Me stupid! Willi, this message made my day. I've been using ConTeXt for more than a year now, but I was never able to figure out what setupitemize [.1.] .1. number each meant. So it's the level of itemization. Thanks, that should make things easier. And many thanks to Patrick and to you for pointing out the left= option. ConTeXt and the number of options it gives never cease to amaze me!
since we're back on the topic of itemize, I'll repost a question that I've posted here before:
-----------------------------------------------------
It seems to me that the 'before' and 'after' keywords used in the third argument of \setupitemize are operative only if 'columns' are also specified. In the example below, the hairlines disappear if the 'columns' keyword is eliminated.
Feature, bug, or misunderstanding?
a bit of all, this will take me some time (maybe when i redo the item environment); has to do with grouping and such as well as before/after handling (compare output with\chardef\autoitemgroupspacing=0 set)
BTW: can the lengths of the two hairlines in this example be made to be the same length? What's causing the indentation of the first hairline?
a bit tricky: par's (\endgraf's interfere in such matters, i.e. you need to invoke the command when the width is (still) known) \setupitemize [2] [a,packed,columns] [before={\thinrule\endgraf}, after={\endgraf\thinrule}]
