Sometimes it doesn't really work as expected (some comments can be found in my post "\setupitemize[packed,paragraph]") and the features you are mentioning here are missing, although they would be sensible. Dear all, I have a manuscript with long nested numbered enumerations and I want the numbers of all levels to be printed automatically like: 1. one 1.1 one-one 1.2 one-two 2. two 2.1 two-one 2.2.1 two-two-one ...

Why does \setupitemize[packed,paragraph] ignore the "packed" option? Another way would probably be to say \setupitemize[packed,joinedup], but I would only like some additional space after the itemization and none before. \setupitemize[joinedup] produces the same result as \setupitemize[packed,joinedup], which I also don't really understand. Is there a way to specify how "packed" two items are? There is a "packed" and "unpacked" option, but when I'm working with huge fonts (on slides for example), it would be nice to be able to specify some fraction of "how well packed" two succesive items are.

I'll try to reinstall my cygwin or to compile the source of pstoedit on Linux later. If I understood correctly than this patch should solve the problem and -ssp should work again. Besides that, pstoedit will move to sourceforge, so it will hopefully soon be possible to download it more easily than it is now :) Mojca ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
[NTG-context] Making texshow easier to edit
The following things would make editing the texshow wiki a lot easier to edit: * Preview displays of changes * Easy cross-referencing between commands * Not putting everything inside ... tags When making changes, having a preview display makes it easier to decide on what works and what doesn't before "commiting". I added documentation to the \quote command and thought that having links to \setupquote and \setuplanguage would be helpful. I had to create -type tags for this with long-winded query-strings. It would be much easier to have some automatic cross-referencing going on (a la WikiWords perhaps, but using \ as a signal?). When everything is put inside ... tags, line-breaks become significant, which makes it very hard to tell where to break a line. It would be much better if the browser could decide this for itself. Anyway, I think that texshow is a great utility and hopefully more commands will be described and commented upon. For me to continue doing this, I'd probably have to have the above features available before I did so, nikolai -- Nikolai Weibull: now available free of charge at http://bitwi.se/!

[NTG-context] \openlineheight not set

[NTG-context] enumerated lists
Hello all (esp. the ConTeXt-Developers), some time ago I sent the following email to this list and got no reply so I'm resending it. Is there any possibility that this feature will be part of the next/one of the next ConTeXt-versions? Frank Dear all, I have a manuscript with long nested numbered enumerations and I want the numbers of all levels to be printed automatically like: 1. one 1.1 one-one 1.2 one-two 2. two 2.1 two-one 2.2.1 two-two-one ... Using the following prints only the current level's number, not all levels: \startitemize[n,packed] \item \item \startitemize[m,packed] \item \item \stopitemize \item \item \stopitemize For Latex there is the package paralist.sty for doing the desired numbering, how can this be done with ConTeXt?
