(1) What is the difference between \definedescription and \setupdescriptions?
(not an expert, just read command reference) the first should define new "description", the second change style of already defined "description".
Ah, so \setupdescriptions inherits the default values of \definedescription?
I suppose no, '\define...', eh-m, defines a command while '\setup...', eh-m, sets up its 'style'. When one defines a command one could set its custom 'style' instead of default.
Consider the following example: <example file="ex1.tex"> \starttext
\definedescription[definition]
Why is this above command necessary? Why can one not simply begin with the next one, \definition{Hi}?
\definition{Hi} This is first definition.
May be because this is an example? I would say that ConTeX User Manual shows different commands from context itself and how one could define custom commands. The '\definition' is one them.
???
I don't know but reading manuals (context and latex ones), wiki and etc somehow convince me that 'head' relates with section heading (styling), for the rest there are '\setup...' commands and 'headstyle' key (not always, of course), may be that's why I always consult reference on wiki and sometimes source code.
It's kind of inconsistent that it isn't using a \setuphead, but I suppose it doesn't matter now as I got the desired effect =) Thanks Vladimir =) -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com
