Bruce,

thanks very much for that code.  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.
                                Jim
