Re: [NTG-context] Not possible to redefine inbetween in \definedescription

And when using commands with brackets in argumets like:

\definedescription[desc][before=\blank[small]]

ConTeXt will give many errors, so arguments needs to be grouped (before={\blank[small]}). Is this intentional?

Yes, that is a speed optimization. ConTeXt does not even attempt to balance the occurrence of [ and ] at top-level, so the explicit grouping indeed required.

It would be easy to extend ConTeXt to do this, but the speed penalty would be substantial.

Thanks. So every command with brackets needs to be grouped? Maybe something else? Where to look at it? -- Radhelorn
