Hello,

I finally found a solution (which doesn't use \description or any other Ctx command) (and which may be clumsy - I'm not so good in tex programming):

---- \def\IndByText#1{%   \newbox\IndByTextBox   \newdimen\IndByTextBoxWd   \setbox\IndByTextBox\hbox{#1}%   \IndByTextBoxWd=\wd\IndByTextBox   \advance\leftskip by\IndByTextBoxWd   \def\Left##1{%     \hskip-\IndByTextBoxWd     \hbox to\IndByTextBoxWd{##1\hfill}%     \ignorespaces   }%   \ignorespaces   \setupindenting[no]% }

\starttext   \input knuth

  \bgroup     \IndByText{\bold{Abcdef~}}     \Left{\bold{Abcdef}}       \input knuth

      \bgroup         \IndByText{\bold{Klmnopqr~}}         \Left{\bold{Klmnopqr}}           Something

        \Left{\bold{Shorter}}           \input knuth       \egroup   \egroup \stoptext ----

The only thing I cannot get rid of is a warning in the log:

" warning         > \box \IndByTextBox is already defined (\relax it first) warning         > \dimen \IndByTextBoxWd is already defined (\relax it first) "

How & where to "relax the box"?

that would eventually make you run out of boxes and dimens just move \newbox\IndByTextBox \newdimen\IndByTextBoxWd outside the macro

Best regards,

Hello,

I'm trying to get nested descriptions (using "tab") to form a "cascade". The result should look like:

AAA ababababababab      ababababababab

     BBB ababababab          ababababab

         CCC ababab              ababab

<--> indent (margin?) of the first nested description in relation to its parent       should equal width of parent's head (+ distance?), i.e. width of "AAA ",

     <--> indent (margin?) of the second nested description in relation to its parent           should equal width of parent's head (+ distance?), i.e. width of "BBB ",

<------> so it should be width of "AAA " + 'width of "BBB " in total.

I'm not able to achieve this. My code so far is (and I also played with various combinations of alternative, margin, hang, indent...):

---- \starttext    A

   \bgroup

\setuptab[headstyle={\bold\tt},sample=123,width=fit,alternative=left]        \starttab{abc}          \input knuth

         \starttab{def}            \input knuth

         \stoptab        \stoptab    \egroup

   \bgroup

\setuptab[headstyle={\bold\tt},sample=123456,width=fit,alternative=hanging]

       \starttab{ghijkl}          \input knuth

         \starttab{mnopqr}            \input knuth

         \stoptab        \stoptab    \egroup \stoptext ----

- Paragraphs of "abc" and "def": size of indentation of the paragraphs is good in relation to width of head, but paragraph "def" is not "cascaded".

- Paragraphs "ghijkl" and "mnopqr" are "cascaded" well; but width of (margin?) is any - it is not related to the width of the sample text.

So how to combine both approaches to get the desired result?

Best regards,

Lukas
