\defineitemgroup is, excuse my rage, fucking messed up. I have \defineitemgroup [algorithmio] [levels=1] \setupalgorithmio [5*broad, packed] [symstyle=slanted] This does not affect the rendering of \starttext \startalgorithmio \sym{Input:} ... \sym{Output:} ... \stopalgorithmio \stoptext Why, oh why, is this so. I've just wasted two hours trying to figure it out, and I'm a bit tired of it. Update (1 minute after finishing above): ARGH! Just realized it now. I'm so stupid for not figuring this out sooner. The level of the itemgroup must be given!!! OMG... Please Hans, when you get the time, update the documentation for core-itm.tex. Anyway, it should be \setupalgorithmio [1] [5*broad, packed] [symstyle=slanted] The same thus goes for \setupitemize if anyone runs into unforseen trouble with it. nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}
