Hi Louis, II guess what you need is the keyword alternative=top in the setup of your descritiption. Best regards: OK

\startcmddescription{mycommand}

This is a very useful command. It knows just what to do, and you don't even have to specify any options!

\stopcmddescription [end sample]

the text "This is a very useful command" begins on the same line as the "mycommand" header. I want the text to begin on the next line, so that "mycommand" is on a line of its own. How should I adjust the \definedescription command to achieve this? I've tried all kinds of things with the 'before', 'inbetween', 'after', 'indentnext', 'command', and 'headcommand' options of the \definedescription command (based on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupdescriptions http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupdescriptions), using \par, \crlf, and \vspace, but didn't get the desired results.
