[newbie]: nested enumerations

[Niels Aan de Brugh]

Hi all,

I have a little problem with nested enumerations. My ConTeXt code 
looks like this:

guild \crlf {\it(n.)}
\startopsomming[n, ruim, opelkaar]
\som \startopsomming[a, opelkaar, aansluitend]
	 \som An association of persons of the same trade or pursuits,
		  formed to protect mutual interests and maintain standards.
	 \som A similar association, as of merchants or artisans,
		  in medieval times. 
	 \stopopsomming
\som Ecology. One of four groups of plants, the lianas, epiphytes, 
	 saprophytes, and parasites, having a characteristic mode of
	 existence that involves some dependence on other plant life. 
\stopopsomming

When I typeset this code it looks like this:
1.
    a. An association ...
    b. A similar ...
2.  Ecology ...

As you may have guessed I'd like to have something like this:

1.  a. An association ...
    b. A similar ...
2.  Ecology ...

I tried something with \vbox and \vtop, but this causes some overful 
boxes, and I don't want to add \crlf's manually to correct that.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this problem? Maybe I 
overlooked something. Thanks in advance.

Niels

You can try to use \doornummeren 

The next itemize based hack is ugly; but a quick better solution is hard; i
will look into it. 

\def\hangsom{\som\vskip-\openlineheight\nobreak}

\startopsomming[n,opelkaar]
\hangsom \startopsomming[a]
         \som oeps
         \som oeps
         \som oeps
         \stopopsomming
\hangsom \startopsomming[a]
         \som oeps
         \som oeps
         \som oeps
         \stopopsomming
\stopopsomming
