Subject: Limit text width in items
Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2018 13:33:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7D0BE147-1AEF-4F25-B4ED-3EDEB3A3ADA3@fiee.net> (raw)

Hello again,

in the MWE below I’d like to limit the run width of the item text so that the (page) number is standing out, e.g.

• This is a long and winding text
  that leads to a number .......... 99

The text can become one or several lines long.

I tried to put the text in boxes, e.g. \simplealignedbox{}{}{\vbox{...}} but I got only ugly spacing.
Also, the last line of the text continues in that leaders and number.

\def\leaderfill{\leaders\hbox to 1em{\hss. \hss}\hfill}

\starttext

\startitemize[packed,joinedup]
\startitem
	\input tufte
	\leaderfill 33
\stopitem
\startitem
	\input knuth
	\leaderfill 99
\stopitem
\stopitemize

\stoptext

Greetlings, Hraban
