Re: Change whitespace before item?

[U Avalos <amscopub-mail@yahoo.com>]

No, actually. The documentation says to use "margins" but that 
command does not seem to work for sub-lists. Unless my notation is 
wrong, it would seem that the margin values for a sub-list are 
hardcoded. 

For example, the following code does NOT work for me:

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

"Margin" has no effect on the sublist...
