Feature request: \newitemize or something like this
by Marcin Borkowski 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

Hi there! I have a feature request (or a question "how to do it";)) concerning itemizations. Currently, they are much like LaTeX (say, with the enumitem package). I think this is not the best idea. I can hardly imagine using more than two levels of itemize in my documents; on the other hand, I like to introduce different "kinds" of itemize on the _first_ level. Imagine I'm typesetting a paper on mathematics (which I'm doing all the time;)). I want another kind of itemize for lists of: * equivalent conditions (as in: "the following are equivalent: ..."); * statements connected by an "or" clause (as in: "at least one of these holds: ..."; * statements connected by an "and" clause (as in: "assume that these conditions are satisfied: ..."). What I usually do (in LaTeX) is to define a few environments, like "equivenumerate", "orenumerate", "andenumerate" etc., and make them use (a), (b), ..., (i), (ii), ..., or (1), (2), ... respectively. This way I have a clear visual clue in my papers on what's going where, and on the other hand, I separate content and presentation. Would it be possible in ConTeXt? If yes, how to do this? Maybe it's worth mentioning in the new manual? (As usual, I'll try to post the answer on the wiki when I have some spare time!) -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.faculty.fmcs.amu.edu.pl)

Happy ConTeXt Community Day :)
by Mojca Miklavec 01 Sep '08

Hello, I would like to express my best wishes to the two very special people who did most for the ConTeXt community - who are voluntary, with all their enthusiasm, helping others and developing whatever users around the World desire. I wish them both to be able to do their dream job (as well as to spend enough time away from computer for other hobbies :), and would like to thank them both for the marvellous work they are doing. Today could be declared the "ConTeXt Community Day" :) Patrick, alles gutes zum Geburtstag! Taco, van harte gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag! M.
