nested itemize in margin

nested itemize in margin

[John Kitzmiller]

To enumerate answer blanks in the right margin to match the question, thanks to Marco:

\define\ansblank{\inright{\getnumber[itemgroup:itemize]. \thinrules[n=1]}}
\setupitemgroup [itemize] [n,style=bold,right=\ansblank]

I am trying to augment this to handle nested itemizations so that the \getnumber in the right margin is from the parent itemize but the "\getletter" is from the child:

\starttext
\startitemize[n]
\item First
\item Second               
  \startitemize[a]
    \item Related problem   % Would like this to show 2 a. before the marginrule
    \item Related question  % Would like this to show 2 b. before the marginrule
  \stopitemize
\item Third
\stopitemize
\stoptext

Desired output:

1. First                  1. _________

2. Second
    a. Related problem    2a. ________
    b. Related question   2b. ________

3. Third                  3. _________


My attempts have been to define a new "blank" and use [conversion=Character] along with stabs from cont-eni.pdf, but I am flailing and failing.

Thanks for any help,
John

\defineconversionset[myitemize][n,a][n]

\define\ansblank
  {\inright
     {\simplealignedbox{3em}{flushright}{\convertedcounter[itemgroup:itemize][numberconversionset=myitemize].}
      \thinrules[n=1]}}
