Betreff: Re: [NTG-context] descriptions -- symbol between head and text

Hi,

is there a way to get some text between the head and the text of a description. Enumerations have stoppers, but I couldn't find an equivalent setting for descriptions:

\definedescription
  [deflist]
  [alternative=hanging,
   width=fit,
   headcommand=\groupedcommand{[BEFORE] }{ [AFTER]}]

\starttext

\startdeflist{Knuth}
\input knuth
\stopdeflist

\stoptext

Wolfgang
