 Hi,
 
 what is the preferred way to set the maximum item depth for itemization with 
 symbols?

With MkII it was possible to increase the itemlevel with the “levels” key but 
MkIV has a fixed depth which can’t be changed.

 I can decrease the default value of 6 with \setcounter. However, increasing 
 to values higher than 6 results in an error: Missing number, treated as 
 zero.

\maxitemdepth is a real counter and \setcounter won’t work here. The only thing 
you can do is to ask Hans to implement the “levels” key in MkIV. What you have 
to know is that this key is only used when you define a new list with 
\defineitemgroup, for a already existing group like “itemize” you can increase 
the depth.

Strange, I tried \defineitemgroup[myitm][levels=11] in MKII but still I get 
currently no more than 6 levels in itemizations. Levels do not seem to work 
anymore.

OK. What I don't understand is why is there a hardcoded limit? The indentation 
of depth greater than 6 is working all right only the symbols are kept constant 
(\definesymbol[6]) for all depth  6.

it has to do with the fact that there can be settings set for 'each' 
level so the number of levels should be known then


i'll add a levels key as well as auto level support but don't complain 
when you have to redo settings after incrementing levels
