margin option in itemize

margin option in itemize

[Curiouslearn]

Can someone please explain why the margin command does not work in
this example? What can I do to obtain the margin.

Thanks.

\setuppapersize[letter][letter]
\starttext

\input tufte

\startitemize
	\item This is the first item of outer list.
		\startitemize[a][stopper=)]
			\item Context is great. The more I use it the more I love it.
			\item Hope it continues to develop further.
		\stopitemize
	\item This is the second item of outer list. Margin command does not
work below.
		\startitemize[a][stopper=),margin=2in]
			\item Context is great. The more I use it the more I love it.
			\item Hope it continues to develop further.
		\stopitemize
\stopitemize

\input tufte

According to the docs 'margin' should do something, but I am not sure
what and it seems to have no effect over here. You can try if 'width'
does what you want.

Best wishes,
Taco

Re: margin option in itemize

[Curiouslearn]

I suppose you can think of 'margin=dimension' option as increasing the
margin by the specified dimension for the list. It works without any
problems for a list that is not nested within another list. However,
with nesting, as in the example I emailed, it does not work.

I tried the 'width' command but that does not do what I want. It
inserts the space between the item symbol and the item text. I want
the space before item symbol.

Thanks.

You can change the margin only on the first level.

Re: margin option in itemize

[Curiouslearn]

Thanks Wolfgang and Luigi. Luigi's solution worked well.
Unfortunately, left={hspace[normal]} did not give the desired outcome.
The item symbols were still at their original location.

I have a follow up question. Based on your solution I also tried
left=\hskip 2.10em, which works too? Is there a reason why \kern is
better than \hskip?

Thanks.
