defineitemgroup interferes with item reference
I cannot figure out the error in the following nested itemization with a reference. Is it a bug or am I overlooking something? Here is the smallest example I could make. Strangely, if I change the startproblemlist to startitemize and stopproblemlist to stopitemize, all is well. \defineitemgroup[problemlist] \starttext \startproblemlist \item Drag \startitemize \item[ref] blah \stopitemize \stopproblemlist \stoptext I'm using context 2008.01.28 21:28 (mkii), Debian GNU/Linux 'unstable' for i386, and the 2008.04.27 version on the Garden gives the same error. The error is !

itemgroups cannot be miced
Though there's no problem without those references in [brackets], so the mixing works most of the time anyway.
this catches it
Thanks! With two small changes, your definition makes the mixing work even when using references. The two changes: (1) the macro needed a closing brace, and (2) there's no \currentitemlevel in any context source file so I guessed that \itemlevel was the intention. So: \def\dostartitemgroup[#1][#2][#3]% {\bgroup \ifnum\itemlevel=\zerocount \def\currentitemgroup{#1}% no nested mixing of itemgroups \fi \ifthirdargument \dodostartitemgroup[#2][#3]% \else \doifassignmentelse{#2} {\dodostartitemgroup[][#2]} {\dodostartitemgroup[#2][]}% } Is this macro worth putting into the official distribution or is it a special hack to keep with my documents that need it? -Sanjoy `Until lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunters.' --African Proverb

Version 2008.01.28 from Norbert's latest packages for Debian unstable. I can upgrade to 2008.04.27 by hand, but my TeX life has become so sipmle since using Norbert's packages that I may let laziness triumph.
Thanks for the useful link. In case it is useful for others: To search my local installation, I do: find /usr/share/texmf/tex/context -name '*.tex' \ | xargs grep -n '\\currentitemlevel' -Sanjoy `Until lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunters.' --African Proverb
