Perfect. Thank you, Wolfgang. Is there a way I could have discovered this answer without bothering folks on the list? -kk

How can I keep the space between the heading text and the paragraph from stretching/shrinking in a description?

MWE that exhibits variable space between the heading (the defined word) and the paragraph text:

\definedescription [definition] [headstyle=italic, indenting=1em, alternative=hanging, margin=2em, distance=1.5em,

stretch=0, shrink=0,

...

width=fit,]

You can always try the list archive, e.g. the same problems was asked last year.

I had tried searching the archive using a few variations of "heading paragraph description” but was unsuccessful in finding the previous answer. I’m still new to ConTeXt so hopefully I will get better at figuring out what the key terms should be when searching. Thanks again. -kk

I did…after a fashion. Once I knew the answer, I was able to find a reference to it on the wiki. However, it was obscured because both \setupdescription and \setupdescriptions are listed and I was reading the entry for \setupdescriptions which doesn’t list stretch and shrink as parameters. I added a note to \setupdescriptions that references \setupdescription. Hopefully that will help. -kk
