Skrinking distance between bullet and text in itemize
I’d like to have the bullet appear closer to the text being itemized inside a \startitemize. I changed the symbol being used to a \cdot and now the text appears to far away from the bullet itself. Is there a way to fix this? I figured that altering distance, width, and/or factor would have some effect, but albeit it remains unchanged. The bullet also appears inmargin, if that’s important.

Try something like \startitemize[1 (or whatever symbol you want), 2*serried] Vary the number before serried for different distances. Steve

I tried that, but the problem is that when one uses inmargin, this doesn’t seem to work. It seems that the interplay between width and distance isn’t working as I would expect.

If it's in the margin, then you want to vary the margindistance. Of course, that'll interact with other items you might have in the margin. I'm not seeing another way to do it, at the moment. \setuplayout[margindistance=.5em] \showframe \startitemize[inmargin] \item test \item test \item test \stopitemize -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Ah, OK. That’s a bit harsh. I’ve tried to figure out a way to simply shift the item leftwards manually, but I haven’t been successful.
