Re: [NTG-context] Spacing issue in itemize
Hi Hans, Aditya, and all,
Let me add another case to this discussion. For multiple choice questions, it
is nice to have the columns option. However, this produces somewhat
inconsistent results. In the code below, without Aditya's tweak, there is space
before the choices in the first two cases, which use columns, but not the last.
Aditya’s tweak makes them more consistent.
Adding [columns, one] to the last \startchoices makes the results consistent.
When doing that, I noticed that the spacing between column rows is slightly
larger than the spacing between items without columns. So, I am happy using
[columns, one] as a solution for multiple choice problems, just somewhat
surprised by the difference.

\stopitemize
\item \fakewords{10}{15}
\stopitemize
\stoptext
Note that in the first case, the inbetween does not get inserted at the start
of the nested itemization (because, ConTeXt doesn't think that they are nested
as the names are different). But the before key of the nested itemization
doesn't get inserted in both cases because ConTeXt thinks that the itemization
is nested!
You can change this behavior by using:
\unprotect
\c_strc_itemgroups_spacing_mode\plusone
\protect
in which case both outputs are similar.
@Hans: Does it make sense to add a setups key to \setupitemize to keep such
changes local?
% 0 = before/after
% 1 = between unless before
% 2 = between
\c_strc_itemgroups_spacing_mode\plustwo
The question then is: "what key" (we have c!inherit available) and "what
values" (numbers ?) ...

Re: [NTG-context] Spacing issue in itemize
Thank you again, Aditya!
I changed my documents so I use three levels of question, which solved the
problem.
My code might be more readable if the different levels had different names
(question, part, subpart), rather than nested questions in questions. This was
my original intention. I was certainly surprised by the result.
Now I’m moving on to the problem set's diagrams with MetaFun.
