Hi all!
Is there a possiblity to have itemize calculate the optimal label width
itself? I have an itemize that has rather different labels, e.g.:
\startitemize
\sym{1.} An item
\sym{2.} Another item
\sym{103 a.} An item with a very broad label
\stopitemize
In this example the label "103 a." flows into the item text. It would be
great if itemize would automatically use a label width that fits the
broadest label.
Thanks for your attention,
--Stefan

for the moment use:
\startitemize[2*broad]
and remind me in a few couple of weeks (months); it's on my mental to-do
list (not that hard to implement probably)

Ok - thanks for the reply.
Is there a (TeX-)dimension for the label width available? In other
words: by which amount is the current text area narrowed after an item
has started?
