Subject: Hanging definition
Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2007 19:18:26 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200703291918.26459.john@wexfordpress.com> (raw)

I want to create a definition that is set up similar to an itemize, or 
more particularly like page 180 in the Context Manual, third example 
from the top of the page. Here is what I have:
------------------------------------------------------
 \definedescription[Stars]
[width=broad,location=hanging,hang=broad,sample={***}]

\Stars{*} Rounded to nearest \$100

\Stars{**} Provided by RBC Asset Management Inc. Actual fund return 
plus an additional 4.0\% annually

\Stars{***} Back-tested return reduced by 4.0\% annually\par} 
---------------------------------------------------------
... but each item is packed to the left and not blocked like an \item 
in a list. I want something like
*     foofoo
**   foofoo
*** foofoo.....
      foobar

...but I get
* foofoo
** foofoo
*** foofoo
foobar
