Simple itemize format that eludes me
This should be simple, but my brain is currently clogged from reading too many ConTeXt manuals, so please help! I’m trying to make a simple format that I’ve used elsewhere. The first part of each item (a kind of \head) is not indented, but the remaining paragraph(s) of that item are. For example: LONG_UGLY_STRING_LIKE_THIS A few sentences, indented somewhat from the left margin, that relate to the long ugly string above. The indentation allows the reader to scan the ugly strings (which might well be in alphabetical order. ANOTHER_LONG_UGLY_STRING_LIKE_THIS A few sentences, indented somewhat from the left margin, that relate to the long ugly string above. The indentation allows the reader to scan the ugly strings (which might well be in alphabetical order. I just can’t persuade my understanding of ConTeXt facilities to do this for me... :-)
Hi, may be not a very nice solution but ... \startitemize[none,packed] \item LONG-UGLY-STRING-LIKE-THIS \startnarrower[left] A few sentences, indented somewhat from the left margin, that relate to the long ugly string above. The indentation allows the reader to scan the ugly strings (which might well be in alphabetical order. \stopnarrower \stopitemize Willi cormullion wrote:

Thanks - this works fine. (I think this might be the DD/DT construct in HTML that I’m trying to reproduce...) :-)
