Hello,

margin=0pt does not work here:

\definedescription[Test][location=hanging, margin=0pt]
\starttext
\startTest{Problem}
  \input tufte
\stopTest
\setupdescriptions[Test][margin=0.0001pt]
\startTest{Workaround}
  \input tufte
\stopTest
\stoptext

When you use “location=hanging” and set the margin to 0pt contexts sets
the margin to 1.5em. I don’t know what do you want to achieve but maybe
“location=serried” is what you want.

Right, location=serried is what I want!
(I had a margin, then to save place I set it to 0 and was surprised...)

Thanks,

Another question: does it make sense, that context overwrites the
margin=0pt?

Imagine, you have some wrapper (simplified user-friendly macro):

\definedescription[SpecialDesc][location=hanging, margin=1em] % 1em = default
\def\SetMargin#1{\setupdescriptions[SpecialDesc][margin=#1]}

Now, because of this (for me unexpected) behaviour, the \SetMargin
becomes more complicated:
if #1 == 0pt then location=serried else margin=#1 endif

IMHO, it would make more sense, if context just accepts the user
supplied margin, and when location=hanging and margin=0, then it prints
a warning message: "Hey, you can get the same with location=serried!" ;)
