Hi,

is there a way to automatically prefix the text body in an enumeration?

Consider this example:
```
\defineenumeration[question][
	alternative=top,
	text=Question,
	title=yes,
	titleleft=,
	titleright=,
	right={:},
	headstyle=bold,
]

\starttext

Some text:

\startquestion[title={How long does a loop last?}]
\bold{Answer:} For a while.
\stopquestion

\stoptext
```

I'd like to have the `\bold{Answer:}` automatically. So for example something like this:
```
\defineenumeration[question][
	alternative=top,
	text=Question,
	title=yes,
	titleleft=,
	titleright=,
	right={:},
	headstyle=bold,
	prefix={\bold{Answer:}},
]

\starttext

Some text:

\startquestion[title={How long does a loop last?}]
For a while.
\stopquestion

\stoptext
```

I tried to misuse `inbetween` for that but `alternative=top` seems to make a (not modifiable space) between the heading and the text body.

Best

Use the \setupparagraphintro command to set the text which should appear 
at the start of the question.

%%%% begin example
\startsetups[question:intro]
   \setupparagraphintro[first][\bold{Answer:} ]
   \blank
\stopsetups

\defineenumeration[question][
	alternative=top,
	text=Question,
	title=yes,
	titleleft=,
	titleright=,
	right={:},
	headstyle=bold,
   inbetween=\setup{question:intro},
]

\starttext

Some text:

\startquestion[title={How long does a loop last?}]
For a while.
\stopquestion

\stoptext
%%%% end example

Thank you. That works well for this case.

I have a follow up question. I tried to additionally set a titledistance and reproduce that for the "Answer:"-part.
ConTeXt then introduces a mysterious newline.

See this example:
```
\definehspace[dist][1em]
\startsetups[question:intro]
   \setupparagraphintro[first][\bold{Answer:}\hspace[1em]]
   \blank
\stopsetups

\defineenumeration[question][
        alternative=top,
        text=Question,
        title=yes,
        titleleft=,
        titledistance=1em,
        titleright=,
        right={:},
        headstyle=bold,
   inbetween=\setup{question:intro},
]

\starttext

Some text:

\startquestion[title={How long does a loop last?}]
For a while.
\stopquestion

\stoptext
```

You need 2 changes for \setupparagraphintro:

1. Change the argument of \hspace to "dist" because the commands accepts 
only keywords and everything else (even a valid length) is ignored and 
results in a horizontal skip of 0pt.

2. You have to add curly braces around the content when the content 
includes square brackets because nesting of optional arguments isn't 
supported yet.

The correct version of the one above is:

\startsetups[question:intro]
    \setupparagraphintro[first][{\bold{Answer:}\hspace[dist]}]
    \blank
\stopsetups

Hrmm, this was a typo.

Thanks for the help, that was the missing part.
