Hello,
I was fed up with LaTeX, and became a newbie user of ConTeXt, and I think it's great and I really agree with the philosophy.
Hi Jamie, I’m also another newbie (I switched to ConTeXt years ago ;-)), although I cannot code myself :-(. One of the features I value most is direct typesetting of XML sources.
I know that \startitemize ...\stopitemize is very customizable, but I would like to learn ConTeXt by learning how I could, for example, build the itemize environment myself from scratch. Can someone give me pointers on the best place to start? Then I can learn the code on my own (and not be a pest on this list :) ).
If you want to go the hard way (it would be the impossible way for me :-)), tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/strc-itm.mkvi may be the file you are looking for. The wiki offers some explanation on the topic (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Enumerations). You might be interested in improving it. Just in case it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
