Nested itemize (spaces before and after inside environment)

Nested itemize (spaces before and after inside environment)

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

Hello ConTeXist.

I tried convert plainTeX source code into ConTeXt  source code so that 
the output PDF gave the same (or approximately the same) result. I did 
it for one of plainTEX developers (Mr. Olšák), which compared results of 
PlainTeX, LaTeX and ConTeXt. However, I encountered the following problem.

Is there a way to adjust the spacing before internal itemize environment 
when the external itemize environment is set as PACKED?

Thanx JaroslavHajtmar

Here is my minimal example:


\setupitemize[1][packed][symbol=n,before={\blank[medium]},after={\blank[medium]}]
\setupitemize[2][packed][symbol=a,stopper=),before={\blank[big]},after={\blank[big]}]

\starttext

This is normal text before itemize list.

\startitemize
\item First 1 level
\item Second 1 level
   \startitemize
   \item First 2 level (before this line should be big space)
   \item Second 2 level
   \item Third  2 level (after this line should be big space)
   \stopitemize
\item Third 1 level
\item Fourth 1 level
\stopitemize

This is normal text after itemize list.


\stoptext

Hi Jarda and all,

I tested it on my computer using CTX from TL 2010 and 2013 and I have got
the same result in both cases. It seems that the content of the option before 
is completely ignored. I tested another values for this option
(\page,\vskip,\godown...), no result.

The only one way which works is the manual addition of \blank before and
after the nested itemize environment, unfortunatelly.

---

Another interesting thing is that the compiler of CTX in TL 2013 does not
report an error when I forgot the opening \starttext, or the closing
\stoptext, or both, whereas in TL 2010 it does. Is this expected behaviour?

Best regards,

Tomas Hala

Thanx Tomas.

Of course I know about the possibility of solving the problem by 
directly entering a space before internal environment. However, I prefer 
setting off the source text, so I wonder how it can be solved.
