nesting \startitemize

nesting \startitemize

[frantisek holop]

hi there,

context, just as latex can nest \startitemize,
the context manual says max level 4.

by default context uses the symbols for these 4 levels

o  level 1: bullet
   --  level 2: dash
       *  level 3: asterisk
          >  level 4: triangle

it is very easy to change these per the manual.
but how can i make \startitemize use ordered lists by default?
this is sometimes more useful for scientific works...

e.g. latex by default does:

1. arabic numerals
   (a)  letters
      i.  roman numerals
          o  bullet

(ok, the 4th one isn't very logical in latex either...)





and another question, how can make \startitemize[a]
do "(a)" instead of "a." ?

\setupitemize[1][n]
\setupitemize[2][a][left=(,right=),stopper=]
\setupitemize[3][i]
\setupitemize[4][1] % symbol nr. 1

ok, i would like to create 2 types of itemizations like in latex.
\begin{enumarate} vs \begin{itemize}  (or in html <ol> vs <ul>)

\begin{itemize} is basically \startitemize

how would i go about defining \startenumarate ?
i thought of something like this, but it's not working:



\startsetups enum
  \setupitemize[1][n]
  \setupitemize[2][a][left=(,right=),stopper=]
  \setupitemize[3][i]
  \setupitemize[4][1] % symbol nr. 1
\stopsetups

\definestartstop[enum][command=\setups{enum}]

\starttext

\startenum
\item test

\stopenum

\stoptext



1. it doesnt work if there's no blank line between \item and \stopenum
i seem to recall something about a needed \par because of internal
workings.

2. it doesnt work, the setupitemize's are either not picked up
or are being overrided.
