Dear All,
I’d like to use a mechanism that allows me to create an itemized list with my own labels like one can
with descriptions:
\definedescription[outline][
headstyle=bold,style=normal,alternative=hanging,margin=1cm,distance=-.8cm]
\starttext
\outline[Welcome] Tea
\outline[Introduction] Tufte or Knuth?
\outline[Snack] Chocolate Cake
\outline[Discussion] Knuth or Tufte?
\outline[Open End] Bear and wine
\stoptext
However, instead of the above I would like to
— have the result “packed”, i.e. without lines between the descriptions
— have a stopper (“:”) after the label
— have the text of the description begin after the stopper and not at a fixed indentation (distance=…)
How do I do that?
Thanks,
Matthias

The following works, but I suspect that there may be a better way to get
the packing.
\define[1]\outlinehead{#1:}
\definedescription[outline]
\setupdescription [outline]
[headstyle=bold,
style=normal,
% alternative=hanging,
width=fit,
distance=1ex,
before={\blank[back]},
headcommand=\outlinehead,
]
\starttext
\outline{Welcome} Tea
\outline{Introduction} Tufte or Knuth? and more and more and more
and more to see what hanging does.
\outline{Snack} Chocolate Cake
\outline{Discussion} Knuth or Tufte?
\outline{Open End} Bear and wine
\stoptext
Try it both with and without the hanging alternative.
And for me, beer is preferable to bear.

When you want more control about the spacing before and after the description entries the following modification can help:
\definedescription
[outline]
[style=normal,
width=fit,
distance=1ex,
before=, % before=\endgraf
after=,
headcommand=\groupedcommand{}{:}]
\definestartstop
[outlines]
[before={\blank[line]},
after={\blank[line]}]
\starttext
\input ward
\startoutlines
\outline{Welcome} Tea
\outline{Introduction} Tufte or Knuth? and more and more and more and more to see what hanging does.
\outline{Snack} Chocolate Cake
\outline{Discussion} Knuth or Tufte?
\outline{Open End} Bear and wine
\stopoutlines
\input weisman
\stoptext
Wolfgang
