Itemize not breaking across pages?

Itemize not breaking across pages?

[Alasdair McAndrew]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 311 bytes --]

I am setting up notes and exercises for my students.  Each set of exercises
is in an itemize environment, and each \item consists of a table of
problems.  The trouble is, the itemize doesn't break across pages - I have
to put manual page breaks in.

How can I encourage automatic page-breaks?

Thanks,
Alasdair

The trouble arises when I put my tables into narrower, framedtext so as to
be able to force proper indentation:

\starttext

\startitemize[n]
\dorecurse{20}{\item This is a test

\startnarrower[left]
    \startframedtext[frame=off,offset=overlay]
\starttables[|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|]
      \NC (a) \NC Problem 1
      \NC (b) \NC Problem 2
      \NC (c) \NC Problem 3
      \NC (d) \NC Problem 4 \NC\NR
      \noalign{\blank[3mm]}
      \NC (e) \NC Problem 5
      \NC (f) \NC Problem 6
      \NC (g) \NC Problem 7
      \NC (h) \NC Problem 8 \NC\NR
    \stoptables
 \stopframedtext
    \stopnarrower}

\stopitemize

\stoptext

On the other hand, the file:

\starttext

\startitemize[n]
\dorecurse{20}{\item This is a test

\starttables[|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|]
      \NC (a) \NC Problem 1
      \NC (b) \NC Problem 2
      \NC (c) \NC Problem 3
      \NC (d) \NC Problem 4 \NC\NR
      \noalign{\blank[3mm]}
      \NC (e) \NC Problem 5
      \NC (f) \NC Problem 6
      \NC (g) \NC Problem 7
      \NC (h) \NC Problem 8 \NC\NR
    \stoptables}

\stopitemize

\stoptext

breaks across pages properly, but the tables aren't properly aligned at the
left.

cheers,
Alasdair

Use tabulate.

\starttext

\startitemize[n]
\dorecurse{20}
  {\item This is a test
   \starttabulate[|*{8}{l|}]
   \NC (a) \NC Problem 1
   \NC (b) \NC Problem 2
   \NC (c) \NC Problem 3
   \NC (d) \NC Problem 4 \NC\NR
   \TB[3mm]
   \NC (e) \NC Problem 5
   \NC (f) \NC Problem 6
   \NC (g) \NC Problem 7
   \NC (h) \NC Problem 8 \NC\NR
   \stoptabulate}
  \stopitemize

\page

\startitemize[n]
\dorecurse{20}
  {\startitem Some text
     \startitemize[a,columns,four,unpacked][left=(,right=),stopper=]
     \dorecurse{8}{\startitem Problem \recurselevel \stopitem}
     \stopitemize
   \stopitem}
\stopitemize

\stoptext

Thank you - that works fine; especially the first, in which the problems
read in order across, rather than down in columns.

cheers,
Alasdair
