Hello,

what option(s) to use with \definedescription if I'd like to get the following 
shape (attempt to ACSII art):

XXXXXX blablabla
   blablabla bla
   blabla.

| |
|-| A constant of indenting - to be specified by the user.

|              |
|<------------>| Text width.

I inspired by wiki (the code bellow) but shapes I got could be illustrated:

\A:

XXXXXX blablabla
       blablabla
       bla blab-
       la.

|     |
|<--->| Indenting given by the width of the head - unwanted.


\B=\C:

  XXXXXX blablabla
         blablabla
         bla blab-
         la.

  |     |
  |<--->| Indenting given by the width of the head - unwanted.

| |
|-] The "margin" option affects indenting of the whole description - unwanted,
    I want to indent only lines from the 2nd.

I tried some combinations of options - location, width, margin - nothing leads 
to the desired form.

My trials e.g.:

----
\definedescription[A][headstyle=bold,location=hanging,width=fit,]
\definedescription[B][headstyle=bold,location=hanging,width=fit,margin=1cm,]
\definedescription[C][headstyle=bold,location=hanging,width=fit,margin=1cm,command=\hskip-1cm]

\starttext
  \input tufte

  \A{Short} This is a shorter item label, and some text that talks about it.
  The text is wrapped into a paragraph, with successive lines indented.

  \A{Rather longer label} This is a longer item label.  As you can see, the
  text is not started a specified distance in -- unlike with other lists -- but
  is spaced a fixed distance from the end of the label.

  \input tufte

  \B{Short} This is a shorter item label, and some text that talks about it.
  The text is wrapped into a paragraph, with successive lines indented.

  \B{Rather longer label} This is a longer item label.  As you can see, the
  text is not started a specified distance in -- unlike with other lists -- but
  is spaced a fixed distance from the end of the label.

  \input tufte

  \C{Short} This is a shorter item label, and some text that talks about it.
  The text is wrapped into a paragraph, with successive lines indented.

  \C{Rather longer label} This is a longer item label.  As you can see, the
  text is not started a specified distance in -- unlike with other lists -- but
  is spaced a fixed distance from the end of the label.

\stoptext
----

Any idea how to obtain the form described above?

TIA.

Best regards,

Lukas
