Hans, as Garulfo mentioned in a previous message (https://mailman.ntg.nl’t /pipermail/ntg-context/2020/098826.html), French may require that all paragraphs are indented (no matter what comes before the paragraph). Spanish also requires that. How about a key for "indentnext" in \setuplanguage? That makes it easier to have documents that require all "indentnext" keys set to "yes". I don’t mean changing the default behaviour for any language. Could the "indentext" option be added to \setuplanguage? Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
