\definedescription[latexdesc][headstyle=bold, style=normal, align=flushleft, alternative=hanging, width=broad, margin=1cm] \starttext \latexdesc{1540} some event happened \latexdesc{1541} some other event happened \latexdesc{1542} some event happened quite different \stoptext I found the above code (the first line) in the ConTeXt Wiki, as a way to create the equivalent of a desc environment from LaTeX. The items inside {} should be bold, then there is a gap before the next text. I am using this to display a simple timeline. Though the formatting looks perfect, very strangely when I compile it, it changes all of the dates to say "1540" (or whatever date was used first). Why is it showing the wrong title on the desc environment? --Joel
