Hi! I wonder if it is possible to automatically have the itemize in columns and have the order changed (in effect, the whole itemization should be transposed) so that one gets a b c d e f instead of a c e b d f With automatically, I mean that one could use some keyword instead of adding a \stopitemize\startitemize[continued] in the middle (found here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Enumerations#Multicolumn) See the example below, resulting pdf is attached. /Mikael \starttext \startitemize[a,columns,three,intro][stopper=,right=)] \item $\int_0^2 1+2x\,dx$ \item $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^s\,ds$ \item $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^{2s}\,ds$ \item $\int_0^{\pi} \sin t\,dt$ \item $\int_0^{2\pi}\sin t\,dt$ \item $\int_0^1\frac{1}{1+x^2}\,dx$ \stopitemize \input tufte \startitemize[a,columns,three,intro][stopper=,right=)] \item $\int_0^2 1+2x\,dx$ \item $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^s\,ds$ \item $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^{2s}\,ds$ \stopitemize \startitemize[continue] \item $\int_0^{\pi} \sin t\,dt$ \item $\int_0^{2\pi}\sin t\,dt$ \item $\int_0^1\frac{1}{1+x^2}\,dx$ \stopitemize \stoptext

a b c d e f

instead of

With automatically, I mean that one could use some keyword instead of adding a \stopitemize\startitemize[continued] in the middle (found here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Enumerations#Multicolumn) \starttext

\startitemize[a,horizontal,three] \startitem $\int_0^2 1+2x\,dx$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^s\,ds$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^{2s}\,ds$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^{\pi} \sin t\,dt$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^{2\pi}\sin t\,dt$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^1\frac{1}{1+x^2}\,dx$ \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext Wolfgang

Out of curiosity: Is there a reason why the above does not work using \item, like \startitemize[a,horizontal,three] \item $\int_0^2 1+2x\,dx$ \item $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^s\,ds$ \item $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^{2s}\,ds$ \item $\int_0^{\pi} \sin t\,dt$ \item $\int_0^{2\pi}\sin t\,dt$ \item $\int_0^1\frac{1}{1+x^2}\,dx$ \stopitemize but only with \startitem ... \stopitem? It is not that I have anything against using the \start...\stop... mechanism, but just curiosity. /Mikael

I haven't looked at the code, but most likely reason is that it uses a two pass mechanism. It is easier to grab the content of a \start-stop pair rather than a command that could be terminated by either an \item or a \stopitem At least, that is the reason why random option only works with \startitem .. \stopitem Aditya

Thanks Aditya, I'll accept that there is a reason. Another related thing (sorry if I make this thread a bit difficult to read): Does the horizontal keyword force the list to be packed (and joinedup)? I tried to add unpacked, but with no luck \starttext Some text before. \startitemize[a,horizontal,three,unpacked] \startitem $\int_0^2 1+2x\,dx$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^s\,ds$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^{2s}\,ds$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^{\pi} \sin t\,dt$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^{2\pi}\sin t\,dt$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^1\frac{1}{1+x^2}\,dx$ \stopitem \stopitemize some text after. \stoptext I also tried to add some space before/after, like \starttext Some text before. \startitemize[a,horizontal,three][before={\blank[big]},after={\blank[big]}] \startitem $\int_0^2 1+2x\,dx$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^s\,ds$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^{\ln 2} e^{2s}\,ds$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^{\pi} \sin t\,dt$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^{2\pi}\sin t\,dt$ \stopitem \startitem $\int_0^1\frac{1}{1+x^2}\,dx$ \stopitem \stopitemize some text after. \stoptext /Mikael

Dear list, a shameless bump. (Or should I interpret the silence as it is currently not possible to change space before/after/between when one uses horizontal key?) Best regards, Mikael

Nobody? Hans, could you confirm that it is not possible to use before/after/inbetween together with the horizontal key? If so, consider it being a feature request (I of course have no idea if it is possible or not...) :) I'm running closer to the dead line of this document, so I might end up using another approach this time... /Mikael

Thank you, the notjoinedup works well, but I cannot see any difference using any of the keys unpacked or notpacked. Is there any chance to have the before, after and inbetween keys to set the space manually? /Mikael

Is there any chance to have the before, after and inbetween keys to set the space manually? The before should be usable when you add the "notjoinedup" but inbetween will never be supported for horizontal items because all entries are in a single paragraph.

To increase the distance between the lines you can change the interlinespace, e.g. \starttext \startitemize[a,horizontal][inner={\setupinterlinespace[line=6ex]}] \startitem First \stopitem \startitem Second \stopitem \startitem Third \stopitem \startitem Fourth \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext or add a invisible symbol with increased height/depth at the begin of each item, e.g. \define\HorizontalItem {\phantombox[height=\strutht,depth=\dimexpr\strutdp+\lineheight\relax]} \starttext \startitemize[a,horizontal][command=\HorizontalItem] \startitem First \stopitem \startitem Second \stopitem \startitem Third \stopitem \startitem Fourth \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext Wolfgang

\stoptext

or add a invisible symbol with increased height/depth at the begin of each item, e.g.

\define\HorizontalItem {\phantombox[height=\strutht,depth=\dimexpr\strutdp+\lineheight\relax]}

\starttext

\startitemize[a,horizontal][command=\HorizontalItem] \startitem First \stopitem \startitem Second \stopitem \startitem Third \stopitem \startitem Fourth \stopitem \stopitemize

Many thanks Wolfgang! Now I know that the inbetween will never work, but that is not a problem, since your inner= solution worked very well in my document! The setup I ended up using (and that seems to work all over the ~160 pages document) is \defineitemgroup[abc] \setupitemgroup[abc][each][a,horizontal,three,intro,notjoinedup][ stopper=, right=), margin=, before={\blank[medium,samepage]}, inner={\setupinterlinespace[line=3.5ex]}, ] Best regards, Mikael
