I am experimenting with descriptions and I couldn't find in the documentation the following:
1. What is the default value of width option? It seems that default width uses the longest head + some distance for every head in a descriptions list. Neither width=fit nor width=broad,distance=dimension results in the same.
Some information is given here: http://www.ntg.nl/maps/36/09.pdf Enumerations and descriptions share a lot of settings.
2. In the same document how can I reset to the default options of a defined description list? For example:
\definedescription[defa]
\defa{head} .... % deafult options are used
\setupdescription[defa][width=broad,distance=1cm] \defa{head} .... % above options are used
But still the previously set options are used, they haven't been reset.
There is no way to reset options in ConTeXt. The canonical way to do this is: \definedescription[defa] \definedescription[defb][defa][width=broad, distance=1cm] \startdefa ... \stopdefa \startdefb ... \stopdefb (Untested): This should also work: \startdefa[width=broad, distance=1cm] ... \stopdefa Aditya
