custom itemize bullet

custom itemize bullet

I've added a custom font and defined symbols from it:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\loadmapfile[texnansi-glambats.map]
\definefontsynonym
[GlamoconRetrobats][texnansi-glambats][encoding=texnansi]
\def\GlamoconRetrobatsSym#1{\getglyph{GlamoconRetrobats}{\char#1}}
\startsymbolset[Glamocon Retrobats]
\definesymbol[GuruBullet][\GlamoconRetrobatsSym{121}]
% other symbols
\stopsymbolset
\starttext
\symbol[Glamocon Retrobats][GuruBullet] 
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

This produces the right symbol. But I can't figure out how to use that
bullet in an itemized list. I don't think I can use \usesymbols because
in some lists I want the regular bullet, and in others I want the custom
bullet. Any tips would be appreciated.

see symb-mis.tex 

\definesymbol [1] [{\symbol[bullet]}]
\definesymbol [2] [{\symbol[dash]}]
...

so 

\definesymbol[1]{{\symbol[Glamocon Retrobats][GuruBullet]}}

\definesymbol[xx]{{\symbol[Glamocon Retrobats][GuruBullet]}}

etc

For the benefit of anyone reading the archives, the solution requires a
\bgroup \egroup pair.

\starttext
%% Using custom bullet
\bgroup
\definesymbol[1][{$\diamond$}]
\startitemize[packed]
\item foo
\item bar
\item baz
\stopitemize
\egroup
%% Using normal bullet
\startitemize[packed]
\item foo
\item bar
\item baz
\stopitemize
\starttext

Alternatively, if you choose an as-of-yet unknown name for the symbol,
then you need to explicitly use it, but no harm is done to the 'normal'
environment:

   \definesymbol[mysymbol][{$\diamond$}]
   \startitemize[mysymbol,packed]
   \item foo
   \item bar
   \item baz
   \stopitemize

Cheers, Taco

/me slaps forehead

Of course. I was trying \startitemize[symbol=mysymbol] and getting
nowhere.

right, best choose such a verbose name otherwise you get a clash with potential keys (taco and i have such a hard wired list of context keys built in our heads -)

it depends,

\definesymbol[11][{$\diamond$}]

\startitemize[11,packed]


does not need grouping; alternatively one can define a new itemgroup 
with its own symbols
