== Description ==
<code>\tab</code> (a <code>description</code> created with <code>{{cmd|definedescription}}[tab]</code>) starts an indented paragraph with a word or two (the 'key') in front of it. <code>\setuptab</code> configures styles and dimensions for <code>\tab</code>. By default, it leaves 4em for the key and 2em of space between the key area and the paragraph, the latter thanks to <code>width=broad</code>. <code>width=fit</code> leaves no space in between. In mkiv, <code>width=fit</code> leaves 1em of space between the key space and the paragraph; this is probably a bug.
== Example ==
<context source=yes>
\def\ruler{%
\dorecurse{8}{%
\dontleavehmode%
\blackrule[width={\dimexpr1em-0.5pt}, height=0.5pt]%
\dontleavehmode%
\blackrule[width=0.5pt, height=1ex]%
}
}
\def\testpara{%
They might have called Sunday the super-man. If any such creature
be conceivable, he looked, indeed, somewhat like it, with his
earth-shaking abstraction, as of a stone statue walking.
}
(The ruler is marked in ems.
The quotation is from G.K. Chesterton's {\em The Man who was Thursday}.)
\ruler \par
\setuptab[width=broad, sample={\blackrule[width=2em]}, headstyle=slanted]
\tab{\blackrule[width=2em]} (Sample of 2em wide, broad width.) \testpara \par
\ruler \par\setuptab[width=broad, sample= Description {\blackrule[width=4em]}, headstyle= slanted]\tab{\blackrule[width=4em]} (Sample of 4em wide, broad width.) \testpara \par
\ruler \par
\setuptab[width=fit, sample={\blackrule[width=2em]}, headstyle=slanted]
\tab{\blackrule[width=2em]} (Sample of 2em wide, fit width.) \testpara \par
\ruler \par
\setuptab[width=3em, sample={thisisaverylongsample}, headstyle=slanted]
\tab{\blackrule[width=3em]} (Exact width of 3em overrides long sample.) \testpara \par
