What about if there are three paragraphs of text in front of the start
of itemizing (and no space allowed inbetween)? I'm also wondering why
the
    \startitemize[n][packed,paragraph]
or something like this doesn't work as expected. "paragraph" seems
like a good option (at least according to the description in the
manual: no vertical space before itemizing, but some spacing after
it), but I never succeded to make it work. Usually "paragraph" only
prevents "packed" to work properly and doesn't have any other
influence.

Thank you,
