Indentation as in itemize
When you use itemize text is neatly put under each-other. I have the folowing in a macro: \bTR \RowWorkTable{}{\bullet\space #1} \eTR When text is overflowing to the following line, the text starts under the bullet. I would like it to start under the character after the space, just like in itemize. How would I do this? As a hack I now use: \bTR \RowWorkTable{}{\startitemize \item #1 \stopitemize} \eTR This does what I want, but I do not find it very pretty. (I have also the feeling that it makes the compilation time longer.) -- Cecil Westerhof

You can use descriptions with “location=left”.

It’s slower but you won’t notice a difference of a few microseconds. Wolfgang

I tried that, but it did not work. I think I'll stay with the 'ugly' solution. It is only in the macro itself. So I live with it. (For the moment being.)

Sometimes ConTeXt takes a lot longer to compile. (Two to three times. Do not ask me why.) It looks like this happened when I made the change. So I will not bother about it. -- Cecil Westerhof

You can also make an extra column only for the bullet.

Itemize writes the number of entries of each environment to the auxilary file and when there is a change in this file you get two or three runs. Wolfgang

Will not work in my case. Sometimes there is placed something without a bullet. I could then merge the two columns, but that would even be more ugly as the current solution.

Aaah, that explains it. Thanks. -- Cecil Westerhof

I thought you hide the table code in your own commands, when this is the case you can make different commands for entries with and without bullets where the second place a empty column and the first a bullet in the extra column. Wolfgang
