[NTG-context] Changed behavior from \convertnumber{arabicdecimals}{..} as a textcommand for note
This week I updated ConTeXt minimals. Before then, I used the following
code so that footnotes to Arabic passages would have parenthesis around
them and use the digits used in Arabic texts in the Middle East (e.g.
٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩).
\setupnote [arfootnote] [
headstyle={\switchtobodyfont[kitab]},
textcommand=\footnotenotenumbercommand,
alternative=text,
]
\define[1]\footnotenotenumbercommand{{\high{(\convertnumber{arabicdecimals}{#1})}}}
Since the update, for the 123rd footnote, I now get `(123arabic)` instead
of `(١٢٣)`.
Elsewhere, I do get the expected output (i.e. `١٢٣٢`) when calling
\convertnumber{arabicdecimals}{1232}
I'm still relatively new to ConTeXt, so I'm unsure if what used really is
correct, or if it was wrong and I now need to find the right way to do it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [NTG-context] Solved! Itemize columns with MPgraphics: another vertical spacing puzzle
Thanks, Hans!
That works, and it makes sense. Playing with frames always pays, indeed.

[NTG-context] Itemize columns with MPgraphics: another vertical spacing puzzle
Hi List,
I need to itemize graphics when I use those graphics as the choices in a
multiple choice question. When I do that in columns, I am getting excess space
below the graphics. See example code and output below. Any suggestions for how
I get rid of this space?
I’m not sure if this is related to the itemize column spacing in my previous
comment.
Thanks, again!

Putting a ruledhbox around the first item shows that each item has extra space

I have updated to the latest version and it seems that the MarkDown

Can this please be restored?

Re: [NTG-context] Spacing issue in itemize
Hi Hans, Aditya, and all,
Let me add another case to this discussion. For multiple choice questions, it
is nice to have the columns option. However, this produces somewhat
inconsistent results. In the code below, without Aditya's tweak, there is space
before the choices in the first two cases, which use columns, but not the last.
Aditya’s tweak makes them more consistent.
Adding [columns, one] to the last \startchoices makes the results consistent.
When doing that, I noticed that the spacing between column rows is slightly
larger than the spacing between items without columns. So, I am happy using
[columns, one] as a solution for multiple choice problems, just somewhat
surprised by the difference.

Thank-you for the quick response. It looks like I've been very lucky in my use

Note that in the first case, the inbetween does not get inserted at the start

doesn't get inserted in both cases because ConTeXt thinks that the itemization
is nested!
You can change this behavior by using:
\unprotect
\c_strc_itemgroups_spacing_mode\plusone
\protect
in which case both outputs are similar.
@Hans: Does it make sense to add a setups key to \setupitemize to keep such
changes local?
% 0 = before/after
% 1 = between unless before
% 2 = between
\c_strc_itemgroups_spacing_mode\plustwo
The question then is: "what key" (we have c!inherit available) and "what
