Hello, Is there a way to nest some descriptions, where the nested descriptions respect the enclosing indentation? Funnily the wiki speaks about the subject (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Description) but doesn't give any solution (btw, the given solution to have several paragraphs in a description looks obsolete since \start \stop works pretty well). Here is an example that I would like to see working: \definedescription[descr][ headstyle=bold,style=normal,align=left,location=hanging, width=broad,margin=1cm] \setupwhitespace[medium] \starttext \startdescr{Para} This is a shorter item label, and some text that talks about it. The text is wrapped into a paragraph, with successive lines indented. This is another paragraph under the "Para" item. \startdescr{SubPara1} This is a shorter item label, and some text that talks about it. The text is wrapped into a paragraph, with successive lines indented. \stopdescr \startdescr{SubPara2} This is a shorter item label, and some text that talks about it. The text is wrapped into a paragraph, with successive lines indented. \stopdescr \stopdescr \stoptext

Try, \definedescription[descr][ headstyle=bold,style=normal,align=left,location=hanging, width=broad,margin=2em, before=\doMySetup] \def\doMySetup{ \setupdescriptions[descr] [before=\startnarrower,after=\stopnarrower]}

you can play with this patch \setvalue{@@description\v!hanging}[#1]#2% {\@@dostartdescription[#1]{\def\\{\crlf}}{#2}% % adds \c!margin to \leftskip \noindent\ignorespaces \advance\leftskip -\leftskipadaption \relax \ifdim\leftskipadaption=\zeropoint \leftskipadaption1.5em % just some default \ifnum\insidedefinition=\plusone \ifdim\leftskip>\zeropoint \relax \leftskipadaption\leftskip \fi \fi \fi \ifnum\insidedefinition>\zerocount \advance\leftskip \leftskipadaption \fi \hskip-\leftskipadaption \ifhbox\@@descriptionbox\unhcopy\else\copy\fi\@@descriptionbox \kern\ifdim\!!widthb=\zeropoint .75em\else\!!widthb\fi \ignorespaces \@@dodescription}

Ok, it works fine, thanks! It also makes the indentation of a hanging description put in an itemize more consistent. BTW, I wonder if it should not be also applied to location=left. Regards, BG

I've added two tests under core-des.tex/, one about basic combination of location and width options, the other about the footnotes. Regards, BG
