Hello, I finally found a solution (which doesn't use \description or any other Ctx command) (and which may be clumsy - I'm not so good in tex programming):
----
\def\IndByText#1{%
\newbox\IndByTextBox
\newdimen\IndByTextBoxWd
\setbox\IndByTextBox\hbox{#1}%
\IndByTextBoxWd=\wd\IndByTextBox
\advance\leftskip by\IndByTextBoxWd
\def\Left##1{%
\hskip-\IndByTextBoxWd
\hbox to\IndByTextBoxWd{##1\hfill}%
\ignorespaces
}%
\ignorespaces
\setupindenting[no]%
}
\starttext
\input knuth
\bgroup
\IndByText{\bold{Abcdef~}}
\Left{\bold{Abcdef}}
\input knuth
\bgroup
\IndByText{\bold{Klmnopqr~}}
\Left{\bold{Klmnopqr}}
Something
\Left{\bold{Shorter}}
\input knuth
\egroup
\egroup
\stoptext
----
The only thing I cannot get rid of is a warning in the log:
"
warning > \box \IndByTextBox is already defined (\relax it first)
warning > \dimen \IndByTextBoxWd is already defined (\relax it first)
"
How & where to "relax the box"?
Best regards,
Lukas

Hello,
I'm trying to get nested descriptions (using "tab") to form a "cascade". The
result should look like:
AAA ababababababab
ababababababab
BBB ababababab
ababababab
CCC ababab
ababab
<--> indent (margin?) of the first nested description in relation to its parent
should equal width of parent's head (+ distance?), i.e. width of "AAA ",
<--> indent (margin?) of the second nested description in relation to its
parent
should equal width of parent's head (+ distance?), i.e. width of "BBB
",
<------> so it should be width of "AAA " + 'width of "BBB " in total.
I'm not able to achieve this. My code so far is (and I also played with various
combinations of alternative, margin, hang, indent...):
----
\starttext
A
\bgroup
\setuptab[headstyle={\bold\tt},sample=123,width=fit,alternative=left]
\starttab{abc}
\input knuth
\starttab{def}
\input knuth
\stoptab
\stoptab
\egroup
\bgroup
\setuptab[headstyle={\bold\tt},sample=123456,width=fit,alternative=hanging]
\starttab{ghijkl}
\input knuth
\starttab{mnopqr}
\input knuth
\stoptab
\stoptab
\egroup
\stoptext
----
- Paragraphs of "abc" and "def": size of indentation of the paragraphs is good in relation to width
of head, but paragraph "def" is not "cascaded".
- Paragraphs "ghijkl" and "mnopqr" are "cascaded" well; but width of (margin?)
is any - it is not related to the width of the sample text.
So how to combine both approaches to get the desired result?
Best regards,
Lukas
