* What is the proper way to define many different list types in a document?

Though I tried to keep things simple, by just defining the type when it appears, strange glitches appear. For instance, I have one that uses the ☞ (pointing hand) logo, and sometimes that randomly appears in the wrong lists, for reasons I cannot understand. Below is how I'm defining my lists. I have about a dozen more, this is a sample. Is there some more robust and consistent manner in which I should be defining them, so the settings from one type don't spill over into the other types? --Joel %prompt \definesymbol[bighand][{{☞}}] \define[1]\prompt{% \setupitemize[symbol=bighand] \startitemize {\it #1} \stopitemize }% \prompt{What did you learn about today?} %vocabulary \startcolumns[n=3]\startitemize[n] \item word1 \item word2 \item word3 \stopitemize\stopcolumns %nested outline \startitemize[1] \item some text \startitemize[2] \item some text \startitemize[3] \item some text \stopitemize \stopitemize \stopitemize %written answer (produces some lines after the question for writing an answer) \define[1]\writingbox{% \dorecurse{#1}{% \hairline% } } \startitemize[n] \item Which planet is closest to Earth? \writingbox{4} \item What is the moon made of? \writingbox{4} \stopitemize %materials list \startcolumns[n=3]\startitemize \item crayons \item scissors \item glue \stopitemize\stopcolumns %word search clues (should be simple, but strangely this keeps getting the ☞ logo added instead of showing numbers) \startitemize[n] \item a type of hat worn \item a cold season \stopitemize [-- Attachment #1.2: Type: text/html, Size: 2510 bytes --] [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 493 bytes --] ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

So, once this macro is used, symbol=bighand for all itemize. What you can use instead is: \define[1]\prompt{% \startitemize[symbol=bighand] {\it #1} \stopitemize }% or even better: \defineitemgroup[prompt][symbol=bighand,style=italic] ... \startprompt \item \stopprompt > %written answer (produces some lines after the question for writing an answer) > > \define[1]\writingbox{% > \dorecurse{#1}{% > \hairline% > } > } There is also: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/fillinrules Aditya [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 493 bytes --] ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
