I am setting up notes and exercises for my students. Each set of exercises is in an itemize environment, and each \item consists of a table of problems. The trouble is, the itemize doesn't break across pages - I have to put manual page breaks in. How can I encourage automatic page-breaks? Thanks, Alasdair

The trouble arises when I put my tables into narrower, framedtext so as to
be able to force proper indentation:
\starttext
\startitemize[n]
\dorecurse{20}{\item This is a test
\startnarrower[left]
\startframedtext[frame=off,offset=overlay]
\starttables[|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|]
\NC (a) \NC Problem 1
\NC (b) \NC Problem 2
\NC (c) \NC Problem 3
\NC (d) \NC Problem 4 \NC\NR
\noalign{\blank[3mm]}
\NC (e) \NC Problem 5
\NC (f) \NC Problem 6
\NC (g) \NC Problem 7
\NC (h) \NC Problem 8 \NC\NR
\stoptables
\stopframedtext
\stopnarrower}
\stopitemize
\stoptext
On the other hand, the file:
\starttext
\startitemize[n]
\dorecurse{20}{\item This is a test
\starttables[|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|]
\NC (a) \NC Problem 1
\NC (b) \NC Problem 2
\NC (c) \NC Problem 3
\NC (d) \NC Problem 4 \NC\NR
\noalign{\blank[3mm]}
\NC (e) \NC Problem 5
\NC (f) \NC Problem 6
\NC (g) \NC Problem 7
\NC (h) \NC Problem 8 \NC\NR
\stoptables}
\stopitemize
\stoptext
breaks across pages properly, but the tables aren't properly aligned at the
left.
cheers,
Alasdair

Thank you - that works fine; especially the first, in which the problems read in order across, rather than down in columns. cheers, Alasdair On Sat, Mar 12, 2011 at 6:05 AM, Wolfgang Schuster < schuster.wolfgang@googlemail.com> wrote:
