\definedescription and setupdescription options

\definedescription and setupdescription options

[Jan U. Hasecke]

Hi all,

I am working on a small documentation and today I tried all the options
in \definedescription and/or \setupdescriptions to understand what is
going on.

I have no idea what these options are doing:

closecommand
titleleft
titleright
titledistance
titlestyle
titlecolor
headcommand
hang
inbetween
command

I could not see any result and found no hint in the documentation.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thank in advance
juh

See: http://www.ntg.nl/maps/36/09.pdf which explains some of these.

Works only with “alternative=left” or “alternative=right”.

Works only with “alternative=top”.

This is no valid key for descriptions.

Take a look at the attached files for the valid keys for the description 
and enumeration environments.

Did you make the pdf with \showsetup{...}?

I am missing setupdescriptions.

And I get "MISSING SETUP" when I try \showsetup{setupdescription}.

My context installation is: current version: 2016.02.24 11:19

Shall I update to have the newest interface descriptions available?

\setupdescriptions is a synonym for the \setupdescription command.

No, because I used a local version of the interface file where I added
missing entries but it isn’t finished yet.

I am not managing use of lists of enumerations.

\defineenumeration
  [fact]
  [list=fact]

\starttext

\startfact [title=First fact]
Many commands in \CONTEXT\ are obvious.
\stopfact

\placelist [enumeration:fact] [criterium=all]

\stoptext

does not produce a list.
