Hello,
following up to a recent post on comp.text.tex I'd like to bring forth an enhancement request for itemgroups: in the current implementation it is not possible to set up itemgroups to use the non key=value pairs settings. IOW, one cannot say
\defineitemgroup[myitems] \setupmyitems[each][A]
and have the items come up numbered with capital letters. Some keywords (like: joinedup) work, some others (the numbering type ones, for example, or "columns") don't work. For what I can see by looking at the code, this depends on these settings being looked for *not* when setting up the itemizations, but in the actual moment when the \start<itemgroup> is issued (this is for example the case for "columns").
Enhancement request: allow all keywords to work. I think the most straightforward way to implement this is to simply store the keywords and put them as default values when \start<itemgroup> is called (this would even, I suspect, simplify the handling of the itemgroup setups ...)
\defineitemgroup[test] \setupitemgroup[test][headstyle=slanted] \setupitemgroup[test][2][packed] % \setupitemgroup[test][each][packed] \starttest \head test \par test \item test \starttest \item test \item test \stoptest \item test \stoptest so, it's there already; in principle the following should work: \setupitemgroup[test][levellist][keyvals] \setupitemgroup[test][levellist][keys] \setupitemgroup[test][levellist][keyvals][keys] \setupitemgroup[test][keyvals] \setupitemgroup[test][keys] \setupitemgroup[test][keyvals][keys] Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
