Hello, It would be nice, to have a minimum width for the description label. I hope, the following example shows well enough, what I'm looking for: \definedescription[Descr][headstyle=bold, location=hanging, width=broad, minwidth=7em, distance=1em] \starttext \startDescr{\hbox to 7em{bla}} % workaround to get minwidth=7em \input tufte \stopDescr \startDescr{\hbox to 7em{bla bla bla\hss}} % workaround to get minwidth=7em \input tufte \stopDescr \startDescr{bla bla bla bla bla bla} \input tufte \stopDescr \stoptext Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
