Description

\setupitemgroup[.1.][.2.][.3.][.4.]

1: name of the itemgroup to change (e.g. itemize for \startitemize). You
   get the same effect when using \setupitemize[.2.][.3.][.4.]
2: the level of the itemgroup. Say you have:
    \startitemize
    \item outer (level one)
    \startitemize

    \stopitemize
    \stopitemize
   there are two levels of itemgroups.

   joinedup: no white space before and after itemization
   atmargin: item separator at the margin
   inmargin: item separator in margin

comment

If you are looking for \setupitemize and wonder why it is not listed: \setupitemize (and \itemize...) is generated from \defineitemgroup.

Example

% generates itemization like "Idea a:  text text .."
\setupitemize
   [1] %level of itemization
   [broad]
   [margin=no,
    distance=5em,
    stopper=,
    left=Idea ,
    right=:]
\starttext
\startitemize[a]
\item Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text
      Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text
      Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text
\item Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text
      Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text
      Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text
\stopitemize
\stoptext
