Anything else will leave to undersirable behaviour (or segfaults :) ) As I had said in one of my earlier emails, this is the case for ALL context macros that take both options and assignments.
Fair enough. I got it to work now with, \startitemize[R,2*broad][start=11,before=\startlinecorrection,after= \stoplinecorrection] My only concern here is that, for something as incredibly fundamental and recurring in the world of ConTeXt, the caveats and distinctions to be made between options and assignments, that can and have taken down entire operating systems, or cause hour after hour of no end of vague syntactical errors, or even successful compilations with the wrong effects, shouldn't that probably have been mentioned at least once, even if only in passing, somewhere within the 369 page user manual? The word "assignment" I couldn't locate once. I'm not sure if this is a concept inherited from TeX, but if it is, it's probably not a good idea for the documentation and the user interface to assume that ConTeXt users have a background with TeX or derived.
