Itemize head symbol

Itemize head symbol

[nico]

Hello,

Is it possible to change the symbol of \head in an itemize list, like \sym  
does for \item?

Regards,
BG

i'm not sure if i understand the question ... heads are like items so the same symbols apply (or do you want different symbols for \item and \head in one itemize?)

Yes, that's it. I wondered if it was possible a to specify a different  
symbol for a head, something like this:

\startitemize[n][headstyle=bold]
\head Default head symbol (here a number)\par Body
\head Default head symbol again\par Body
\symhead{U} The head symbol is U\par Body
\head The default symbol again\par Body
\stopitemize

But according to your answer, I guess it's not available :-)
