Hi all,
I must be getting old :(
It used to be that I could get ConTeXt to do what I wanted, but that is increasingly getting harder.
Current problem: I would like to have itemizations that behave like in this dummy ascii formatting:
* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec dapibus turpis et nulla venenatis tincidunt. Curabitur sit amet vehicula nisi, sit amet
and so far it has been impossible for me to set up \setupitemize to do what I want.
In descriptive text, what I want is:
1. some global indentation to the left and/or right. That is what the margin= key does 2. the symbol (or number) typeset in a specific width. That is the width= key 3. some distance between the number box and the following text. That is the distance= key 4. on line 2 and forward to the end of the item, I want a *different* indentation from the first item line.
In this particular case, I want no extra indentation except for ‘margin’, but in other cases I may like either more or less indentation than on line 1 of the first para of the item.
The desired effect is simple achieve with primitive operations, but I would like the input to look nice (not to mention that I do not want to loose options for cross-referencing etc).
\setupitemize[option=intext]
is nearly right for this case (with indentation equal to the left margin), so I assumed I would be able to tweak that. But the problem there is that while it does 2-4, it ignores the extra indentation required for nested itemizations (it even ignores explicit margin= settings for the nested level). After fighting with this for hours, I am nearly ready to give up.
Anybody have any idea how to get itemizations to do what I want?
MWE attached.
Best wishes, Taco PS It seems that “indentnext=no” does not work for nested itemizations?
You can use the "text" option and add \par at the end of each item but your requirements (hanging text, different margin and before/after ssettings) are easier to solve with a description or enumeration. \definesymbol [taco] [{\inframed[frame=off,width=2em,align=flushleft]{\textbullet}}] \starttext \samplefile{zapf} \startitemize[text][symbol=taco] \item \samplefile{weisman}\par \startitemize \item \samplefile{ward}\par \stopitemize \stopitemize \stoptext Wolfgang
