Hi all,
Is there a way to define your own itemize symbols? I would like a solid square,
as in symbol 8 (referring to Table 10.1 in the Context Manual, but solid/filled
whereas 8 is hollow.
I tried to declare my own bullet point, as in:
\def\squarebullet{\vrule height .9ex width .8ex depth -.1ex } % square bullet
and then tried to use it in the \startitemize command, but it appears that
command does not take commands as its first argument:
\startitemize[\squarebullet, packed]
\item foo
\item baz
...
\stopitemize
So here goes that idea. Other idea was to use \sym{\squarebullet}. That
actually works, however, the problem is that it needs to be specified for the
individual bullet point. I need something that can be specified in
\setupitemize, such that my writers get that symbol automatically without
having any control over it.
Any ideas?
have you tried
\definesymbol [1] [\squarebullet] ? Or, if you want it only for a few items
\sym{\squarebullet}

\definesymbol[blacksquare][\textmath\blacksquare]
\setupitemize[1][blacksquare]
\starttext
\startitemize
\item One
\item Two
\item Three
\stopitemize
\stoptext

\definesymbol[blacksquare][\textmath\blacksquare]
And for MkIV one can replace this with \setupsymbolset[text] because the “text”
symbol set defines a “blacksquare” symbol.
