[NTG-context] itemize no indentation from the second line
Dear All,
I am trying to get an itemization like this
(1) This is a test. This is a test. This is a test.
This is a test. This is a test. This is a test.
(2) This is a test. This is a test. This is a test.
This is a test. This is a test. This is a test.
i.e., for each item, there is no indentation from the second line. I tried
\setupitemize[left=(, right=), stopper={}, indentnext=no]
But got no effect. Can anyone help me with it? Thank you.

[NTG-context] xml/fo typesetting with ConTeXt/foXet?
Hi list! I am hoping that someone can point me towards some more information on typesetting FO (Formatting Objects) with foXet and ConTeXt. I've read the threads on the foxet mailing list (and I assume that's dead, last post in 2005), and the wiki provides pretty sparse information. There are some files listed in the manual, but it doesn't say how to load them (or I missed that part, very possible). I can parse my .FO file, but the content is just flowed into PDF, there are no line breaks, or headings, or anything-- it just strips out the xml tags. Thanks for any help/directions!

[NTG-context] Forcing \about to give the full title
Hi folks.
Just hit a strange feature using \about to give me the title of a
referenced section. When the title is long, there seems to be an
automatic cut-off, as if some form of \nomarking had been used on the
last words of the title. So with a section somewhere in the text like
\section[sect0101]{Residence and domicile and the taxation of overseas
income}
a later reference of the form
See \about[sect0101] for further details
gives me
See 'Residence and domicile and the taxation of overseas ... ' for
further details
What I would like is for the full title to be output, however long. I
have had a look through the sources but not managed to identify where
any default cut-off is defined. Can someone help.
Oh, and my apologies, I haven't upgraded to MkIV yet, so this is a MkII
question.
Thanks very much,
Duncan

\definestartstop just provides some syntax sugar around that.
From core-sys.mkiv
\def\dododefinestartstop[#1][#2]%

Re: [NTG-context] HOWTO: Typesetting Poetry in ConTeXt
Yeah, that seems like a good way to go. Now I finally understand what
Wolfgang was saying last night :)
Since whitespace wasn't important to this particular poem, it did not matter
(using \par worked fine). But I will update my blog with this for sure, as
in the case of whitespace-sensitive poetry its a much better solution.
In general though, it is completely unnecessary, as poetry generally has no
need to be defined in macros. But it's the edge cases, where I live :)

On the contrary, typesetting poerty can be very tricky. This is what I did

For the straightforward pathway had been lost.
Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say
What was this forest savage, rough, and stern,
Which in the very thought renews the fear.
So bitter is it, death is little more;
But of the good to treat, which there I found,
Speak will I of the other things I saw there.
I cannot well repeat how there I entered,
So full was I of slumber at the moment
In which I had abandoned the true way.
But after I had reached a mountain's foot,
At that point where the valley terminated,
Which had with consternation pierced my heart,

On the contrary, typesetting poerty can be very tricky. This is what I did

Yes, but this is an example of what I am saying: in general
\startlines..\stoplines is enough (albeit here with some extra stuff
integrated into \setuplines[inbetween=]). It seems to me that pretty much
only if you are doing something generative would you need to worry about the
specifics of buffers and defining macros for typesetting poetry (as was my
case with writing a dedication page in a pandoc template). No
\startpoem..\stoppoem, or even \poem (though now I am having some nice ideas
for weird poetry.. as I said, I spend a lot of time with edge cases ;)
Interestingly, this conversation has cleared up a few lingering details in
my mind re: ConTeXt. Maybe a poetry typesetting tutorial is a worthy way to
explain some key concepts?
I'd be really curious to see your edition of the Inferno, by the way.

Re: [NTG-context] HOWTO: Typesetting Poetry in ConTeXt
I totally agree. My experience with ConTeXt is that I can obtain incredible results. But I have to dig into docs, typically with no much hope, and at the end I ask the list. The solution is typically cut and past from a guru's email :-).
