itemize: italic items

itemize: italic items

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hi,

how do I change the 1 and 2 to italic?

\starttext
\setupitemize[1][packed,inmargin]
\startitemize[n][stopper=]
Text Text Text
\item one
\item two
\stopitemize
Text Text Text
\stoptext

Viele Grüße,

Well, how about the following trick:

   \defineconversion [patrick] [\it\numbers]

the last commands gets the argument so this goes ok with:

   \startitemize [patrick]
     \item  interesting
     \item  feature
   \stopitemize

Actually, you can do nice tricks with conversions and symbols.

i am - once again - amazed by the abilities of ConTeXt. It would be 
sooooooooo nice if we had this in the manual (cont-en{p,i}). 
The only thing I can find there is:

(page 229 cont-eni.pdf)

[...]

The symbols used under 1 to 8 can be defined with the command \definesymbol 
(see secion ??) and the conversion of the numbering with \defineconversion 
(see section ??). 

[...]

Ok, it is time for some sports now!

How about this one:

\defineconversion[patrick][p,a,t,r,i,c,k]

\starttext

\startitemize[patrick]
\item how \item about \item this \item trick \item with
\item symbol \item sets
\stopitemize

\stoptext

Hans, and what about inline itemization, (1) like (2) this (3)~one?

And what about \defineitemize, \setupitemize and the like, to
create custom reusable multilevel itemization sets without having
to retype the specs each time?

:-)

i know and it's in the todo list [just spoiled a day on tracing down a 
tricky sync problem between layers and backgrounds]

Well, since you have a reasonable new version, you can pop this code 
(cont-new.tex)

\def\fulltabulatecontent
   {\ifx\tabulateheadcontent\empty\else
      \TABLEnoalign{\global\settrue\tabulatesomeamble}%
      \tabulateheadcontent
      \TABLEnoalign{\global\setfalse\tabulatesomeamble}%
    \fi
    \tabulatecontent
    \ifx\tabulatetailcontent\empty\else
      \TABLEnoalign{\global\settrue\tabulatesomeamble}%
      \tabulatetailcontent
    \fi}

\def\checkfulltabulatecontent
   {\doifdefinedelse{\??tt\currenttabulate\v!hoofd}
      {\@EA\let\@EA\tabulateheadcontent
         \csname\??tt\currenttabulate\v!hoofd\endcsname}
      {\let\tabulateheadcontent\empty}%
    \doifdefinedelse{\??tt\currenttabulate\v!voet}
      {\@EA\let\@EA\tabulatetailcontent
         \csname\??tt\currenttabulate\v!voet\endcsname}
      {\let\tabulatetailcontent\empty}}

Well, I suspect this is not enough ... I expected the header to be
repeated at the beginning of each part of the tabulate, when it
split across pages, but it is not so (it only appears in first
page). Also, I thought I could use

\starttabulatehead[test]
\NC My tabulate head \NC is like this \NC \NR
\stoptabulatehead

\starttabulate[|l|l|][header=test]

but this doesn't work. How do you select the head to use? And:
isn't there a name inconsistency (head/header)?

Also, maybe we should distinguish between head(er)/tail and "continuation
head/tail", and provide a way to define the latter (extremely
helpful when writing *long* tabulates, to allow the replication of
the head row!).
