On page 180 of the manual, ConTeXt lists many kinds of descriptions. Like one that indents the body of the definition. It is extremely frustrating to me that it doesn't say how to do it and I can't figure it out.

Any ideas?

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Description gives you a little idea. You can use too the \setupdescription command (cf page 181 in the manual) Hope this helps. -Antoine
