howto set maxitemdepth
Hi, what is the preferred way to set the maximum item depth for itemization with symbols? I can decrease the default value of 6 with \setcounter. However, increasing to values higher than 6 results in an error: "Missing number, treated as zero". Thanks, Florian

With MkII it was possible to increase the itemlevel with the “levels” key but MkIV has a fixed depth which can’t be changed.

\maxitemdepth is a real counter and \setcounter won’t work here. The only thing you can do is to ask Hans to implement the “levels” key in MkIV. What you have to know is that this key is only used when you define a new list with \defineitemgroup, for a already existing group like “itemize” you can increase the depth. Wolfgang

Strange, I tried \defineitemgroup[myitm][levels=11] in MKII but still I get "currently no more than 6 levels in itemizations". Levels do not seem to work anymore.

OK. What I don't understand is why is there a hardcoded limit? The indentation of depth greater than 6 is working all right only the symbols are kept constant (\definesymbol[6]) for all depth > 6. Florian

it has to do with the fact that there can be settings set for 'each' level so the number of levels should be known then i'll add a levels key as well as auto level support but don't complain when you have to redo settings after incrementing levels Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
