Many thanks! The wiki says it is used to "define a collection of indenting settings". I used it to indent more then in the case of other paragraphs the first line of the first paragraph in a chapter, so your solution is unfortunately not exactly what I mean.
To indent the first line you can use \setupindenting [yes, 2cm] That, however, is not configurable. And frankly I've never seen varying paragraph indentations in a document. If you really need it you can build a wrapper around this. \def\defineindenting {\dodoubleempty\dodefineindenting} \def\dodefineindenting [#1][#2] {\setvalue{#1}{\setupindenting[yes, #2]}} \defineindenting [first] [2cm] \defineindenting [second] [3cm] \starttext \first \input knuth \second \input knuth \stoptext Marco
