Hi Hans, there are some cases in which reverse indenting is important texts. I mean something like: \leftskip2em \parindent-2em Would it be possible to have a reverse option in \setupindenting, whic could be applied with the other options? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Many thanks for your help,
\definestartstop [weird] [before={\startnarrow[left=2em,default=left]\setupindenting[yes,-2em]}, after={\stopnarrow}] \setupindenting[yes,2em] \starttext \input knuth \blank \startweird \input knuth \stopweird \blank \input knuth \stoptext Wolfgang

Many thanks for your fast reply, Wolfgang. I have a book that I want to typeset using ConTeXt, to show its author the results. \leftskip and \parindent work fine for me. The problem is the length. I need the reverse indenting only in the final chapter (it’s a book list, that I would like to avoid to input as a BibTeX bibliography). The book will have a general \setupindenting, but I don’t know whether it will be small, medium or big. And in the last chapter, I want this vaules to be the same, but with a reverse indenting. Here is the sample. \setupindenting[yes,medium] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth\par} I can change indenting value, but I cannot get an inverse indenting. \setupindenting[yes,small] \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth\par} \stoptext I think that \setupindenting[reverse] makes sense as an option. So the user can set inverse indentings for the whole document. And (s)he will have to change the value only once, if applied before as standard indenting.

reverse is a somewhat weird option specific for your case; what if you also want to change other things; better is: \defineindenting[whatever][yes,2cm] %defineindenting[whatever][yes,-2cm] \starttext \setupindenting[yes,-2em] \input ward \par \setupindenting[yes,2em] \input ward \par \setupindenting[whatever] \input ward \par \stoptext so i'll make a \defineindenting ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
