Hello list. Here is the first what will no doubt be many *VERY* basic questions. So far, I am having quite a difficult time finding any help in the documentation (not just this issue but pretty much anything, really). Anyway, I want to have a list like this: (a) 415,668 lb (b) 440,668 lb (c) 517,000 lb (d) 542,000 lb How do I get these parentheses with my itemization symbol? THANKS!

The logic in that approach is obvious. Thanks Aditya. But then, what is "stopper"? What's it for? What happens if you just leave it out? -----Original Message----- From: ntg-context [mailto:ntg-context-bounces@ntg.nl] On Behalf Of Aditya Mahajan Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2020 10:15 PM To: mailing list for ConTeXt users Subject: Re: [NTG-context] use parentheses in itemize On Wed, 3 Jun 2020, Tomas Hala wrote:
Hi Mike,

For symmetry, I prefer \setupitemize[left=(, right=), stopper=] Aditya ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________

When you leave it out, it's simply not used. In broad general terms, ConTeXt is set up to allow you to just ignore any features you don't need. Stopper is for when you want (1.) (2.) or (1:) (2:) or any other thing that suits you, to be placed after each number. "Nothing" is certainly one of the legitimate and common choices for this purpose, and Aditya took the step of actually defining it as "nothing" by typing "stopper=". (After the equals sign comes... you guessed it.) :) Doing such a "define it to be nothing" step would be especially helpful/important if you DID have it defined as something for a different part of your document, and then wanted to change styles part way through. -- David
Thanks David!
I also realized (with some help! Thanks John!) that I was completely overlooking the answers to my original question, as well as "what is stopper?" on the wiki.
