It is possible to nest \startitemize sequences, But each level
requires a different parameter in the \startitemize statement.
OTOH the \orderedlist command in eplain.tex uses 1,2,3 for the

I use Context for highly formatted non-fiction, but I am a bit
reluctant to use it for much of my work because of the strange

It is of course possible to cobble these expressions up in macros.

Any thoughts?

Has anyone put together a typescript for some or all of the Nimbus family? I
have the font referenced above and ran it through texfont. It is specified by
a customer's designer for a book I am working on. I can of course do the old
plain TeX \font thing but I would like to do it a more Contextis
I used \setupitemize[serried] for a numbered list. The items were each wider
than the text block so they wrapped around to a second line. As a result
Context left a blank line between items. I got
1.

2. x
I am required by my customer to alternate between white and screen backgrounds
for each row of a table for all tables, and there are lots of tables. I am
considering adding code to each row of the table or else doing the thing in
metafun/metapost. Advice, anyone?
Just to mess things up furthe
After a texfont run the generated map files contain lines like:
texnansi-raw-n019043l NimbusSanL-ReguCond 4 < n019043l.pfb texnansi.enc
What does the term "raw" signify?

printing out a wiki p
Here is my code at the moment:
\def\CapStretchAmount{.08em}
\def\CapStretch#1
{\def\stretchedspaceamount{\CapStretchAmount}\stretchednormalcase{#1}}
\setuppagenumbering[location=]
\setupheadertexts[text][pagenumber][\CapStretch{ROBERT S. CABLE}][pagenumber]
[\CapStretch{INVESTING ON AUTOPILOT}]

My task requires alternating whate and gray bars for a table. I was happy to
jump on the Natural Table facility. Further, I want the table to "float" in
the classic TeX fashion. I don't know the exact code for this in Context.
This doesn't work:
