Well, isn't \hiderel (as you describe it) a sample fused to calculate something (e.g. width) to be used later? > OK, but style= doesn't make much sense then.

Context list macros just use left- and rightskip, which is why startsmaller and itemize etc all work together. The \setlocalhsize gives you the \localhsize you want, and then \leftskip is your margin. > Hans> (21) .. incorrectly set .. this was rather on purpose -) > Hans> Just beter avarage spacing with the normal correction macros > Hans> but maybe the ams alternative shortskip macros take care of > Hans> this. > > That's the idea. Ok, then I simply wait and cross my fingers.
