Hello,
I have some weird problems with descriptions, but let's start at the
beginning. (I have more problems with understanding how they work, but
more about the rest later.)
1.) How do I get some space between "title" and "abc"? (I currently
put the space there manually.) If I set distance=1em, weird things
start happening.
2.) What exactly does "hang=1" do? I have no idea what it does there,
but that was the only way to get the desired result, else everything
gets indented. width=fit makes problems. With width=5cm everything is
OK.
\definedescription
[ma]
[headstyle=bold,
style=italic,
align=left,
location=left,
width=fit,
distance=0pt,
margin=0pt,
hang=1,
indenting=never,
]
\starttext
\input tufte
\startma{title} abc. \input tufte
\stopma
\input tufte
\stoptext
Thanks a lot,
Mojca

Hi Mojca,
I wish too…
At some point some years ago, I used descriptions such as yours and
the only way
I could solve the problem of your "abc" too clsoe to "title" was to
put an empty {}:
\definedescription
[ma]
[headstyle=bold,
style=italic,
align=left,
location=left,
width=fit,
distance=0pt,
margin=0pt,
hang=2,
indenting=never]
\starttext
\input tufte
\startma[Thm]{Conjecture 1}{} abc. \input knuth
\stopma
\input tufte
\blank
As mentioned in \in {}[Thm], we can show that\dots
\stoptext

the "hang" parameter is the number of lines which are hang-indenting
after the beginning of the description;
however "hang=0" means that all the description is hang-indenting.
Best regards: OK

width=broad
See my second example (thanks to your example I was able to solve the
first).
