Hello,

I have some weird problems with descriptions, but let's start at the beginning. (I have more problems with understanding how they work, but more about the rest later.)

1.) How do I get some space between "title" and "abc"? (I currently put the space there manually.) If I set distance=1em, weird things start happening.

Hi Mojca, I wish too… At some point some years ago, I used descriptions such as yours and the only way I could solve the problem of your "abc" too clsoe to "title" was to put an empty {}: \definedescription [ma] [headstyle=bold, style=italic, align=left, location=left, width=fit, distance=0pt, margin=0pt, hang=2, indenting=never] \starttext \input tufte \startma[Thm]{Conjecture 1}{} abc. \input knuth \stopma \input tufte \blank As mentioned in \in {}[Thm], we can show that\dots \stoptext

2.) What exactly does "hang=1" do? I have no idea what it does there, but that was the only way to get the desired result, else everything gets indented. width=fit makes problems. With width=5cm everything is OK.

the "hang" parameter is the number of lines which are hang-indenting after the beginning of the description; however "hang=0" means that all the description is hang-indenting. Best regards: OK

\definedescription [ma] [headstyle=bold, style=italic, align=left, location=left, width=fit, distance=0pt, margin=0pt, hang=1, indenting=never, ] \starttext

\input tufte

\startma{title} abc. \input tufte \stopma

\input tufte

\stoptext

Thanks a lot, Mojca ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki!
