Hi, it's me again...

I managed to finish my first "serious" ConTeXt project (in fact, it was a two-page math test for my wife, who teaches maths;)).

But I encountered quite a few problems with itemizations. To sum it up, I've prepared a minimal sample file illustrating them. Here it is:

========= cut here ========= \def\testitemize#1#2#3{{\bf #1}\par \startitemize #2 \item plplplpl \item plplplpl \startitemize #3 \item plplplpl \item plplplpl \item plplplpl \item plplplpl \item plplplpl \stopitemize \item plplplpl \stopitemize {\bf Blah, blah.} \page}

\starttext

\testitemize{Different numbering. Results in overfull hboxes---???}

...

{}{[a][left=(,right=),stopper=]}

Use [a,broad][...] or [a][width=...,...] for the inner list.

Thanks, it works - but still, for me it's a workaround; what if I don't want it to be broad or to fiddle with widths (I didn't check the "width" idea, I guess it's about explicitly giving the width of the "(a)" etc.; but even without broad/width I'd expect it to work.) (Not that I'm unhappy with ConTeXt in general, but as a user I'd like it to be as good and usable as possible...)

...

\testitemize{Outer one packed. Inner one gets also packed---is this ok???} {[packed]}{}

Yes but you could use [unpacked] for the inner list.

Thanks, it also works. It isn't documented anywhere, I'm afraid - I'll try to post this to the wiki. The other ones are still mysterious to me. Greets -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.faculty.fmcs.amu.edu.pl) <><
