Subject: Descriptions ... I wish I understood them
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2008 20:45:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6faad9f00809241145x27453f17uc2d87461c3ae2c4b@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

I have some weird problems with descriptions, but let's start at the
beginning. (I have more problems with understanding how they work, but
more about the rest later.)

1.) How do I get some space between "title" and "abc"? (I currently
put the space there manually.) If I set distance=1em, weird things
start happening.

2.) What exactly does "hang=1" do? I have no idea what it does there,
but that was the only way to get the desired result, else everything
gets indented. width=fit makes problems. With width=5cm everything is
OK.

\definedescription
	[ma]
	[headstyle=bold,
	 style=italic,
	 align=left,
	 location=left,
	 width=fit,
	 distance=0pt,
	 margin=0pt,
	 hang=1,
	 indenting=never,
	]
\starttext

\input tufte

\startma{title} abc. \input tufte
\stopma

\input tufte

\stoptext

Thanks a lot,
    Mojca
