I tried to complete https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setuplist, but I don’t understand all parameters. Can anyone explain these please: * state (start stop): what does this en-/disable? collecting entries? * label (yes no none Name): language dependent labels? as a prefix or what? * location (none, here): disable placement? when makes this sense? * symbol (one two three none default): where is this used?

One solved, still 4 to go… Please, anyone who used these?

In the source there is a comment relating to location: %D Regular list entries are bound to a specific location in order to get the right %D pagenumber etc.\ associated. When pushing something inbetween (in mkiv) it ends %D up directtly in the list. This is the default because otherwise users will wonder %D why spacing might get messed up (due to an unseen but present node). It is %D possible to force a location by explicitly setting \type {location} to \type %D {here}. %D %D Another way to force a certain order is to set the \type {order} variable when %D placing a list. The \type {command} option only pushes commands into the right %D order, and \type {all} orders all entries (which might be too much). In this case %D no specific location is needed with the inbetween method. Maybe additional %D mechanisms show up some day. See \type {inbetween-001.tex} for an example. I don't really understand what capability the comment is referring to let alone be able to create an example demonstrating the difference. — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK
