Hello,
Is there a way to nest some descriptions, where the nested descriptions
respect the enclosing indentation?
Funnily the wiki speaks about the subject
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Description) but doesn't give any solution
(btw, the given solution to have several paragraphs in a description looks
obsolete since \start \stop works pretty well).
Here is an example that I would like to see working:
\definedescription[descr][
headstyle=bold,style=normal,align=left,location=hanging,
width=broad,margin=1cm]
\setupwhitespace[medium]
\starttext
\startdescr{Para}
This is a shorter item label, and some text that talks about it.
The text is wrapped into a paragraph, with successive lines indented.
This is another paragraph under the "Para" item.
\startdescr{SubPara1}
This is a shorter item label, and some text that talks about it.
The text is wrapped into a paragraph, with successive lines indented.
\stopdescr
\startdescr{SubPara2}
This is a shorter item label, and some text that talks about it.
The text is wrapped into a paragraph, with successive lines indented.
\stopdescr
\stopdescr
\stoptext

Try,
\definedescription[descr][
headstyle=bold,style=normal,align=left,location=hanging,
width=broad,margin=2em, before=\doMySetup]
\def\doMySetup{
\setupdescriptions[descr]
[before=\startnarrower,after=\stopnarrower]}

you can play with this patch
\setvalue{@@description\v!hanging}[#1]#2%

btw, we need some test files for descriptions in the test-suite

Ok, it works fine, thanks! It also makes the indentation of a hanging
description put in an itemize more consistent.
BTW, I wonder if it should not be also applied to location=left.

I've added two tests under core-des.tex/, one about basic combination of
location and width options, the other about the footnotes.
