Dear All,

I’d like to use a mechanism that allows me to create an itemized list with my 
own labels like one can
with descriptions:

\definedescription[outline][
     headstyle=bold,style=normal,alternative=hanging,margin=1cm,distance=-.8cm]

\starttext

\outline[Welcome] Tea

\outline[Introduction] Tufte or Knuth?

\outline[Snack] Chocolate Cake

\outline[Discussion] Knuth or Tufte?

\outline[Open End] Bear and wine

\stoptext

However, instead of the above I would like to

— have the result “packed”, i.e. without lines between the descriptions
— have a stopper (“:”) after the label
— have the text of the description begin after the stopper and not at a fixed 
indentation (distance=…)

How do I do that?

Thanks,

Matthias


The following works, but I suspect that there may be a better way to get the packing.

   \define[1]\outlinehead{#1:}
   \definedescription[outline]
   \setupdescription [outline]
                      [headstyle=bold,
                       style=normal,
   %                  alternative=hanging,
                       width=fit,
                       distance=1ex,
                       before={\blank[back]},
                       headcommand=\outlinehead,
                     ]

   \starttext

   \outline{Welcome} Tea

   \outline{Introduction} Tufte or Knuth? and more and more and more
   and more to see what hanging does.

   \outline{Snack} Chocolate Cake

   \outline{Discussion} Knuth or Tufte?

   \outline{Open End} Bear and wine

   \stoptext

Try it both with and without the hanging alternative.

And for me, beer is preferable to bear.
