Re: How to align numerals in lists on the dot or paranthesis that follows the numeral?

["Hamid Kamrani" <hamid.kamrani@gmail.com>]

Thank you both, Taco and Wolfgang.

I will make use of your suggestions and solutions.

BTW. It seems that now I have to put some of the styling of the
numerals, such as using small caps in the setups of right and left.
For example:

\unprotect
\startsetups [numberitemleft]
  \hbox to \dimexpr\getitemparameter\itemlevel \c!width -
                   \getitemparameter\itemlevel \c!distance\relax
      \bgroup\hfill
      \cap\bgroup(
\stopsetups

\startsetups [numberitemright]
  )\egroup
  \egroup
\stopsetups
\protect

\starttext
\startitemize[n][style=bold]
\item As a college student, how do you rate yourself?
\startitemize[R,packed][left={\setups[numberitemleft]},
                        right={\setups[numberitemright]},
                        stopper={.},
                        width=4.5em,
                        style=\sl,
                        distance=2em]
     \item The first item.
     \item The second item.
     \item The third item.
     \item The fourth item.
     \item The fifth item.
     \item The sixth item.
     \item The seventh item.
     \item The eighth item.
     \item The ninth item.
     \item The tenth item.
\stopitemize
\stopitemize
\stoptext

Thanks again,
-Hamid
