[NTG-context] Can itemize calculate optimal label widths?
Hi all!
Is there a possiblity to have itemize calculate the optimal label width
itself? I have an itemize that has rather different labels, e.g.:
\startitemize
\sym{1.} An item
\sym{2.} Another item
\sym{103 a.} An item with a very broad label
\stopitemize
In this example the label 103 a. flows into the item text. It would be
great if itemize would automatically use a label width that fits the
broadest label.
Thanks for your attention,
--Stefan

a secret feature - great!
So, sometimes it really is worthwhile to ask the same question twice :o)
Thank you very much Hans

By the way: Any news from the placefigure-cookery?

Hi friends,
there are for sure more sophisticated and more urgent problems,
but my question to me is really a big problem.
Isn't there anybody that knows a command or a work-around that could help?
Hm, for some time there is a secret feature in cont-new.tex which i still
have to finish:
\starttext
\start
\setupparagraphintro[reset,first][\hangafter-2 \hangindent2em FIRST]
\input ward \blank \input ward \blank
\input ward \blank \input ward \blank
\stop
\page
\start
\setupparagraphintro[reset,next][\hangafter-2 \hangindent2em NEXT]
\input ward \blank \input ward \blank
\input ward \blank \input ward \blank
\stop
\page
\start
\setupparagraphintro[reset,each][\hangafter-2 \hangindent2em EACH]
\input ward \blank \input ward \blank
\input ward \blank \input ward \blank
\stop
\stoptext
The next option only works when you have the following patch in
cont-new.tex (Search for original):
\def\dosetupparagraphintro[#1][#2]%
{\processallactionsinset
[#1]
[ \v!reset=\global\chardef\everyparagraphintro\zerocount
\global\everyfirstparagraphintro\emptytoks
\global\everynextparagraphintro \emptytoks,
\v!eerste=\global\chardef\everyparagraphintro\plusone
\doglobal\appendtoks#2\to\everyfirstparagraphintro,
\v!volgende=\ifcase\everyparagraphintro\global\chardef\everyparagraphintro\plusone\fi
\doglobal\appendtoks#2\to\everynextparagraphintro,
\v!elk=\ifcase\everyparagraphintro\global\chardef\everyparagraphintro\plustwo\fi
\doglobal\appendtoks#2\to\everyfirstparagraphintro

Sorry for going back to an older thread, but I don't think the question
was answered properly. Alexander Klink wanted to know how to typeset {
and }. Suggestions were \type|{| and \type|}| or $\{$ and $\}$.
Neither of which is satisfactory, because it will typeset them either in
typewriter or in math font. We had a discussion about similar questions a
while ago. I still think we should have \{ and \} for
this kind of thing. As long as this isn't available, I see no better
solution than \getglyph{Serif}{123} and \getglyph{Serif}{125} vel.
sim. For those of us working in the humanities, these curly braces are
sometimes necessary (e.g., in critical editions), and having them in
typewriter or math fonts isn't acceptable. So may I continue my rally for
\{ etc.?
The problem is that the cmr fonts are not that complete. Once we switch to
the lmr fonts, this problem will disappear (sincethen we can use other
encoding vectors)

\enableregime[utf] in the preamble and unicode characteurs in the document are typeset correctly. But, in the table of contents and in the index, they are replaced with their hex codes with some garbage. how does the \jobname.tuo file looks like? maybe you run a 7 bit tex (in which care you need to enable the 8 bit tcx extension) The text in the tuo file looks exactly like the one in the table of contents. A few more tests pointed out that the problem arises from the nath module. But my TeX knowledge is too limited so I can't find where it happens into the file.
