Frame around table

Frame around table

[WN]

Hi,

I am trying to frame a horizontal itemized list like

\framed[frame=on,height=2.1cm,width=16.4cm]{%
\startitemize[8,columns,four]
\item alleenstaand \item samenwonend/getrouwd \item eenoudergezin \item 
kinderen/leeftijd
\stopitemize
}

but the list does not come out right.
Should I be using overlays here ? I know the overlay basics a little 
bit, but I don't
know how to setup a background for itemized lists.

Thanks for your help.
Wim

this is tricky with frames since column soperatr in the mvl (main vertical list) and framed is a box; one can apply the new streams module 

\usemodule[streams]

\definestreamlayer[whatever][width=12cm]

\starttext

\startstreamlayer[whatever]
  \startitemize[columns,two][after=]
    \item one
    \item two
    \item three
    \item four
  \stopitemize
\stopstreamlayer

\framed[strut=no,align=normal]{\placestreamlayer[whatever]\obeydepth}

\ifx\starttextstreamlayer\undefined \else

    \starttextstreamlayer[whatever]
      \startitemize[columns,two]
        \item one
        \item two
        \item three
        \item four
      \stopitemize
    \stoptextstreamlayer

    \framed[strut=no]{\placetextstreamlayer[whatever]}

\fi

\stoptext

the starttextstreamlayer macro is new -)
