This seems to be much better but does not lead to the wanted result. The full example now is:
```
\definestartstop[myhl][style=mono,left={›\thinspace}]
\definedescription[categorie][
alternative=top,
headstyle=bold,
width=broad,
]
\definedescription[desc][
width=broad,
distance=\spaceamount,
headcommand={\groupedcommand{\startmyhl}{\stopmyhl :}},
headstyle=,
before={\startpacked},
after={\stoppacked},
alternative=hanging
]
\starttext
This is a \myhl{highlight}.
Some listings
\startcategorie{Itemize}
\startitemize[packed]
\item \myhl{first}: one
\item \myhl{second}: two
\stopitemize
\stopcategorie
Now the same as desc:
\startcategorie{Desc}
\startdesc{first} one \stopdesc
\startdesc{second} two \stopdesc
\stopcategorie
\stoptext
```
This adopts the correct style in \startdesc \stopdesc and sets the colon but omits the › (the left part).
