If this is just for unnumbered lists, then the following should suffice:
%%% start example
\defineitemgroup
[pitemize]
[command=\Word]
\define\citem{%
\incrementnumber[itemgroup:pitemize]%
\sym{\symbol[\currentitemgroupsymbol]}%
\groupedcommand{}{,}%
}
\define\pitem{%
\incrementnumber[itemgroup:pitemize]%
\sym{\symbol[\currentitemgroupsymbol]}%
\groupedcommand{}{.}%
}
\starttext
\startpitemize
\citem {first item}
\citem {second item}
\citem {third item}
\pitem {fourth item}
\stoppitemize
\stoptext
%%% stop example
For numbered lists, more work is required I think. For example, you might need something like
\unprotect
\define\citem{%
\incrementnumber[itemgroup:pitemize]%
\sym{%
\itemgroupparameter\c!left%
\getnumber[itemgroup:pitemize]%
\itemgroupparameter\c!stopper%
\itemgroupparameter\c!right
}%
\groupedcommand{}{,}%
}
\define\pitem{%
\incrementnumber[itemgroup:pitemize]%
\sym{%
\itemgroupparameter\c!left%
\getnumber[itemgroup:pitemize]%
\itemgroupparameter\c!stopper%
\itemgroupparameter\c!right
}%
\groupedcommand{}{.}%
}
\protect
but this still does not provide for the various possible conversion sets and other features of \setupitemgroup. See strc-itm.mklx for hints.
