I find a get a lot of whitespace around my defined descriptions.
does not much help.
Is there something else that can be done. Preferably without resorting to wild guesses like "before=\godown[-10pt]" or the like.
Or is there something else I fail to see.
A sample of the code involved(don't mind the \@@exm.. parameters, they are defined elsewhere, annotationtext is a token register):
\definedescription[annotationblock][margin=no,location=top,width=broad,%
before=,inbetween=,after=\strut,%
headstyle=\@@exmintrostyle,style=\@@exmstyle,%
text=\placeannotationstart]
\def\annotation#1\par{\global\annotationtext={#1}}%
\long\def\startannotation#1\stopannotation{\global\annotationtext={#1}}%
%.......................................................................
% placing the annotation indicator in the annotationblock description
\def\placeannotationstart{% no white above and below rule
\vboxinsideframedtext{%
\setuptextrules[style=\@@exmintrostyle]%
\textrule{\WWord{\Note}}}}
