This is where we differ. After all, the empty line is the *standard* TeX (and ConTeXt) way to denote new paragraph. While should it be different for displayed items? It's inconsistent.
For what it's worth, I agree with Giuseppe here. It's the same issue I had with block quotes: that even if there's no blank line, ConTeXt assumes new paragraph. -- Dr. Bruce D'Arcus Miami University Geography Department 216 Shideler Hall Oxford, OH 45056
