Dear list,A brief follow-up for (1) itemizations [resolved; but question on ConTeXt hsize defaults] and (2) hyphenation [troubles]. (1) To deal with itemizations and other situation where texts are indented such as: \setuppapersize[landscape,letter] \showframe \starttext \samplefile{knuth} \ctxlua{context(tex.dimen["textwidth"])} % 37213340 \ctxlua{context(tex.dimen["localhsize"])} % 0 \startitemize[width=5em] \item \samplefile{knuth} \ctxlua{context(tex.dimen["textwidth"])} % 37213340 \ctxlua{context(tex.dimen["localhsize"])} % 33283340 \stopitemize \stoptext
The problem with these thing is that there is more involved than just counting, like font features, hyphenation, current paragrph properties, etc. and you don't want interference with other features. You also want the paragraphs to look somewhat ok. Folks who enforce such demands on authors never wonder where the tools do do that come from (publishers and probably most designers are not interested in that anyway: thinking probably stops at the number '120').
Attached a proof of concept that gives an idea. No upload as first we need to do some wrapping up of math. Not that we needed something in the engine other than the linebreak helper to accept direct modes (no need to go back and forth then and i only want write this crap once). Could be a module although it's only some 70 lines of code in the end. Maybe it makes a nice (lmtx) demo for the ctx meeting too.
Here we work per paragraph not per line which looks better on the average. One could mess with parshapes but why bother.
(The todo in the name refers to the fact that it might do into a th elow level paragraph manual.)
(No more time now but we can add later; remind me if I forget.)
