\indent inserts indentation the size of \parindent, which is exactly zero points in this case. Cheers, Taco
OK, But this gives the same result.

Taco, Peter, I guess I am not making myself clear. I do not want to do this: \setupformulas[indentnext=auto] or this: \setupformulas[indentnext=yes] Because that has the effect that paragraphs following formulae are always indented.

Not sure if this is the best way, but \indentation at the beginning of the paragraph will force the indent. Using your example: \placeformula[-] \startformula 4(4\sqrt3) =16\sqrt3. \stopformula \indentation By induction, we can argue that that the associative and commutative properties will allows us to group and arrange the product of more than three numbers in any order that we please. -joshua

[someone else beat me to the punch.] (\indentation instead of \indent) That's not the most obvious choice of command name, but it works, eh?. To protect yourself, you could add more "logical" markup and say something like this in your environment: \let\NewPar\indentation and then mark all paragraphs to be indented with that \NewPar. adam

Although it doesn't really apply to you, because of the spaced-out nature of your source files, this will help someone out. If you have indentnext=auto set for formulae (or verbatim or itemize), then you have no indent if there's no blank line between the formula and the text. If there is a blank line, then there's a normal indent. In the example, watch what happens after the two \stopformula s: \setupindenting[medium,yes] \setupformulas[indentnext=auto] \starttext \input ward You will find that \startformula 2+2=5 \stopformula % no blank line for very large values of two. \input dawkins However, traditionalists maintain that \startformula 2+2=4 \stopformula % extra blank line Moving on, we find... \input tufte \stoptext (pardon the extra test text. The bits that I wrote didn't make the example clear enough when typeset.)
... and not have the next paragraph after the formula. That is the default. That is what I want. However, on occasion, "sometimes" I do want to indent the next paragraph after a formula. My question is, how to override the default behavior "on occasion." That is, every "rare once in a while," how do I indent a paragraph after a formula.
