And for MkIV one can replace this with \setupsymbolset[text] because the “text” 
symbol set defines a “blacksquare” symbol.

Hi all,

Is there a way to define your own itemize symbols? I would like a solid square, 
as in symbol 8 (referring to Table 10.1 in the Context Manual, but solid/filled 
whereas 8 is hollow.

I tried to declare my own bullet point, as in:

  \def\squarebullet{\vrule height .9ex width .8ex depth -.1ex } % square bullet

and then tried to use it in the \startitemize command, but it appears that 
command does not take commands as its first argument:

  \startitemize[\squarebullet, packed]
  \item foo
  \item baz
  ...
  \stopitemize

So here goes that idea. Other idea was to use \sym{\squarebullet}. That 
actually works, however, the problem is that it needs to be specified for the 
individual bullet point. I need something that can be specified in 
\setupitemize, such that my writers get that symbol automatically without 
having any control over it.

Any ideas?


have you tried

\definesymbol [1] [\squarebullet] ? Or, if you want it only for a few items

\sym{\squarebullet}
