Thanks fo rthe explanations: indeed with my previous setups for having each exercise with a vertical rule at its left, the following modification works fine when I need items in two columns: \startsimplecolumns \startitemize[r,packed][margin=standard,stopper=,left={(},right={)},distance=1em] \item $3x - 5 = 4$. \item $(x-1)(x+3) = 5$. \item $2 - 3x \geq 2 x - 8$. \item $(x - 1) \leq (x-1)(x+2)$. \item $2x^2 - 3x +1 < 0$. \item $x^2 - 4x \geq x - x^2 - 1$. \stopitemize \stopsimplecolumns Best regards: OK ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
