I am trying to make a pointing finger the bullet point symbol.
When I put the bullet point into the document, it works just fine. But when defined as the pointer, it somehow isn't showing up.
The symbol is set before the value of the symbol-key is available to the environment and therefore never used. You can now either set the symbol with \setupitemize (or \setupitemgroup) before you call \startitemize (or \startitemgroup) or pass the symbol as keyword as shown below. %%%% begin example \setupbodyfont[ebgaramond,12pt] \definesymbol[bighand][☞] \define[1]\prompt {\startitemize[bighand]% \startitem \italic{#1}% \stopitem \stopitemize} \starttext Why does this work? ☞☞☞☞ \prompt{But not here?} \stoptext %%%% end example Wolfgang
