Hello,
I finally found a solution (which doesn't use \description or any other Ctx command) (and which may be clumsy - I'm not so good in tex programming):
----
\def\IndByText#1{%
\newbox\IndByTextBox
\newdimen\IndByTextBoxWd
\setbox\IndByTextBox\hbox{#1}%
\IndByTextBoxWd=\wd\IndByTextBox
\advance\leftskip by\IndByTextBoxWd
\def\Left##1{%
\hskip-\IndByTextBoxWd
\hbox to\IndByTextBoxWd{##1\hfill}%
\ignorespaces
}%
\ignorespaces
\setupindenting[no]%
}
\starttext
\input knuth
\bgroup
\IndByText{\bold{Abcdef~}}
\Left{\bold{Abcdef}}
\input knuth
\bgroup
\IndByText{\bold{Klmnopqr~}}
\Left{\bold{Klmnopqr}}
Something
\Left{\bold{Shorter}}
\input knuth
\egroup
\egroup
\stoptext
----
The only thing I cannot get rid of is a warning in the log:
"
warning > \box \IndByTextBox is already defined (\relax it first)
warning > \dimen \IndByTextBoxWd is already defined (\relax it first)
"
How & where to "relax the box"?
Best regards,
Lukas
