I must admit that I am not a (LuaMetaT)eXpert. My limited understanding is that it might be due to expansion and the behaviour of (start|stop)item, or equivalently (start|stop)itemgroupitem. It does not seem to group like (most?) other groups. (see strc-itm.mklx) For instance if we switch to bold without grouping inside \(start|stop)item it cascades through. \startitemize[circle] \startitem \bf First \stopitem \startitem Second \stopitem \startitem Third \stopitem \startitem Fourth \stopitem \stopitemize In fact, you could just put the lefttoright call inside context.(bgroup| egroup): see p. 196 of the cld manual. (start...stop are anyway ConTeXt'ized versions of those).

Many thanks, this solved my problems. I understand
context.startitemize() is designed to get several vectors as arguments,
something I didn't thought about.
Could you explain the whereabouts of calling to context.(start|stop)()?
Some expansion stuff?
In my MWE, only the first item was left-to-right.
Best regards,
Damien Thiriet

In function 'ListeAleatoireGauche' calling startitemize as below should help:
context.startitemize ({"8","packed","random"}, {align="righttoleft"})
Further, I think you might also need to put the entry into stream in a group:
context.start() context.lefttoright(t[k]) context.stop()

Thank you Wolfgang, this is exactly what I need.
One more question: I am typesetting those questions in lua,
because lua vectors were more convenient for reading the whole
but I am not sure how should I pass the righttoleft option.
I read the cld manual and my guess is I should use function()
but looks like I lack some understanding of context proceeding.
This is what I did so far
\startluacode
userdata = userdata or {}
function ListeAleatoireGauche(t)
context.startitemize {"8","packed","random"}
for k=1,#t do
context.startitem()
context.lefttoright(t[k])
context.stopitem()
end
context.stopitemize()
end
function ListeAleatoireDroite(t)
context.startitemize {"8","packed","random"}
for k=1,#t do
context.startitem()
context(t[k])
context.stopitem()
end
context.stopitemize()
end
function QCMAssociatif(t,u)
context.startxtable {"frame=no","columndistance=3cm"}
context.startxrow()
context.startxcell()
ListeAleatoireGauche(t)
context.stopxcell()
context.startxcell()
ListeAleatoireDroite(u)
context.stopxcell()
context.stopxrow()
context.stopxtable()
end
\stopluacode
\starttext
\startluacode
Author = {"Nietzsche","God"}
Quote = {"God is dead","Nietzsche is Dead"}
QCMAssociatif (Author,Quote)
\stoptext

Thank you for all your answers.
I will have a deeper look at them.
My first comments:
If you are certain that the there will be no
multi-line item
Unfortunately there are often some. History
teachers are not known for loving short texts,
at least in France.
Using the “columns" feature is one way to go
Might be, but I do not always give the same
number of answers on both columns
Something I forgot to put in my MWE is that I
randomize both lists. Messing the answers is a
good way to prevent pupils from cheating,
especially with long answers..
That makes a four columns table more cumbersome,
so I believe.
You can use different alignment settings to move the bullet points to
the right side of your lists.

If you are certain that the there will be no multi-line item (i.e. item text is
short enough that it fits in slightly less than half of textwidth) you can use
an enumeration, and put the contents inside a two-column layout:
%%% start example-1
\define[1]\aitemcmd{\inframed[width=1cm,align=flushright,frame=off]{(#1)}}
\defineenumeration
[aitem]
\setupenumeration
[aitem]
[text=,
alternative=empty,
headstyle=normal,
width=fit,
align=flushright,
closesymbol={\getnumber[aitem]},
closecommand=\aitemcmd]
\starttext
\startcolumns[distance=1cm]
\startitemize[n]
\dorecurse{5}{
\startaitem
whatever left
\stopaitem
}
\stopitemize
\startitemize[a][left=(,right=),stopper=,width=1cm]
\dorecurse{5}{
\startitem
whatever right
\stopitem
}
\stopitemize
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
%%% stop example-1
[You can tweak the alternative, align, closesymbol, closecommand to get exactly
what you want; the example above will give a somewhat symmetric layout]
More generally, if the text can multi-line, then I think TABLE (with proper
alignment options) might be better-suited:
%%% start example-2
\define\startItemize{
\bTABLE\setupTABLE[frame=on,align=lohi]
\setupTABLE[2][distance=1cm,align={flushright,lohi}]
\setupTABLE[2,3][width=0.05\textwidth]
\setupTABLE[1][align=flushright,width=0.4\textwidth]
\setupTABLE[4][align=flushleft,width=0.4\textwidth]
}
\define\stopItemize{\eTABLE}
\define[1]\metI{\bTR \bTD #1 \eTD \bTD (\character{\currentTABLErow}) \eTD}
\define[1]\Item{\bTD (\currentTABLErow) \eTD \bTD #1 \eTD \eTR}
\starttext
\startItemize
\dorecurse{5}{
\metI {whatever here on the left}
\Item {whatever here on the right}
}
\stopItemize
\stoptext
%%% stop example-2
Best,
Sreeram

Hi Damien,
I’m not sure I get your point, but this may be helpful:
\startitem \inrightmargin{\currentitemnumber} Nietzsche\stopitem
Just in case it might give you some inspiration.
Cheers,
Pablo
