Hi all, In the wiki page for \its https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/its we see the example \startitemize [5, % open circles packed] % no blank lines between items (counteracts \setupwhitespace[big]) [width=6em, % width of area in which bullets/numbers/scales are placed distance=2em, % distance between last scale point and item items=4] % number of points in scale % First we print a range key \ran{yes \hss no} % \hss produces an infinitely stretchable (and squashable) space \its I think Lord Peter Wimsey is the bee's knees. \its I think Bunter is the caterpillar's waistcoat. \stopitemize When I run that with the context in TL 2025, I get the output as shown in the wiki page. However, both TL26 and standalone give me different output, in which "I" is overlaid on "think" (or vice versa). No doubt someone familiar with the code will immediately see the problem. Unfortunately, that isn't me. :-) Thanks. Jim

Wolfgang, thanks very much for finding the fix... your fix got me back on track. Jim
