Hi Mojca,

I wish too…
At some point some years ago, I used descriptions such as yours and  
the only way
I could solve the problem of your abc too clsoe to title was to  
put an empty {}:

\definedescription
[ma]
[headstyle=bold,
 style=italic,
 align=left,
 location=left,
 width=fit,
 distance=0pt,
 margin=0pt,
 hang=2,
 indenting=never]
\starttext

\input tufte

\startma[Thm]{Conjecture 1}{} abc. \input knuth
\stopma

\input tufte
\blank

As mentioned in \in {}[Thm], we can show that\dots
\stoptext



 2.) What exactly does hang=1 do? I have no idea what it does there,
 but that was the only way to get the desired result, else everything
 gets indented. width=fit makes problems. With width=5cm everything is
 OK.


the hang parameter is the number of lines which are hang-indenting  
after the beginning of the description;
however  hang=0 means that all the description is hang-indenting.

Best regards: OK


 \definedescription
   [ma]
   [headstyle=bold,
style=italic,
align=left,
location=left,
width=fit,
distance=0pt,
margin=0pt,
hang=1,
indenting=never,
   ]
 \starttext

 \input tufte

 \startma{title} abc. \input tufte
 \stopma

 \input tufte

 \stoptext

 Thanks a lot,
Mojca

See my second example (thanks to your example I was able to solve the  
first).
