Hello,

I'm going to bring the discussion back to a sore point that really
needs to be cleared.

When dealing with displayed material (equations, itemizations,
quotations etc) the following four cases are (or rather should be)
different:

==============================

Case 1:

some text before
\startdisplay
  displayed material
\stopdisplay
some text after

==============================

Case 2:

some text before

\startdisplay
  displayed material
\stopdisplay
some text after

==============================

Case 3:

some text before
\startdisplay
  displayed material
\stopdisplay

some text after

==============================

Case 4:

some text before

\startdisplay
  displayed material
\stopdisplay

some text after

==============================

The reason why they should be different is that

(1) in case 1 the display is part of the paragraph which includes
both the text before, the displayed material, and the text after

(2) in case 2 the display is part of a the paragraph which begins
with the displayed material and includes the text after, but not
the text before

(3) in case 3 the display is part of a the paragraph which begins
with the displayed material and includes the text before, but not
the text after

(4) in case 4 the display forms a paragraph on its own

Why is this important? Assume for example that the paragraphs are
set to have an indent (\setupindenting[medium], for example) and
that the indentnext option is set to true. In this case "some text
after" would only be indented in cases (3) and (4), but not in
cases (1) and (2), since in cases (3) and (4) it starts a new
paragraph while in cases (1) and (2) it is part of the previous
paragraph.

Is it just an impression of mine, or is it true that this is not
the case in ConTeXt? The behaviour in all three cases seems to be
the same ...
