Itemization formatting

Itemization formatting

[Taco Hoekwater]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1877 bytes --]

Hi all,

I must be getting old :( 

It used to be that I could get ConTeXt to do what I wanted, but that is increasingly getting harder.

Current problem: I would like to have itemizations that behave like in this dummy
ascii formatting:

  *   Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec dapibus turpis et 
  nulla venenatis tincidunt. Curabitur sit amet vehicula nisi, sit amet

and so far it has been impossible for me to set up \setupitemize to do what I want.

In descriptive text, what I want is:

1. some global indentation to the left and/or right. That is what the margin= key does
2. the symbol (or number) typeset in a specific width. That is the width= key
3. some distance between the number box and the following text. That is the distance= key
4. on line 2 and forward to the end of the item, I want a *different* indentation from the first item line. 

In this particular case, I want no extra indentation except for ‘margin’, but in other
cases I may like either more or less indentation than on line 1 of the first para of the item.

The desired effect is simple achieve with primitive operations, but I would like the input
to look nice (not to mention that I do not want to loose options for cross-referencing etc).

  \setupitemize[option=intext]

is nearly right for this case (with indentation equal to the left margin), so I assumed I would 
be able to tweak that. But the problem there is that while it does 2-4, it ignores the extra 
indentation required for nested itemizations (it even ignores explicit margin= settings for the
nested level). After fighting with this for hours, I am nearly ready to give up.

Anybody have any idea how to get itemizations to do what I want?

MWE attached.

Best wishes,
Taco
PS It seems that “indentnext=no” does not work for nested itemizations?

Hi again,

Another question on nearly the same subject: how can I get nested itemizations
to listen to the before= and after= keys? AFAICT, they always use the inbetween=
instead of above= and below= keys?

Best wishes as always,
Taco

ConTeXt supports before/after values for the inner itemizations but they 
are hidden by a conditional and there is no official way to change it 
(e.g. \setupitemize[spacing=local|global] or \setupitemize[method=1|2|3]).

Hi Wolfgang,

So the answer is no right now, then? In that case, I would like to log a formal
feature request ;)

so a nested margin would be enough?

Re: Itemization formatting

Hi Taco,

probably, there is missing one pair of []:

\setupitemize[1][][margin=1cm]
\setupitemize[2][][margin=2cm]

I tried it with TL2018 and I guess it works.

Best wishes,

Tomáš

Re: Itemization formatting

[Taco Hoekwater]

Hi,

Not here. The extra empty brackets seem to ‘destroy’ the option=intext 
setting, and I am left with a para going like this:

• Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec dapibus turpis 
  et nulla venenatis tincidunt. Curabitur sit amet vehicula nisi, sit amet

instead of 

• Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec dapibus turpis 
et nulla venenatis tincidunt. Curabitur sit amet vehicula nisi, sit amet

(extra empty brackets rarely are without side-effects)

Best wishes,
Taco

You're right... And this?

\setupitemize[1][option=intext][margin=1cm]
\setupitemize[2][option=intext][margin=2cm]

Sorry, no go, intext is back, but the nested margin setting is ignored.
I also tested with

\setupitemize[1][intext][margin=1cm]
\setupitemize[2][intext][margin=2cm]

and 

\setupitemize[1][option=intext,margin=1cm]
\setupitemize[2][option=intext,margin=2cm]

ConText always uses the outermost margin setting only.

Best wishes,
Taco

Re: Itemization formatting

Hi Taco,

\start

     \definesymbol[mystar][\llap{\symbol{star}\hskip10mm}]

     \setupitemgroup[itemize][intext,mystar]
     \setupitemgroup[itemize][leftmargin=15mm,rightmargin=5mm]
     \setupitemgroup[itemize][width=2cm,distance=-25mm]

     \startitemize
         \startitem
             \dorecurse{3}{Taco likes an occasional hack! }
         \stopitem
     \stopitemize

\stop

\start

     \definesymbol[mystar][\rlap{\hskip10mm\symbol{star}}]

     \setupitemgroup[itemize][intext,mystar]
     \setupitemgroup[itemize][leftmargin=15mm,rightmargin=5mm]
     \setupitemgroup[itemize][width=1cm,distance=5mm]

     \startitemize
         \startitem
             \dorecurse{3}{Taco likes an occasional hack! }
         \stopitem
     \stopitemize

\stop


But what you're actually asking is something hangindent yes?

You can use the "text" option and add \par at the end of each item but 
your requirements (hanging text, different margin and before/after 
ssettings) are easier to solve with a description or enumeration.

\definesymbol
   [taco]
   [{\inframed[frame=off,width=2em,align=flushleft]{\textbullet}}]

\starttext

\samplefile{zapf}

\startitemize[text][symbol=taco]
   \item \samplefile{weisman}\par
   \startitemize
     \item \samplefile{ward}\par
   \stopitemize
\stopitemize

\stoptext

Wolfgang
