there is also an associated test:  

\def\domymacro[#1]%
  {\iffirstargument
      No argument
   \else
      Berends optional #1 argument
   \fi}

Thanks. BTW, do you know if ConTeXt has either a
built-in way or at least a not too klunky way of doing
an outline like:

1.0 Foo
    1.1 Foobar
    1.2 Foobaz
2.0 Misc
    2.1 Miscellaneous
    2.2 Miscreant
        2.2.1 Fancy term for criminal
        2.2.2 Sounds funny

So far, the only way I can think of to do it is to
define an elaborate macro to put in the argument to
startitemize/stopitemize's "\sym" (which is why I
asked how to do an optional argument).

Is this an automatically generated list (toc) or a manually composed one
(in which case enumerations can handle it) ?

It's manual. How would enumerations be able to handle
it? They can do the numbering, I know (at least four
levels deep) but what about the indenting?

The above worked rather well. About the only thing
missing is the ".0" after the first level outline
entry. I tried the following:

\setupenumerations[LikeThis]
[width=2em,stopper=.0]
\setupenumerations[subLikeThis]
[width=3em,margin=2em,stopper=]
\setupenumerations[subsubLikeThis]
[width=4em,margin=5em,stopper=]

but the stopper ended up being ".0" after all the
numbers. The "stopper=" line entry for subLikeThis and
subsubLikeThis was apparently ignored. (Actually, I
have the same problem with "headstyle")

Ok, i'll patch it. For the moment use: right= (if this fails i'll send you
a new file)

Clean way of doing certain kind of outline?

[James Ramsey]

I am being asked to do an outline with numbering that
looks like the following:

1.0 Foo
    1.1 Foobar
    1.2 Foobaz
2.0 Misc
    2.1 Miscellaneous
    2.2 Miscreant
        2.2.1 Fancy term for criminal
        2.2.2 Sounds funny

This looks like it might be a job for some kind of
enumeration or something, but I was wondering what
would be most appropriate. The numbers in the outline
should be cross-referenceable.
