Dear context users: I have troubles using \setupitemgroup. I tried to use it based on the contextgarden wiki page (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupitemgroup), description, but either my understanding how to use it is not correct or the command doesn't behave as described on the wiki page. In the following example I want the items to be in a numbered, packed list, where the item numbers are followed by ), like 1) 2) etc. If I don't add stopper=) option, I get a numbered list, but it's not packed. If I add stopper=), the list becomes an unnumbered list, but packed. I use context standalone ConTeXt ver: 2016.09.24 12:40 MKIV beta. I attach the resulted pdfs. What do I do wrong? Thanks, bcsikos example code: \definefontfamily[docu][rm][Tex Gyre Heros] % I want to use ss fonts only \setupbodyfont[docu,12pt] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \setupitemgroup[itemize][each][packed,joinedup][n] % or use this: %\setupitemgroup[itemize][each][packed,joinedup][n,stopper=)] \starttext \startalignment[middle] {\tfa PINK FLOYD} {\tfa The Wall} \stopalignment \blank {\bf Compact Disc 1} \startitemize \item In The Flesh? 3:19 \item The Thin Ice 2:29 \item Another Brick In The Wall (Part 1) 3:09 \item The Happiest Days Of Our Lives 1:50 \item Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2) 3:59 \item Mother 5:33 \item Goodbye Blue Sky 2:47 \item Empty Spaces 2:08 \item Young Lust 3:31 \item One Of My Turns 3:36 \item Don't Leave Me Now 4:16 \item Another Brick In The Wall (Part 3) 1:14 \item Goodbye Cruel World 1:15 \stopitemize \blank {\bf Compact Disc 2} \startitemize \item Hey You 4:41 \item Is There Anybody Out There? 2:40 \item Nobody Home 3:24 \item Vera 1:33 \item Bring The Boys Back Home 1:27 \item Comfortably Numb 6:21 \item The Show Must Go On 1:36 \item In The Flesh 4:16 \item Run Like Hell 4:23 \item Waiting For The Worms 3:58 \item Stop 0:30 \item The Trial 5:19 \item Outside The Wall 1:43 \stopitemize \stoptext

example code:
Most importantly: do not mix keywords and assignments. There are dozens of messages on the list with your exact problem; maybe we need some sort of very explicit, scary warning on the wiki. So \setupitemgroup[itemize][each][packed,joinedup][n,stopper=)] should be \setupitemgroup[itemize][each][packed,joinedup,n][stopper=)] Then a couple of smaller things: bonus points for providing an example, but please remove stuff that has nothing to do with your question. For your private names, use uppercase or mixed-case so you don't clash with system macros, so please do not define an itemgroup "itemize," but "Itemize," or better still give it a more expressive name. And lastly: I couldn't test with the old standalone you use. Hope that helps. Thomas

Dear Thomas: Thank you very much for your fast response.
Most importantly: do not mix keywords and assignments. There are dozens of messages on the list with your exact problem; maybe we need some sort of very explicit, scary warning on the wiki. So
\setupitemgroup[itemize][each][packed,joinedup][n,stopper=)]
should be
\setupitemgroup[itemize][each][packed,joinedup,n][stopper=)]
Thanks, I see. Unfortunately the wiki page doesn't mention n among the keywords, and there is one n on the list of the assignments (without mentioning its function). This might have caused me mixing it up.
Then a couple of smaller things: bonus points for providing an example, but please remove stuff that has nothing to do with your question. For your private names, use uppercase or mixed-case so you don't clash with system macros, so please do not define an itemgroup "itemize," but "Itemize," or better still give it a more expressive name.
I haven't intended to define my own itemize command. I wanted to change the default settings of \startitemize. Is this not the proper way to redefine \startitemize default options? (I wanted to use \setupitemize but the wiki site directs to \setupitemgroup page.) The wiki page says that "\setupitemgroup[.1.][.2.][.3.][.4.] 1: name of the itemgroup to change (e.g. itemize for \startitemize)". And if I wanted to setup my own itemize command, should not I define it first using \defineitemgroup?
And lastly: I couldn't test with the old standalone you use.
Hope that helps.
Yes, practically you solved my problem. Thanks again, bcsikos

Ah, I see, I misunderstood your intention. If all you want to do is setup the default itemize, you can simply have \setupitemize[each][packed,joinedup,n][stopper=!] This is explained on the setupitemgroup page: "\setupitemgroup[.1.][.2.][.3.][.4.] 1: name of the itemgroup to change (e.g. itemize for \startitemize). You get the same effect when using \setupitemize[.2.][.3.][.4.]" Thomas
