Wow, thanks. I must have read that 'Enumerations' contextgarden wiki page a
half dozen times and missed it anyway.

I am trying to have two numbered itemizations, with a paragraph in between,
such that the second list starts where the first left off, without having to
manually calculate the new start point. The following does not work, and I do
not understand why.

I get a different result for mkiv and lmtx for the following input:

I downloaded something that purports to be Century Expanded from fontsgeek.com.
Although the font has fi and fl ligature glyphs, it does not have a ligature
font feature and ConTeXt does not use those glyphs.

Never mind. Apparently lmtx changed the default for \setupindenting from

Yes. Once again, everyone’s help has been spot on.
