I would normally use tab stops and line breaks to achieve the following in a numbered list:

1. DC = 3.20 bbl = 420 ft

HWDP = 3.90 bbl = 450 ft

DP = 34.63 bbl = 2,037 ft

Totals = 41.73 bbl = 2,907 ft

2. [next step …]

This is what I tried, but the output has a blank line at the number. I can’t find anything about tabulate inside itemize.

\starttext

\startitemize[n]

\startitem \starttabulate[|l|l|r|l|r|]

\NC DC \NC = \NC 3.20 bbl \NC = \NC 420 ft \NC \NR

\NC HWDP \NC = \NC 3.90 bbl \NC = \NC 450 ft \NC \NR

\NC DP \NC = \NC 34.63 bbl \NC = \NC 2,037 ft \NC \NR

\NC DC \NC = \NC 41.73 bbl \NC = \NC 2,907 ft \NC \NR

\stoptabulate \stopitem

\startitem Convert 2,907 to TVD: \\TVD = 2,907 × cosine 45° = 2,907 × 0.707 = 2,056 ft \stopitem

\startitem ΔP = 2,056 ft × 0.052 × (15 – 7.2) = 834 psi

\stopitemize

\stoptext

Is there some way to stop the blank line or should I use an entirely different approach?

THANKS!!
