Dear all,
how do I decrease the horizontal whitespace between the symbol and the text
in an item[ize] list?
The manual suggests this:
\startitemize[1*serried]
\item Test
\stopitemize
It's not working, I get the same distance as with no option at all
. Test
But I wanted
. Test
In fact, the option <<n>>*serried does not have any effect, whereas
<<n>>*broad is working properly.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

You can use absolute values: \startitemize[width=1em,distance=0pt]

Great! I will add that to the wiki.
From testing I assume "width" controls the width of the symbol (i.e. symbol
space, if the symbol is not very wide) and "distance" an additional distance
from the symbol's right edge. So one will get the same results from these 2:
Width=0pt,distance=1em
Width=1em,distance=0pt

Yes.

Not always:
\starttext
\startitemize[n][width=2em,distance=0pt,itemalign=flushright]
\dorecurse{10}{\item text}
\stopitemize
\startitemize[n][width=0pt,distance=2em,itemalign=flushright]
\dorecurse{10}{\item text}
\stopitemize
\stoptext

\startitemize[fit,broad][distance=0.25em]

Aditya, that works, but how do you set it for all items? I tried the
following, but it didn't work:
\setupitemize[fit,broad][distance=0.25em]
