Hi, I'd like to have all my document set flush left. I know how to set a \framed flush left, or \startalign ... \stopalign - but what about the whole? (In my current case, the document is basically a (mid-aligned) title and then one big itemgroup, so I added [align={right,broad}] to the \startitemize - but what about the general case? \raggedright did not work, at least for the itemization.)

Hi, I suspect the command you're looking for is \setupalign[right] Nick

Hi,

Nope - it didn't work. (Maybe it just does nothing for itemizations, and my document was basically one big itemization?)

OK, tested - I was right, it doesn't affect itemizations. Isn't it a bug?

Hi Marcin,
I'd like to have all my document set flush left. I know how to set a \framed flush left, or \startalign ... \stopalign - but what about the whole? (In my current case, the document is basically a (mid-aligned) title and then one big itemgroup, so I added [align={right,broad}] to the \startitemize - but what about the general case? \raggedright did not work, at least for the itemization.)
I assumed by the general case you meant text outside the itemgroup. What specifically are you trying to align? Could you please give a minimal example? Regards, Nick

Where is the minimal example? \setupalign[flushleft] \setupitemize[each][align=flushleft] \starttext \showgrid \input knuth \startitemize \startitem \input knuth \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext Wolfgang

\setupitemize[each][align=flushleft]
\starttext \showgrid
\input knuth
\startitemize \startitem \input knuth \stopitem \stopitemize
\stoptext
So do I get it correctly that \setupalign[flushleft] affects *everything but itemizations*? (If yes, my problem is more or less solved.)

Thanks a lot, Hans! (And I think this is a change for the better!) Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University
