(A minor nitpick: AFAIK standard typographical rules require footnotes to be single-spaced even when the text is doublespaced. Can we have an interlinespace= option for footnotes (and all other forms of non-mainline text)? Also, while the lists are not double-spaced (good!) the index (register) is. I think it shouldn't be.) (Also: for miktex you should set UseEnginePath to *false*; and kpsewhich does not use --engine= under miktex, at all.) I think that to rollout my thesis the only thing that needs a fix is the (local) \placecontent not working when resetnumber=no (see appropriate email) -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

For example (where \bf is \someconfigurablecommand).
However, I find it really 'funny' that there are n different
methods to create items in an enumeration ... should these
be rather enumeration options, so that you can use the same
source code and just chang the stuff in \setup/\staritemize
to achieve the different effects?
This is why I was thinking of using \head, still, for
example.

Hm, which address is bouncing? bigfoot is long dead, use the one I'm sending this from. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Yeah, I know, but it's still clumsy.

No please this is horrible. I would like the item/desc/head
to 'run in' the text. I guess I'll have to use the \startdesc stuff :\
