O yes, silly mistake! Anyway I'm still getting ------------------------------------------------------------- ! Undefined control sequence. system > tex > error on line 1 in file test-indentations.tex: Undefined control sequence ... 1 >> \defineindenting[myindenting][width=5cm] ------------------------------------------------------------- and no indenting at all when used with mkIV which is what I'd like to use (mkII is out of question). 2012/10/26 Sietse Brouwer :

Hello Piotr,

...

I cannot get defineindenting to work. Example attached.

To input example text, use \input knuth not \knuth .

After that change your example works for me, apart from producing something like '. . . :' in the indent space --- I am not familiar with MkII, so I can't tell you whether this behaviour is expected or another bug. I have attached my output.

\defineindenting[myindenting][width=5cm] \starttext

\myindenting \input knuth

\stoptext

Kind regards, Sietse

Right, so is there a replacement for \defineindenting which works in the recent version? 2012/10/26 Marco Patzer :

An MkIV 2011.11.29 23:11 produces the same result as MkII, the wiki however says "Mkii only". It seems that this command was removed or changed in 2012.01.11 10:58. I never used it myself.

Many thanks! The wiki says it is used to "define a collection of indenting settings". I used it to indent more then in the case of other paragraphs the first line of the first paragraph in a chapter, so your solution is unfortunately not exactly what I mean. Best Piotr 2012/10/26 Marco Patzer :

I don't know what \defineindenting is supposed to do. I can hardly believe that the dots in the output are intended. What about this:

\definedelimitedtext [indenting] [leftmargin=4cm, rightmargin=]

\starttext \startindenting \input knuth \stopindenting \stoptext

To indent the first line you can use \setupindenting [yes, 2cm] That, however, is not configurable. And frankly I've never seen varying paragraph indentations in a document. If you really need it you can build a wrapper around this. \def\defineindenting {\dodoubleempty\dodefineindenting} \def\dodefineindenting [#1][#2] {\setvalue{#1}{\setupindenting[yes, #2]}} \defineindenting [first] [2cm] \defineindenting [second] [3cm] \starttext \first \input knuth \second \input knuth \stoptext Marco

The output looks different when you put the text in the document. % engine=pdftex \defineindenting [test] [text=Test] \starttext \test The Earth, as a habitat for animal life, is in old age and has a fatal illness. Several, in fact. It would be happening whether humans had ever evolved or not. But our presence is like the effect of an old|-|age patient who smokes many packs of cigarettes per day |=| and we humans are the cigarettes. \subtest The Earth, as a habitat for animal life, is in old age and has a fatal illness. Several, in fact. It would be happening whether humans had ever evolved or not. But our presence is like the effect of an old|-|age patient who smokes many packs of cigarettes per day |=| and we humans are the cigarettes. \stoptext As you can see from the output it’s a very simple description command with very few options. The dots in the output for your example os the default value for the text key. Wolfgang
