Hello all, and Hans in particular: Some time ago http://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ref.ntg.nl/msg01744.html I had proposed a patch that added the "auto" value to some commmon indentnext options. I would *really* this to be taken into consideration. Rationale: things like formulas, itemgroups and the like (basically, everything that allows indentnext) are "displays". "Displays" are parts of the document that are embedded in a paragraph but are "put in display" by appropriate indenting & other tricks. Now, there are cases in which the paragraph continues after the display, and cases when it doesn't. So for example """ Some text in a paragraph, plus other text, still in the same paragraph and a displayed thing and a continuation of the same paragraph with some more text and other text """ would be different from """ Some text in a paragraph, plus other text, still in the same paragraph and a displayed thing In a separate pragraph, we have some other text """ Note that the two cases should be handled separately: in the first case, I *don't* want any indentation nor any blank line; in the second case, I might want either or both. indentnext=auto would NOT put an indent in cases like this: """ some paragraph \startdisplayedmaterial displayed stuff (formula or itemgroup or anything else) \stopdisplayedmaterial still same paragraph """ but WOULD put an indent here """ some paragraph \startdisplayedmaterial displayed stuff (formula or itemgroup or anything else) \stopdisplayedmaterial Different paragraph """ Hans, can you please consider it for inclusion? The patch is somewhat out of date, given the age, but the principle should be obvious. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
