Hi, this is just a small suggestion for the interface: since a while, we've had \startitem \stopitem. Would it be possible / feasible / interesting to add a bit of configuration to it? I tried looking at the source. but couldn't find anything. This minimal example explains what I mean: \starttext \startitemize \item One \item Two \sym{$\Rightarrow$} Three \stopitemize \startitemize \startitem One \stopitem \startitem Two \stopitem \startitem[sym=$\Rightarrow$] Three \stopitem \stopitemize \stoptext How to achieve the result of #1 with the syntax in #2? Thanks and best wishes Thomas

You have the change the definition for \startitem but I would go for a bigger change which includes also \head, \txt etc. To do this one could write \startitem[alternative=head,text=…] one could use it as synonym for \starthead or with \startitem[alternative=symbol,text=…] as alternative for \sym. Since references are lost with this method you can write “reference=…” in the argument. Wolfgang

Currently I'm a bit careful with changes as I'm using a 'copy' of context mkiv that has been adapted to a potential upcoming Lua related speedup that Luigi and I are working on. We will present most of that at the context conference (among other things).
