Hi Mikael,

That looks very attractive. However, with the following code, I end up with a large gap above the first row.

\defineitemgroup[alex]

\setupitemgroup
 [alex]
 [each]
 [a,two]
 [
 margin=2cm,
 before=\blank[overlay,-depth],
 stopper=)
 ]

\showboxes
\autofences

\starttext
\samplefile{ward}

\startitemize[n][style=\bf]
 \startitem
 \startalextable
 \startitem $6(x - \dfrac{5}{12})^2 - \dfrac{1}{24}$ \stopitem
 \startitem $-3(x - \dfrac{1}{3})^2 + \dfrac{1}{3}$ \stopitem
 \startitem $7(x + \dfrac{5}{14})^2 + \dfrac{199}{28}$ \stopitem
 \startitem $-\dfrac{1}{2}(x + 2)^2 + \dfrac{9}{2}$ \stopitem
 \stopalextable
 \stopitem
\stopitemize

\samplefile{ward}
\stoptext

It’s true that \vtop{…} does the job for a single line of items, but it doesn’t in the case there’re multiple (\vtop{}) aligns with the bottom.

Here’s a modified MWE

\startitemize[n][style=\bf]
  \item \godown[-\lineheight] \startitemize [a,columns,two,packed,broad][stopper=),before={\blank[nowhite]}]
    \item $6(x - \dfrac{5}{12})^2 - \dfrac{1}{24}$
    \item $-3(x - \dfrac{1}{3})^2 + \dfrac{1}{3}$
    \item $7(x + \dfrac{5}{14})^2 + \dfrac{199}{28}$
    \item $-\dfrac{1}{2}(x + 2)^2 + \dfrac{9}{2}$
  \stopitemize

I'd do it this way:

\starttext
\startitemize[n][style=\bf]
\item\vtop{%
  \startitemize[a,horizontal,four][stopper=\)]
    \startitem
      $6(x - \dfrac{5}{12})^2 - \dfrac{1}{24}$
    \stopitem
    \startitem
      $-3(x - \dfrac{1}{3})^2 + \dfrac{1}{3}$
    \stopitem
    \startitem
      $7(x + \dfrac{5}{14})^2 + \dfrac{199}{28}$
    \stopitem
    \startitem
      $-\dfrac{1}{2}(x + 2)^2 + \dfrac{9}{2}$
    \stopitem
  \stopitemize
}
\stopitemize

Dear ConTeXt users,

Time goes by but I haven't yet found a nice solution to this issue. When having mathematics, I'd not like to adjust by hand the factor of \linewidth for the \godown command.

Here's a MWE

\starttext

\startitemize[n][style=\bf]
  \item \godown[-\lineheight] \startitemize [a,columns,four,packed,broad][stopper=),before={\blank[nowhite]}]

    \item $6(x - \dfrac{5}{12})^2 - \dfrac{1}{24}$
    \item $-3(x - \dfrac{1}{3})^2 + \dfrac{1}{3}$
    \item $7(x + \dfrac{5}{14})^2 + \dfrac{199}{28}$
    \item $-\dfrac{1}{2}(x + 2)^2 + \dfrac{9}{2}$
  \stopitemize

\stopitemize

\stoptext

Thanks in advance.

Dear all,

I'm struggling to setup a nested itemize with no blank line and several columns.

What I mean is something like

1. a) bla   c) bla

    b) bla   d) bla

The following MWE is my starting point

\starttext
\startitemize[n]
\item \blank[-line]
\startitemize[a,horizontal,two] [margin=2cm]
\item First
\item Second
\item Third
\item Fourth
\stopitemize
\item \blank[-line]
\startitemize[a,horizontal,columns,two]
\item First
\item Second
\item Third
\item Fourth
\stopitemize
\stopitemize
\stoptext

Thanks in advance
