Hi Taco, Ok your hack works for small files but in my larger work this is causing TeX's capacity to overload (indeed, I don't think I've run into this particular overload message before; does the `255' signify some ceiling here?): ======================================================= ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [grouping levels=255]. \normalinmargin #1->{ \parindent 0pt \normalinmargin {#1}} \normalinmargin ...indent 0pt \normalinmargin {#1} } \normalinmargin ...indent 0pt \normalinmargin {#1} } \normalinmargin ...indent 0pt \normalinmargin {#1} } \normalinmargin ...indent 0pt \normalinmargin {#1} } \normalinmargin ...indent 0pt \normalinmargin {#1} } ... ===================================================== Although if I implement this manually it does not overload TeX: =================================================== \setupoutput[pdftex]% \setupindenting[medium] %\let\normalinmargin\inmargin %\def\inmargin#1{{\parindent0pt \normalinmargin{#1}}} \starttext \input knuth {\parindent0pt\inmargin{This is a test.}} \stoptext =================================================== Something about that pseudo-recursive definition I suppose? It may take a while for me to narrow this new problem down to a small file, but I can privately send you the larger files if you care to look at this. Thnx 4 all your help. Best Idris

It's definately a \parindent, but I cannot figure whence it came. Anyway, if you need an immediate fix, the following hack works:
