Aditya, It took me awhile to sort through all the code to find what was creating the problem. It appears that the code for the first page of a chapter is the culprit but I don't know why it's causing the problem. \definepagebreak[mychapterpagebreak][yes,header,right] %eliminates headers on blank pages \def\ChapterTitle#1#2{ \centerline{\switchtobodyfont[ChapterStart,18pt]{\ss\bf #2}} \godown[.5in]} \setuphead[chapter] [command= \ChapterTitle,textstyle=bold,header=empty,footer=empty, page=mychapterpagebreak, numbercommand={\switchtobodyfont[big]{\ss\sl}}] \definestartstop [exdent] [before={\startnarrower[left]\setupindenting[-\leftskip,yes]}, after=\stopnarrower] \starttext \chapter{HangingIndent} \startexdent \dorecurse{10}{Para 1: Some random text to fill space} \dorecurse{10}{Para 2: Some random text to fill space} \dorecurse{10}{Para 3: Some random text to fill space} \dorecurse{10}{Para 4: Some random text to fill space} \stopexdent \stoptext Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey -----Original Message----- From: ntg-context-bounces@ntg.nl [mailto:ntg-context-bounces@ntg.nl] On Behalf Of Aditya Mahajan Sent: Monday, April 05, 2010 1:52 PM To: mailing list for ConTeXt users Subject: Re: [NTG-context] Hanging indents On Mon, 5 Apr 2010, Tom wrote:
Exdent works fine when I substitute my text for Knuth in the example, but has a problem when I include it in my document. The first line of text after Exdent is called is not outdented, but is in all subsequent paragraphs as it should be. I tried calling Exdent for the paragraphs that start my document and get the same result. From that I surmise that I have set up something that overrides the outdenting on the first line of the first paragraph, but is overridden by Exdent after that. Do you have any ideas what it might be?
Can you create a minimal example that does not work? \definestartstop [exdent] [before={\startnarrower[left]\setupindenting[-\leftskip,yes]}, after=\stopnarrower] \starttext \startexdent \dorecurse{10}{Para 1: Some random text to fill space} \dorecurse{10}{Para 2: Some random text to fill space} \dorecurse{10}{Para 3: Some random text to fill space} \dorecurse{10}{Para 4: Some random text to fill space} \stopexdent \stoptext Aditya ____________________________________________________________________________ _______ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ____________________________________________________________________________ _______
