itemize, adobekb

itemize, adobekb

[Thomas A.Schmitz]

These are two very basic questions, but I couldn't find basic answers. 
Am quite willing to RTFM, but would be grateful for pointing to 
specific sections. So here comes:

1) Is it possible to have something in front of the number in numbered 
itemize-groups? Like LatTeX-style [1] etc. All I could find was the 
"stopper= " setup, but nothing for "starters."

2) The adobekb typescript is now part of the context macro package, 
right? (tex/context/base/type-akb.tex). But whenever I have this in my 
documents:

\usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding]

\setupbodyfont[pos,12pt]

everything works well, my document is typeset in times, but I get this 
error:

bodyfont       : unknown variant pos

What gives? Has "pos" been replaced by a new magic formula?

All best

Thomas

Of course Patrick's answer works. Another aproach is to use the
\setupitemize command. This gives you more control over the spacing
between the symbol and the text.

\setupitemize
[1] %level of itemization
[broad,atnmargin]
[margin=no,
  distance=5em,
  stopper=,
  left=Idea ,
  right=:]

\startitemize[a]
\item Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text
       Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text
       Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text
\item Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text
       Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text
       Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text
\stopitemize
\stoptext

Kind regards

Willi

I keep forgetting about right, left.

The atnmargin is a typo, I guess. What does atmargin do?

Thanks for your example. I hope I may put it in texshow-web?

Yes shure, it should be atmargin.

  What does atmargin do?

It gives the positioning of the symbol. You might also say inmargin, if 
you say margin then it will be indented. - I am not shure whether all 
options work properly.

Good idea! Feel free to do so.

Me stupid! Willi, this message made my day. I've been using ConTeXt for 
more than a year now, but I was never able to figure out what 
setupitemize [.1.] .1. number each meant. So it's the level of 
itemization. Thanks, that should make things easier. And many thanks to 
Patrick and to you for pointing out the left= option. ConTeXt and the 
number of options it gives never cease to amaze me!

All best

since we're back on the topic of itemize, I'll repost a question that 
I've posted here before:

-----------------------------------------------------

It seems to me that the 'before' and 'after' keywords used in the third
argument of \setupitemize are operative only if 'columns' are also
specified.  In the example below, the hairlines disappear if the 'columns'
keyword is eliminated.


Feature, bug, or misunderstanding?

BTW:   can the lengths of the two hairlines in this example be made to be
the same length?  What's causing the indentation of the first hairline?


Regards,
Gary


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------


\setupitemize[2][a,packed,columns][before={\hairline},after={\hairline}]
\setupitemize[1][n]


\starttext
\startitemize
%
\item Level One
%
\startitemize
\item first
\item second
\item third
\stopitemize
%
\item Level two
%
\startitemize
\item here's one
\item here's another
\item finally this
\stopitemize

a bit of all, this will take me some time (maybe when i redo the item 
environment); has to do with grouping and such as well as before/after 
handling

(compare output with\chardef\autoitemgroupspacing=0 set)

a bit tricky: par's (\endgraf's interfere in such matters, i.e. you need 
to invoke the command when the width is (still) known)

\setupitemize
  [2]
  [a,packed,columns]
  [before={\thinrule\endgraf},
   after={\endgraf\thinrule}]
