Re: [NTG-context] use parentheses in itemize

2020-06-08 Thread Mike Cooper 
Thanks David!

I also realized (with some help! Thanks John!) that I was completely 
overlooking the answers to my original question, as well as "what is stopper?" 
on the wiki.

When you leave it out, it's simply not used. In broad general terms, ConTeXt is 
set up to allow you to just ignore any features you don't need.

Stopper is for when you want

(1.)
(2.)

or

(1:)
(2:)

or any other thing that suits you, to be placed after each number. "Nothing" is 
certainly one of the legitimate and common choices for this purpose, and Aditya 
took the step of actually defining it as "nothing" by typing "stopper=". (After 
the equals sign comes... you guessed it.) :) 

Doing such a "define it to be nothing" step would be especially 
helpful/important if you DID have it defined as something for a different part 
of your document, and then wanted to change styles part way through.

The logic in that approach is obvious.  Thanks Aditya.

But then, what is "stopper"?  What's it for?  What happens if you just leave it 
out?

For symmetry, I prefer

\setupitemize[left=(, right=), stopper=]

This is one way (from the wiki):

\startitemize[a][left=(,right=),stopper=]
  \item 1234
  \item 5678
  \item 9876
  \stopitemize
