[NTG-context] Re: 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.
for the moment use:
\startitemize[2*broad]
and remind me in a few couple of weeks (months); it's on my mental to-do
list (not that hard to implement probably)
Hans
Ok - thanks for the reply.
Is there a (TeX-)dimension for the label width available? In other
words: by which amount is the current text area narrowed after an item
has started?

go the etex way:
\definecomplexorsimpleempty\startbnfgrammar
\long\def\complexstartbnfgrammar[#1]#2\stopbnfgrammar
{\bgroup%
\global\firstruletrue%
\global\newruletrue%
\global\donerulefalse%
\setupbnfgrammar[#1]%
\setcatcodes%
\starttable[|r|c|l|]\scantokens{#2}\LR\stoptable
\egroup}
beware, use
\def\BNFsomecommand
to avoid future nameclashes; also, no % are needed after a \cs:
\long\def\complexstartbnfgrammar[#1]#2\stopbnfgrammar
{\bgroup
\global\firstruletrue
\global\newruletrue
\global\donerulefalse
\setupbnfgrammar[#1]%
\setcatcodes
\starttable[|r|c|l|]\scantokens{#2}\LR\stoptable
\egroup}
I assume that you know that \setcatcodes is an internal command

great! thanks, that worked.

hm, OK. This is a good reason why it would be good to have a tex
programming reference, so that one'd know when it's necessary and when
it's not.
I assume that you know that \setcatcodes is an internal command
yeah, I saw it somewhere. I figured that it was a good name though and
that I'd use it too. I figured that the \unprotect deal with the
nameclash. Am I, in fact, overruling the internal one now? If so, how
should one avoid cases like this? Should I have all my module's
commands CamelCased?
Also, is there some repository of CONTEXT modules out there? I can't
find a reference on pragma-ade.com nor ntg.nl, but maybe I've missed it.
Anyway, thanks Hans for such a quick and thorough response, and also for
a great typesetting environment; TeX has never been easier,
nikolai

Re: [NTG-context] horoffset
Hello all,
well, I figured it out myself in the meantime:
\setuplayout[horoffset=-0.4cm]
to correct the printing area of my laserprinter. But this is not possible
for doublesided documents, made with
\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided],
does not work correct, but
\setuplayout [horoffset=-0.4cm]
\setuppagenumbering [alternative={singlesided,doublesided}]
does. Offset direction is now the same on every page.
BTW, can I use texexec to correct the printing area? It works at least with
pdf-files:
texexec --pdfarrange --paperoffset=-0.4cm file.pdf
Greetings
