I couldn't find the extra space in the source, but here's the minimal
test file in the hope that your eyes and understanding are sharper.
The "I" from Indented? is indented a tiny bit relative to the section
number (context 2006.08.02):
\setuphead[section][after={\dontleavehmode}]
\starttext
\section{First}
Indented?
\stoptext

The space is created from the linefeed at the end of the line
\section{First}
but I do not quite see why it is not ignored.

Right in front of my nose (I was looking in the source files for a
line that needed a % at the end). Is it because tex is still in
horizontal mode thanks to the \dontleavehmode, and also because spaces
after } are not ignored automatically?

The answer is yes (the new release has a patch for this by adding
\ignorespaces at the end of the \section command).

In my plain-TeX days I used \ignorespaces all over in definitions of \section and \subsection for that purpose. Eventually that and other formatting code got too messy (the worst was after I hacked up a \url macro). So rather than reinvent many wheels badly, I switched to ConTeXt. So thanks for the rapid fixes, to that one and to the overfull hbox from the indented \strut. -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1. ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
