Good evening,
I have something like this in my document:
\startalignment[middle]
...
\stopalignment
\startitemize
...
\stopitemize
and I want some (more) vertical space in between them. Adding a
\blank[big] (and even a \blank[big,force]) didn't help. Interestingly,
\leavevmode\blank[big] did. What is going on? What is the "canonical"
way to achieve what I want to have?
Regards,
--

Use a bigger value for the \blank because when you have two consecutive
blanks (the one after \stopalignment and the one from \startitemize) the smaller
value is ignored and tex uses only the bigger value.
When you use \dontleavehmode it works because you switch to horizontal mode
but the extra space of the normal line height and not your \blank value, the problem
with this approach is also that you get the parskip before the itemize.
Compare this
\setupwhitespace[4cm]
\starttext \showgrid
\startalignment[middle]
\input knuth
\stopalignment
\dontleavehmode
\startitemize
\startitem \input knuth \stopitem
\stopitemize
\stoptext
with this
\starttext \showgrid
\startalignment[middle]
\input knuth
\stopalignment
\blank[2*big]
\startitemize
\startitem \input knuth \stopitem
\stopitemize
\stoptext
Wolfgang
