Me again…
I’ve got an itemize that needs to fit on one page. I’ve been using
inbetween={\blank[small]} for all the other analogous lists but this one is
longer and
with that spacing, it goes about one inch onto the next page. But if I use
packed,
the list is way too crammed together and there’s about 2.5 inches of extra
space on
the page!
How do I go smaller than small? Is there a “lightly packed”? Or other degrees?
I’ve tried \blank[1mm] and other dimensions but nothing will go smaller than
small… :-(
\blank understands an arbitrary measure, e.g. \blank[3pt] or \blank[0.25em]
Probably also \blank[0.5*small] works (didn’t check, but \blank[3*big] works).
Otherwise see https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/blank

Thanks Hraban,
These don't work though... It appears that a decimal will work with a dimension (like
em) but not with small. \blank[0.5*small] causes this "fatal error":
["lasttexerror"]="! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted)",
The number before the asterisk is a multiplier to repeat the value n times.
I had tried em then pt, then mm. But it won't get any smaller than small = 3mm
= 10pt = 0.9em = small. Except packed, that is...
Surely there is something in between small and packed??
The value for small is font dependent which results with the default
font and size. When you check the value you can see it is slightly
smaller than 1mm which means when you use \blank[1mm] your manual
setting is too large.

I looked at the Command/blank page multiple times and searched the wiki and the
web in every way I could think of. I only ask the list when I absolutely can't
find anything. (Of course, at least once, it was there where I had already
looked but I didn't understand enough to realize it!) I even gave searching
the mailing list archives a shot.

OK, that is a way around. I thought the indentnext existed for this, since
it was present in http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/qrcs/setup-en.pdf
Does the indentnext do something else for this setup?
