Skrinking distance between bullet and text in itemize

Skrinking distance between bullet and text in itemize

[Nikolai Weibull]

I’d like to have the bullet appear closer to the text being itemized
inside a \startitemize.  I changed the symbol being used to a \cdot and
now the text appears to far away from the bullet itself.  Is there a way
to fix this?  I figured that altering distance, width, and/or factor
would have some effect, but albeit it remains unchanged.  The bullet
also appears inmargin, if that’s important.

Thanks,
        nikolai

Try something like

\startitemize[1 (or whatever symbol you want), 2*serried]

Vary the number before serried for different distances.

I tried that, but the problem is that when one uses inmargin, this
doesn’t seem to work.  It seems that the interplay between width and
distance isn’t working as I would expect.  Anyway, thanks,

If it's in the margin, then you want to vary the margindistance. Of
course, that'll interact with other items you might have in the margin.
I'm not seeing another way to do it, at the moment.

\setuplayout[margindistance=.5em]
\showframe
\startitemize[inmargin] 
\item test \item test \item test
\stopitemize

Ah, OK.  That’s a bit harsh.  I’ve tried to figure out a way to simply
shift the item leftwards manually, but I haven’t been successful.

Thanks for the information, though,
