Need of a new global option for indenting?
Hi, Sorry to bother you with this question again, but I didn't get any definitive answer in the previous discussion: wouldn't it be useful to have a new option in \setupindenting that indents EVERY paragraph? I mean even after floats, formulae, heads, etc. It would be easier than to set every 'indentnext' option to 'yes'. My first thought was that it should be the role of the 'always' option. Is it silly? Best regards, Morgan

This is a french typographical tradition thing, isn't it?

In fact there is a common entry point for indentnext already, and redefining that woudl do what you want, I believe: \def\checknextindentation[#1]% original {\processaction [#1] [yes=>\doindentation, no=>\noindentation, auto=>\autoindentation]} \def\checknextindentation[#1]{\doindentation} % redefined Hooking into \setupindenting may not be the best idea, because of backward compatibility. If Hans not feel like adding an extra inferface, my next proposal would be to add this redefined command to the t-french module on the garden http://modules.contextgarden.net/t-french Best wishes, Taco

Not, it's not only French. I already had (German) customers who demanded every paragraph to be indented. That doesn't mean that it makes sense, but one should be able to activate that behaviour rather easily. Greetlings from Lake Constance!

Yes, indeed. But it might be useful to non french people too, I think.

Thank you for this trick!

I understand the problem of backward compatibility, and in this regard, it seems difficult to modify the 'always' option. But what about adding a completely new option? As this might be helpful to non french people too, modifying the t-french module only would be a pity (according to me, of course).
Best wishes, Taco
