I worked out a solution - not quite what you are suggesting, but it works perfectly, and I can get ahead with the dictionary.
1st, I defined a paragraph based on subsubject. This enabled me to do away with the description I was using earlier and greatly simplifies each dictionary entry:
\definehead[entry][subsubject] \setuphead [entry] [ number=no, textdistance=3pt, alternative=text, align=raggedright, style=\bf, before={\vskip 0.5\lineheight} ]
2nd, note the before={\vskip 0.5\lineheight}. A bit of a hack one has to admit, but it solves the problem of reducing the gap between each entry.
Instead of using \vskip try to use blank because that also handles whitespace and unwanted breaks. \starttext \showmakeup[line,glue] \strut test \blank[line] \strut test \blank[line] \blank[back,halfline] \strut test \blank[back,halfline] \strut test \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
