Hi, folks.

I've tried running the example from the "descriptions" article on the wiki and it works fine if I use MkII via "texexec" but fails miserably if I use MlIV via "context." Outside of changing "location" to "alternative" in the \definedescription command parameters, what else do I need to change to make the example run with MkIV? Which example doesn’t work?

Wolfgang

This one: \setupdescriptions[descr][ headstyle=bold,style=normal,align=left,alternative=hanging, width=fit,margin=1cm] \definedescription[descr][ headstyle=bold] \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{Sub Item} This is a description of an item which is within the "Para" item. \stopdescr \startdescr{Sub Item} Another Sub Item \stopdescr \stopdescr \startdescr{Short with long title} A short item that's not part of that really long "Para" item. \stopdescr \stoptext

[snip] The example works for me but it’s bad style to use \setup… before you have created the command with \define…

You can also remove “align=left” because this will make the whole text right aligned, with MkII this isn’t a problem because the setting doesn’t work.

Switching the \define and \setup along with removing the "align=left" fixed it. Thanks! BTW, the code was literally a copy-'n'-paste from the wiki page without any alteration by me. Probably should be fixed. Thanks again!
