* [NTG-context] Looking for itemize help @ 2024-01-15 0:42 Jim 2024-01-15 7:17 ` [NTG-context] " Henning Hraban Ramm 2024-01-15 16:39 ` [NTG-context] " Wolfgang Schuster 0 siblings, 2 replies; 13+ messages in thread From: Jim @ 2024-01-15 0:42 UTC (permalink / raw) To: mailing list for ConTeXt users I have \setupwhitespace [big] so that I get "a blank line" between paragraphs. I would like to *not* have "blank lines" before and after my items. For example, if there is more "paragraph text" after the last item I would like to see this structure: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Some text preceding the list of items: a. Item one. b. Second item. This sentence is part of the same paragraph. The next paragraph starts here... ------------------------------------------------------------------ and if there is no "paragraph text" after the last item, I'd like to see this structure: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Some text preceding the list of items: a. Item one. b. Second item. The next paragraph starts here... ------------------------------------------------------------------ Try as I might, I can't find the right options to give to \startitemize. The closest I have found is to start with \startitemize[a,nowhite] but that prevents the "blank line" even in the second case above, which is not what I want. Further, 'packed' and 'joinedup' seem to behave identically here, both leaving "a blank line" before the first item and after the last item. Clearly, I can force a blank line before the following paragraph with a \vskip<the right amount>, but that seems like a crude way to do it. Can someone either enlighten me on either (a) the Right ConTeXt Way to do this, or (b) a document that would tell me this, if I knew to read it? I've looked in the wiki, the not-so-short intro to ConTeXt, and "ConTeXt: an excursion" with no luck. Thanks.

"after" does the trick, but not in an automatic way. I would like something which automagically "does the right thing". Perhaps it just doesn't exist in ConTeXt. The plain TeX macros I wrote for itemization do what I want, so I know it isn't (at least in plain TeX) a difficult thing.

I hate to go out on a limb and say "all", but I mean that if there is text "immediately" following the \stopitemize (i.e., no \par token or vertical mode material before more text), then there is no white space following the last \item. But if there is a blank line following the last \item, there will be vertical white space corresponding to the current \setupwhitespace setting following the last item. > \setupitemgroup[itemize][nowhite,after] >>> Sorry, then you need "nowhite".

I'm not sure I am yet ready to update the wiki (I am concerned that incomplete information may be worse than no information), but if/when I feel confident, I will add some information about some options.

Given that (apparently?) there is no option to itemize to do what I want, what you have is a good choice. I just tried this: \let\originalstopitemize=\stopitemize \define[1]\stopitemize{\originalstopitemize\doifsamestringelse{#1}{\par}{\blank}{#1}} and it works with the above test, after replacing \mystopitemize with the usual \stopitemize. I'm not sure what this might break going forward, but I guess time will tell. (Or perhaps someone with more ConTeXt knowledge than me will tell me first.) Cheers.
