I am writing a workbook that contains a materials list in front of some craft activities. I found that simply displaying a bulleted list can take up lots of space on the page, so instead put the list in three columns. The problem is, if there is an item with a somewhat long description, it can be split across columns. See the example below: \starttext \startcolumns[n=3]% \startitemize[1]% \item pizza cutter \item a word processor (or notebook paper) \stopitemize% \stopcolumns%\stoptext In the example, it split the second item across the columns. How can I create columns that don't allow the item to split across them?
