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

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 ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
