Re: Change whitespace before item?

[Uriel Avalos <uriavalos@yahoo.com>]

Like I said, I tried "margin" and it does NOT work. "Margin" has no 
effect on sub-lists.

\startitemize[n]
\item top level
  \startitemize[a,margin=5cm]
  \item sub item 1
  \item sub item 2
  \stopitemize
\stopitemize

"margin" does NOT affect the sublist at all. 

Oh I apologize if you took the rant personally. (At least it got your 
attention!) However, I was trying to point out that with a plethora of 
other options (scribus, latex, etc) combined with a lack of help, will 
just send new users packing. Eventually, you'll just be left with 
veteran users.  

I'm really trying to make this work for me though -- it's just that the 
incomplete docs and lack of mailing list help is making this a very 
frustrating journey :(
