Hi,
I was in the process to convert an itemize part to a description and wanted to simplify the code in the same move. I discovered headcommand for that, but struggled to set the text in an highlight _and_ make a colon at the end. Not sure what exactly you want, but how about:
\definehighlight[hl][style={\m{>}\,\switchtobodyfont[tt]}] % This is the wrong way to define such a command as '>' is not part of the style. I have left this definition just for comparison with the soln below. Is there a better way to define a highlight that sets a style (color, font) _and_ a prefix (symbol)? Another way, I know of, would be just a plain def, something like \def{\hl}{\groupedcommand{>\,\switchtobodyfont[tt]}{}}, but actually I want to define a highlight (just with an additional prefix).
1. ConTeXt already uses \hl as name for a existing command. 2. Use \definestartstop: \definestartstop [gerion] [style=mono,left={›\thinspace}] \starttext text \gerion{text} \stoptext
\definedescription[category][ alternative=top, headstyle=bold, width=broad, ]
\definedescription[desc][ width=fit, distance={\widthofstring{~}},
