Hi all. I'm writing a Multiple Choice test set in two-columns. I would like to keep the multiple-choice items together with the question both on the same page AND on the same column.
Question 1 Question 3
choice 1 choice 1
choice 2 choice 2
choice 3 choice 3
Question 2 Question 4
choice 1 choice 1
choice 2 choice 2
choice 3 choice 3
(Apologies, it's easier to draw than describe).
So I don't want the multiple choices breaking to another page or going to another column. How can I achieve this?
I tried setting the "intro" flag of itemize but it doesn't work.
Here's what I did:
\item[columns]
...
\item Question
\startitemize[intro]
\item choice
\item choice
...
\stopitemize
...
\stopitemize
but the multiple-choice items would still break across pages and columns

So does anyone know how to do this? I'm sure it's possible -- I did it in TeX once but I can't find the ConTeXt equivalent in the docs...
