Hello,
I can't get the 'align' parameter to have any effect on label text
in definitions. Here is a simple test case:
\setuplayout[backspace=40mm]
\definedescription
[test]
[location=inleft,
width=25mm,
align=left,
margin=standard]
\starttext
\test{Hello} World! \par
\test{Misaligned} Labels
\stoptext
Changing the value of 'align' to 'middle' or 'right' does nothing.
I'm using ConTeXt ver: 2009.04.28 08:46 MKIV fmt: 2009.5.9 int:
english/english, and LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.0-2009042219
luatex.web >= v2344
Confirmed on 2009.05.14 16:44 if a new line is inserted just before
\stoptext:
---
\setuplayout[backspace=40mm]
\definedescription
[test]
[location=inleft,
width=25mm,
align=left,
margin=standard]
\starttext
\test{Hello} World! \par
\test{Misaligned} Labels
\stoptext
descriptions (and a few more commands) expect a \par (or empty line)
best use
\starttest{Hello} World! \stoptest
\starttest{Misaligned} Labels \stoptest
In that case, perhaps there's a simper way to achieve my aim: I'm
doing dialogue, and want to have the speakers' names right-aligned
(ie. ragged left) in the margin. Is there a better way to do this than
descriptions?
for example:
Jim: Isn't ConteXt fun?
John: Sure. When you know what you're doing.
