Dear list, Although, not a fix for the issue, here is a workaround that allowed me to achieve what I wanted: \definedescription[amnata] \setupdescription[amnata] [closesymbol={}, closecommand=\wordright, before=\startamnatanarrower, after=\stopamnatanarrower] \startamnata A quote from another author : Suppose that thereisalongwordhere. \wordright{– author} \stopamnata With this the argument of \wordright appears correctly at the right-edge of the block. Note that this does not work (as expected) when closesymbol is not set (or, is empty). Therefore, here I have set closesymbol={U+200B}, which is the zero width space.
