
