How to use \setupitemgroup?

How to use \setupitemgroup?

Dear context users:

I have troubles using \setupitemgroup. I tried to use it based on the
contextgarden wiki page (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupitemgroup),
 description, but either my understanding how to use it is not correct or the
command doesn't behave as described on the wiki page.

In the following example I want the items to be in a numbered, packed list, where the
item numbers are followed by ), like 1) 2) etc. If I don't add stopper=) option, I get
a numbered list, but it's not packed. If I add stopper=), the list becomes an unnumbered
list, but packed. I use context standalone ConTeXt  ver: 2016.09.24 12:40 MKIV beta.
I attach the resulted pdfs.

What do I do wrong?

Thanks,

bcsikos

\setupbodyfont[docu,12pt]
\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]

Most importantly: do not mix keywords and assignments. There are dozens 
of messages on the list with your exact problem; maybe we need some sort 
of very explicit, scary warning on the wiki. So

\setupitemgroup[itemize][each][packed,joinedup][n,stopper=)]

should be

\setupitemgroup[itemize][each][packed,joinedup,n][stopper=)]

Then a couple of smaller things: bonus points for providing an example, 
but please remove stuff that has nothing to do with your question. For 
your private names, use uppercase or mixed-case so you don't clash with 
system macros, so please do not define an itemgroup "itemize," but 
"Itemize," or better still give it a more expressive name. And lastly: I 
couldn't test with the old standalone you use.

Hope that helps.

Thomas

Dear Thomas:

Thank you very  much for your fast response.

Thanks, I see. Unfortunately the wiki page doesn't mention n among the
keywords, and there is one n on the list of the assignments (without
mentioning its function). This might have caused me mixing it up.

I haven't intended to define my own itemize command. I wanted to change
the default settings of \startitemize.  Is this not the proper way to redefine
\startitemize default options? (I wanted to use \setupitemize but
the wiki site directs to \setupitemgroup page.)  The wiki page says that
"\setupitemgroup[.1.][.2.][.3.][.4.]
1: name of the itemgroup to change (e.g. itemize for \startitemize)".
And if I wanted to setup my own itemize command, should not I define it
first using \defineitemgroup?

Yes, practically you solved my problem.

Thanks again,

bcsikos

Ah, I see, I misunderstood your intention. If all you want to do is 
setup the default itemize, you can simply have

\setupitemize[each][packed,joinedup,n][stopper=!]

This is explained on the setupitemgroup page:

"\setupitemgroup[.1.][.2.][.3.][.4.]

1: name of the itemgroup to change (e.g. itemize for \startitemize). You

   get the same effect when using \setupitemize[.2.][.3.][.4.]"
