reducing the space after the enumeration heading

reducing the space after the enumeration heading

[Curiouslearn]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 562 bytes --]

Hello All,

I have defined the following enumeration:
\defineenumeration
[Problem]
[location=top,
text=Problem,
between=\blank,
before=\blank,
after=\blank]

Now for one of  the problems, I want the heading "Problem 13" to appear not
on the top, but on the left. So before this particular problem I entered

\setupenumerations[Problem][location=left,stopper=:]
\Problem (From book XYZ)

The issue is that there is a big space between words "Problem 13:" and
"(From book XYZ)". How can I reduce this space so that it is equal to the
standard spacing?

Thank you.

No one wants to help on this? I would appreciate any help. Am I missing
something too obvious?  I tried some other options but they do not help.

Thanks.

Since there is no complete working example I can't test it but you can add 'distance=\spaceamount' to your enumeration setup.

Thanks Wolfgang. Here is a working example. The use of distance reduces the
space if I put a negative number. But is there an option that gives a
regular space as between any two words, or do I have to play with the
negative distance number until I get the right value (which is fine, but
just want to make sure that, that is the best way).

Thanks very much for your help.

% Defining Problem enumeration
\defineenumeration
[Problem]
[location=top,
text=Problem,
between=\blank,
before=\blank,
after=\blank]

% Changing the location of the page numbers so that they appear in the
footer.
\setuppagenumbering[location=footer]

\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupcolor[xwi]

\starttext
\Problem
The problem heading is at the top.

\setupenumerations[Problem][location=left]
\Problem See the space between the heading and the first word.

\setupenumerations[Problem][location=left,distance=-0.15in]
\Problem The addition of distance option reduces the space. Do I have to
play around with this?

\stoptext

add either 'width=broad' or 'width=fit,distance=...' to your setup while in the second
case it's sometimes better to use a font related value like 1ex or 0.5em.

Thanks Wolfgang. 'width=fit,distance=...' option does the trick.
