Hi all!
Is there a possiblity to have itemize calculate the optimal label width itself? I have an itemize that has rather different labels, e.g.:
\startitemize \sym{1.} An item \sym{2.} Another item \sym{103 a.} An item with a very broad label \stopitemize
In this example the label "103 a." flows into the item text. It would be great if itemize would automatically use a label width that fits the broadest label.
for the moment use: \startitemize[2*broad] and remind me in a few couple of weeks (months); it's on my mental to-do list (not that hard to implement probably) Hans
