Re: [NTG-context] margin option in itemize

Thanks Wolfgang and Luigi. Luigi's solution worked well. Unfortunately, left={hspace[normal]} did not give the desired outcome. The item symbols were still at their original location. I have a follow up question. Based on your solution I also tried left=\hskip 2.10em, which works too? Is there a reason why \kern is better than \hskip? Thanks.

Can someone please explain why the margin command does not work in this example? What can I do to obtain the margin.

Thanks.

\setuppapersize[letter][letter] \starttext

\input tufte

\startitemize        \item This is the first item of outer list.                \startitemize[a][stopper=)]                        \item Context is great. The more I use it the more I love it.                        \item Hope it continues to develop further.                \stopitemize        \item This is the second item of outer list.
