Hi,
I was in the process to convert an itemize part to a description and wanted to simplify the code in the same move. I discovered headcommand for that, but struggled to set the text in an highlight _and_ make a colon at the end.
Not sure what exactly you want, but how about:
\definehighlight[hl][style={\m{>},\switchtobodyfont[tt]}] % This is the wrong way to define such a command as '>' is not part of the style. I have left this definition just for comparison with the soln below.
\definedescription[category][ alternative=top, headstyle=bold, width=broad, ]
\definedescription[desc][ width=fit, distance={\widthofstring{~}}, headcommand={\groupedcommand{>,}{:}}, headstyle=\tt, before={\startpacked}, after={\stoppacked}, alternative=hanging, ]
\starttext
This is a \hl{highlight}.
Some listings
\startcategory{Itemize} \startitemize[packed] \item \hl{first}: one \item \hl{second}: two \stopitemize \stopcategory
Now the same as desc: \startcategory{Desc} \startdesc{first} one \stopdesc \startdesc{second} two \stopdesc \stopcategory
\stoptext
