hi there, context, just as latex can nest \startitemize, the context manual says max level 4.
by default context uses the symbols for these 4 levels o level 1: bullet -- level 2: dash * level 3: asterisk > level 4: triangle it is very easy to change these per the manual. but how can i make \startitemize use ordered lists by default? this is sometimes more useful for scientific works... e.g. latex by default does: 1. arabic numerals (a) letters i. roman numerals o bullet (ok, the 4th one isn't very logical in latex either...) and another question, how can make \startitemize[a] do "(a)" instead of "a." ? -f -- first came reality. then there was wolfenstein 3d... ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
