Wolfgang,

Did you imply in the email below that a new key or something was added to \startitemize setups?  I mean, using \setupmixedcolumns works fine but is it possible to do this in each \startitemize individually?

Thanks,

Hossein

I have posted  a question in tex stack exchange

Customize right to left list in context

My aim is to obtain right to left  items arranged  in  multi-column, if I use 

\startitemize [s,columns,three] [margin=1em]   

the result is three column where first column start from left side of page, but I want it to start from right side of page.

I can use \startcolumns[direction=left]\startitemize \item First \item Second \item Third \stopitemize \stopcolumns 

but I think it look better if there is a key direction=left for the \startitemize environment such as used in columns environment.

The underlying columns mechanism has a reverse option for the direction key. I sent a patch to the dev list which allows a direst setting of the direction value with the \startitemize command.

\starttext

\startitemize[columns,three]
\dorecurse{9}{\item Entry \recurselevel}
\stopitemize

\blank[3*line]

\setupmixedcolumns[itemgroupcolumns][direction=reverse]

\startitemize[columns,three]
\dorecurse{9}{\item Entry \recurselevel}
\stopitemize

\stoptext

Wolfgang
