Description
\tab is a description created with \definedescription[tab]. By default, it leaves 4em for the key and 2em of space between the key area and the paragraph, the latter thanks to width=broad. width=fit leaves no space in between. In mkiv, width=fit leaves 1em of space between the key space and the paragraph; this is probably a bug.
Example
\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={\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
