Dear All,
Is there a straightforward way of setting up the itemize command such that
every first letter is capitalized, regardless of whether I do so in the
source file?
Also, is there a way to insert a comma at the end of each item except for
the last, and then a full stop at the end of the last item like follows?
- First item,
- Second item,
- Third item,
- Last item.
Thanks in advance.
Amine

If this is just for unnumbered lists, then the following should suffice:
%%% start example
\defineitemgroup
[pitemize]
[command=\Word]
\define\citem{%
\incrementnumber[itemgroup:pitemize]%
\sym{\symbol[\currentitemgroupsymbol]}%
\groupedcommand{}{,}%
}
\define\pitem{%
\incrementnumber[itemgroup:pitemize]%
\sym{\symbol[\currentitemgroupsymbol]}%
\groupedcommand{}{.}%
}
\starttext
\startpitemize
\citem {first item}
\citem {second item}
\citem {third item}
\pitem {fourth item}
\stoppitemize
\stoptext
%%% stop example
For numbered lists, more work is required I think. For example, you might need something like
\unprotect
\define\citem{%
\incrementnumber[itemgroup:pitemize]%
\sym{%
\itemgroupparameter\c!left%
\getnumber[itemgroup:pitemize]%
\itemgroupparameter\c!stopper%
\itemgroupparameter\c!right
}%
\groupedcommand{}{,}%
}
\define\pitem{%
\incrementnumber[itemgroup:pitemize]%
\sym{%
\itemgroupparameter\c!left%
\getnumber[itemgroup:pitemize]%
\itemgroupparameter\c!stopper%
\itemgroupparameter\c!right
}%
\groupedcommand{}{.}%
}
\protect
but this still does not provide for the various possible conversion sets and other features of \setupitemgroup. See strc-itm.mklx for hints.

I revisited this today after the (frankly) subpar solution I presented yesterday. With the below example, we
• neither lose the nice features of \setupitemgroup
• nor do we need grouping of the items.
The only 'price to pay' is to use \citem (comma item) and \pitem (period item) as required.
%% start example
\def\citem{\item\AfterPar{\hspace[-normal],}\GetPar}
\def\pitem{\item\AfterPar{\hspace[-normal].}\GetPar}
\defineitemgroup
[pitemize]
[command=\Word,numberconversion=words]
\starttext
\startpitemize[n]
\citem first item
\citem second item
\citem third item
\pitem fourth item
\stoppitemize
\stoptext
%% stop example
Best,
Sreeram

cleaned up the example –
%% start example
\def\citem{\item\AfterPar{\hspace[-normal],}\GetPar}
\def\pitem{\item\AfterPar{\hspace[-normal].}\GetPar}
\defineitemgroup
[pitemize]
[command=\Word]
\starttext
\startpitemize[n]
\citem first item
\citem second item
\citem third item
\pitem fourth item
\stoppitemize
\stoptext
%% stop example
