I am writing a workbook that contains a materials list in front of some craft activities.
I found that simply displaying a bulleted list can take up lots of space on the page, so instead put the list in three columns. The problem is, if there is an item with a somewhat long description, it can be split across columns. See the example below:
\starttext \startcolumns[n=3]% \startitemize[1]% \item pizza cutter \item a word processor (or notebook paper) \stopitemize% \stopcolumns%\stoptext
In the example, it split the second item across the columns.
How can I create columns that don't allow the item to split across them?

Have you tried
\startitemize[columns,three]
instead of \startcolumns?
There are examples in the manual on page 16

The spacing can be adjusted as well if the default is too big.
