I have about several different types of list that reoccur multiple times in my documents. Though I tried to keep things simple, by just defining the type when it appears, strange glitches appear. For instance, I have one that uses the ☞ (pointing hand) logo, and sometimes that randomly appears in the wrong lists, for reasons I cannot understand. Below is how I'm defining my lists. I have about a dozen more, this is a sample. Is there some more robust and consistent manner in which I should be defining them, so the settings from one type don't spill over into the other types? --Joel %prompt \definesymbol[bighand][{{☞}}] \define[1]\prompt{%     \setupitemize[symbol=bighand]     \startitemize         {\it #1}     \stopitemize }% \prompt{What did you learn about today?} %vocabulary \startcolumns[n=3]\startitemize[n] \item word1 \item word2 \item word3 \stopitemize\stopcolumns %nested outline \startitemize[1]     \item some text     \startitemize[2]         \item some text         \startitemize[3]               \item some text         \stopitemize     \stopitemize \stopitemize %written answer (produces some lines after the question for writing an answer) \define[1]\writingbox{%     \dorecurse{#1}{%         \hairline%     } } \startitemize[n] \item Which planet is closest to Earth? \writingbox{4} \item What is the moon made of? \writingbox{4} \stopitemize %materials list \startcolumns[n=3]\startitemize \item crayons \item scissors \item glue \stopitemize\stopcolumns %word search clues (should be simple, but strangely this keeps getting the ☞ logo added instead of showing numbers) \startitemize[n] \item a type of hat worn \item a cold season \stopitemize
