Indentation as in itemize

When you use itemize text is neatly put under each-other.
I have the folowing in a macro:
    \bTR \RowWorkTable{}{\bullet\space #1} \eTR

When text is overflowing to the following line, the text starts under the
bullet. I would like it to start under the character after the space, just
like in itemize. How would I do this?

As a hack I now use:
    \bTR \RowWorkTable{}{\startitemize \item #1 \stopitemize} \eTR

This does what I want, but I do not find it very pretty. (I have also the
feeling that it makes the compilation time longer.)

You can use descriptions with “location=left”.

It’s slower but you won’t notice a difference of a few microseconds.

I tried that, but it did not work. I think I'll stay with the 'ugly'
solution. It is only in the macro itself. So I live with it. (For the moment
being.)

Sometimes ConTeXt takes a lot longer to compile. (Two to three times. Do not
ask me why.) It looks like this happened when I made the change. So I will
not bother about it.

You can also make an extra column only for the bullet.

Itemize writes the number of entries of each environment to the auxilary file and when there is a change in this file you get two or three runs.

Will not work in my case. Sometimes there is placed something without a
bullet. I could then merge the two columns, but that would even be more ugly
as the current solution.

Aaah, that explains it. Thanks.

I thought you hide the table code in your own commands, when this is the case you can make different commands for entries with and without bullets where the second place a empty column and the first a bullet in the extra column.
