(ConTeXt LMTX 2.11.05) how do I make it so that sections, descriptions, and itemizations have just a space between some of the text that they produce
\setuppapersize[letter][letter] \setupalign[normal] \setuplayout[ backspace=0.5in, topspace=0.0in, header=.5in, % No headers footer=.5in, % Space for the footer width=middle, height=middle, ] \definefontfeature[timesfeatures][default][ trep=yes, % Enables single and double quotes to show up correctly in text, perhaps does more dlig=yes, % cpsp=yes, use for all caps only ] \definefontfamily [myfonts] [rm] [Times New Roman] [features=timesfeatures] % dlig enables times new roman ligatures, and cpsp is used by tnr, not aptos \setupbodyfont[myfonts,12pt] \mainlanguage[en-us] \setupindenting[yes,0.5in] \definedescription[description] \setupdescription[description][ alternative=serried, headstyle=bold, style=normal, width=broad, before=, after=, ] \setupheads[indentnext=yes] % To get indentation after section numbers, use this \setuphead[section][ sectionstopper={.}, % Add period after numbers conversion=R, before=, after=, style=sc, % Small caps style align=middle, % Center the section titles ] \startsetups document:start \centerline{\documentvariable{title}} \centerline{\documentvariable{author}} \centerline{\documentvariable{date}} \blank[line] \stopsetups \startdocument[ title={Chapter 4 Quiz}, author={Author}, date={September 16, 2024} ] \startitemgroup[itemize][n] \startitem I'm not a fan of the default spacing \stopitem \stopitemgroup \startdescription{I'm not a fan of the} default spacing \stopdescription \startsection[title={I'm not a fan of the}] default spacing \stopsection \stopdocument This code shows how I am getting the default spacing between the words from itemize, description, and the spacing between the roman numeral and the section title. I tried figuring out how to get the spacing for all of these to be set to a single space worth but it seems to not be possible with `distance`, because it asks for a dimension. How can I get a `\space`'s worth of spacing to be the default in descriptions, itemizations, and sections? for itemizations and descriptions the spacing seems to vary and I really don't like that. I would be thankful to know if there's a way to change the spacing.

Please remove everything from your examples which isn't necessary to show the problem, in your example you can get rid of - the page layout, - the font settings, - the title page and - all settings from \setupdescription and \setuphead unrelated to the space between number/title and the text. The value you're looking for is \spaceamount which can be used with the distance-key to set the width of a space as separator. For descriptions you have to set the value of the width to fit and use the distance key to set a fixed value for the space between the title and following text, to ensure the space doesn't increase set also the shrink and stretch values to 0. %%%% begin example \definedescription [description] [alternative=serried, width=fit, distance=\spaceamount, stretch=0, shrink=0] \starttext \startdescription [title={I'm not a fan of the}] default spacing \stopdescription \stoptext %%%% end example For itemize you can use the fit keyword but be aware once you have more than 9 entries you get a bigger space between the number and content because the environment set the width of all entries to width of the widest number. %%%% begin example \starttext \startitemize[n,fit][distance=\spaceamount] \startitem I'm not a fan of the default spacing \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext %%%% end example For section titles you just have to change the distance value. %%%% begin example \setuphead [section] [distance=\spaceamount] \starttext \startsection[title={I'm not a fan of the}] default spacing \stopsection \stoptext %%%% end example Wolfgang
