For some reason I used someone's earlier posting to test something about my tex software and accidentally happened upon this odd behavior. If the \startitemize code below is repeated 10 or more times, either with \dorecurse or by pasting it ten times, only one is typeset. If nine times, then all nine are typeset. If "Some text" is un-commented, then all ten are typeset along with "Some text." (If working with the pasted version, the "Some text" can appear after the first or second iteration, or before any iteration that appears on the first page, and all itemizations will appear.) Michael MWE: ------------------------ \starttext %Some text \dorecurse{10}{ \startitemize \item Find a well-ordered set. \startitemize[n, columns, four][stopper=,left=(, right=)] \item $\{ 2 + \frac{1}{n}, n \in\naturalnumbers\}$ \item $[0, 1)$ \item $\{3 - \frac{2}{n}, n \in \naturalnumbers\}$ \item $ \reals$ \stopitemize \stopitemize } \stoptext ________________________________ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
