Command/keyword:textdistance

This option specifies the distance beween itemization items, specifically between the last character of one and the bullet/number of the next item.

Values

none

no distance between items

small

half the value of a normal space, can be stretched by half of a em

medium

normal space distance, can be stretched by 1em

big

1em, can be stretched or shrinked by a space width

<skip>

e.g. 3pt plus 2pt minus 1pt

The standard distance is big, which makes the space quite inflexible, so you are encouraged to use medium to avoid “overfull \hbox”-warnings.

Example

\starttext

\startitemize[text][textdistance=medium]
\item Humans can create advanced tools,
\item have insufficient means of defense without them,
\item and are generally miserably adaped to anything,
\stopitemize
so they don’t prefer any home to another.
