Re: Questions on enumeration and itemize

["W. Egger" <w.egger@boede.nl>]

Hi Christophe

I was dealing with this issue some time ago. There are a lot of partially
new possibilities within the itemization environment. You might have a look
into core-itm.tex

Here tow examples as I used them:

\setupitemize[2][atmargin][headstyle=\it,marstyle=\it,symstyle=\it,indentnex
t=no]

\setupitemize[3][4*broad][distance= 2cm, width=2cm,before={\blank[small]}]

The first [ ] indicate the level on which the settings are used.

I hop this will help you setup your environment.
