Changes

ConTeXt provides a similar mechanism. Unlike the LaTeX version, ConTeXt's description mechanism does not enclose the items in an environment, but instead formats them independently according to formats given in <cmd>setupdescriptionsetupdescriptions</cmd> or <cmd>definedescription</cmd>. The <cmd>definedescription</cmd> latter command is used to define a named description class, which can later be called using its name. This example defines a <tt>latexdesc</tt> description, with parameters that roughly approximate the LaTeX defaults.
