One posibility is: \startitemize \sym{1} This is the first line \nop This is the second line %% and so fourth \stopitmeize That allows you to control the space between the number and the actual line. In addition, ConTeXt should (?) do a good job making sure a single line doesn't become an orphan or widow. The only drawback is that you cannot use hanging indents for long lines: This is the forest premiva. The mummuring pines and the hemlocks \startitemize \sym{1} This is the forest premiva. The mummuring pines and \nop \hskip12pt the hemlocs %% and so fourth \stopitmeize Paul -- ************************ *Paul Tremblay * *phthenry@iglou.com * ************************
