Culleton @ 2005-03-08 19:14 UTC (permalink / raw) I have a multilevel set of itemized lists but I want to reduce the indentation because it takes up too much room. In other words instead of 1. foo a. fubar * bar I want spacing like 1. foo a. fubar * bar So I put this at the head of my document: \setupitemize[packed,serried,atmargin][indentnext=no,align=left] Since I don't know which parameter affects which dimension, I used them all. None of them seem to do what I am looking for. The space between items disappeared but that was the only change. Second question: The definition of \setupitemize seems to use three sets of square brackets but \startitemize seems to only use two. So, at the \startitemize level, which paramaters go in which set of braces? I have scanned looking for earlier posts but none seem to address these two problems. -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters http://wexfordpress.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Just use 'item' as a filter and look at the command descriptions there.

I solved my immediate problem by trying various combinations until I found one that worked. Here it is: \setupitemize[packed,serried] As for the link you referred me to it didn't work for me.

If I might chime in: it would be nice to see some sort of extended explanation with examples for the format used in ConTeXt's documentation. Because I often look at it and it does not immediately hit me what is meant. Now I am stupid, I know, but still, some sort of explanation should be nice (the manual I read more or less used the syntax without thoroughly explaining them with examples, or at least that is what I got when reading it. Might have been me.). G ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

But seeing that Hans is so busy developing Context, it's easy to see why there isn't more time to write documentation about it. And I think Patrick's wiki is making great progress and beginning to be filled with lots of interesting things. In this case, however, I find the handbook quite clear. \setupitemize takes three brackets, the first one is defined as "number each." This defines the level of the itemization you want to set up, 1 being the outer or topmost level etc. Every \startitemize is located at a precise level (i.e. nested within other itemizations or not), so there's no use for this first pair of brackets.

You are completely right. Thats why I started with it on <http://texshow.contextgarden.net/help-en.html>. Maybe this already helps?
