[NTG-context] noindent vs noindentation in strc-con
Hi,
Why do all the rendering setups in strc-con.mkvi use \noindent? Can the
\noindet be replaced by \noindentation?
\noindent has some side effects. For example, consider this recent
question on TeX.SE:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/499464/context-empty-line-in-enumeration
which basically boils down to the difference between:
\showboxes
\starttext
\noindent
\inmargin{Example 1}
\startitemize
\item This is how enumeration works.
\stopitemize
\inmargin{Example 2}
\startitemize
\item This works correctly
\stopitemize
\stoptext
Note that the first example has an extra space before the itemize.
In principle, replacing \noindent by \noindentation fixes the extra line
break, but it does not work with enumerations because it uses
\inmargin[scope=local]:
\showboxes
\starttext
\noindentation
\inmargin[scope=local]{Example 1}
\startitemize
\item This is how enumeration works.
\stopitemize
\inmargin[scope=local]{Example 2}
\startitemize
\item This works correctly
\stopitemize
\stoptext
where the box containing "noindentation" is misgligned.
So, two questions:
* Why is \noindent used instead of \noidentation?
* Is there a bug with scope=local?

[NTG-context] registers: subentry indentation different from word--number gap?
I don't think the current behavior is a bug, so the following is a
feature request:
With the following fairly minimal example
\setupregister[index][indicator=no, distance=0.5em]
\starttext
ABC\index{x}DEF\index{x+yyz}
\blank
\placeindex
\stoptext
the distance parameter sets (1) the hanging indentation of the 'yyz'
subentry and also (2) the distance between an entry and its pagenumber.
(That's what a look at strc-reg.mkiv shows too.)
It's a matter of taste, but my eye thinks that 0.5em is right for no. 2,
but too small for no. 1 -- whereas the default (1em) is just right for
no. 1 but too large for no. 2.
Thus, could the two dimensions be decoupled and bcome settable
indepently? Perhaps keep 'distance' for the entry--pagenumber distance
(no. 2), which is its meaning on the wiki, and invent 'subdistance' for
the hanging indent (no. 1)?
I've just realized a cheap hack to do the same, so maybe it's not worth
messing with backward compatability by adding a new parameter. The hack:
\def\blah#1{#1\hskip-0.5em}
\setupregister[index][indicator=no, distance=1em, textcommand=\blah]
