Hello Piotr,
I cannot get defineindenting to work. Example attached.
To input example text, use \input knuth not \knuth .
After that change your example works for me, apart from producing something like '. . . :' in the indent space --- I am not familiar with MkII, so I can't tell you whether this behaviour is expected or another bug. I have attached my output.
\defineindenting[myindenting][width=5cm] \starttext
\myindenting \input knuth
\stoptext
The output looks different when you put the text in the document. % engine=pdftex \defineindenting [test] [text=Test] \starttext \test The Earth, as a habitat for animal life, is in old age and has a fatal illness. Several, in fact. It would be happening whether humans had ever evolved or not. But our presence is like the effect of an old|-|age patient who smokes many packs of cigarettes per day |=| and we humans are the cigarettes. \subtest The Earth, as a habitat for animal life, is in old age and has a fatal illness. Several, in fact. It would be happening whether humans had ever evolved or not. But our presence is like the effect of an old|-|age patient who smokes many packs of cigarettes per day |=| and we humans are the cigarettes. \stoptext As you can see from the output it’s a very simple description command with very few options. The dots in the output for your example os the default value for the text key. Wolfgang
