Mikael P. Sundqvist 17. September 2016 um 08:14 Hi!

I wonder if it is possible to automatically have the itemize in columns and have the order changed (in effect, the whole itemization should be transposed) so that one gets

a b c d e f

instead of

a c e b d f

With automatically, I mean that one could use some keyword instead of adding a \stopitemize\startitemize[continued] in the middle (found here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Enumerations#Multicolumn)

\starttext

\startitemize[a,horizontal,three] \startitem $\int_0^2 1+2x\,dx$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^s\,ds$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^{2s}\,ds$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^{\pi} \sin t\,dt$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^{2\pi}\sin t\,dt$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^1\frac{1}{1+x^2}\,dx$ \stopitem \stopitemize

\stoptext

Thank you very much!

I updated the wiki entry (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Enumerations#Multicolumn), I hope it is appropriate.

Out of curiosity: Is there a reason why the above does not work using \item, like \startitemize[a,horizontal,three] \item $\int_0^2 1+2x\,dx$ \item $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^s\,ds$ \item $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^{2s}\,ds$ \item $\int_0^{\pi} \sin t\,dt$ \item $\int_0^{2\pi}\sin t\,dt$ \item $\int_0^1\frac{1}{1+x^2}\,dx$ \stopitemize but only with \startitem ... \stopitem? It is not that I have anything against using the \start...\stop... mechanism, but just curiosity. /Mikael
