Space between item symbol and item text
Dear all, how do I decrease the horizontal whitespace between the symbol and the text in an item[ize] list? The manual suggests this: \startitemize[1*serried] \item Test \stopitemize It's not working, I get the same distance as with no option at all . Test But I wanted . Test In fact, the option <<n>>*serried does not have any effect, whereas <<n>>*broad is working properly. Any suggestions? Thanks!

You can use absolute values: \startitemize[width=1em,distance=0pt] Wolfgang

Great! I will add that to the wiki.
From testing I assume "width" controls the width of the symbol (i.e. symbol space, if the symbol is not very wide) and "distance" an additional distance from the symbol's right edge. So one will get the same results from these 2: Width=0pt,distance=1em Width=1em,distance=0pt

Yes.

Not always: \starttext \startitemize[n][width=2em,distance=0pt,itemalign=flushright] \dorecurse{10}{\item text} \stopitemize \startitemize[n][width=0pt,distance=2em,itemalign=flushright] \dorecurse{10}{\item text} \stopitemize \stoptext Wolfgang
Not always:
\starttext
\startitemize[n][width=2em,distance=0pt,itemalign=flushright] \dorecurse{10}{\item text} \stopitemize
\startitemize[n][width=0pt,distance=2em,itemalign=flushright] \dorecurse{10}{\item text} \stopitemize
\stoptext
Understood. But the important thing is to know the possibility with the absolute values. Users will play with the values anyway. Check it out: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Enumerations#Horizontal_spacing

(untested) \startitemize[fit,broad][distance=0.25em] Aditya

Aditya, that works, but how do you set it for all items? I tried the following, but it didn't work: \setupitemize[fit,broad][distance=0.25em] -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com
