* How to stop columns from splitting up items in a list?

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?

There are examples in the manual on page 16 <http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/ma-cb-en.pdf> The spacing can be adjusted as well if the default is too big. — Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
