I'm having some difficulties with nested itemgroups. I've produced a minimal working example as follows. \defineitemgroup [test] [symbol=n] \starttext % \startitemgroup % \startitem % \startitemgroup[test] % \startitem % ... % \stopitem % \stopitemgroup % \stopitem % \stopitemgroup \startitemgroup \startitem \startitemgroup \startitem Lorem ipsum \startitemgroup[test] \startitem dolor sit amet, \stopitem \startitem consectetur adipisicing elit. \stopitem \stopitemgroup \stopitem \stopitemgroup \stopitem \stopitemgroup \stoptext I would expect items in the [test] itemgroup to be numbered 1, 2 but instead they are both 0. I have also found out that, bizarrely, uncommenting the first itemgroup fixes the issue. This is the behaviour I get on the TeXLive 2016 version of ConTeXt, I don't have the latest minimals installed to test. Thanks in advance for any help with this matter!
