Additional behavioural notes.
== Description ==
Used in itemizations. Prints the first paragraph of an item in the <code>headstyle</code> specified in {{cmd|startitemize}}, and prevents a pagebreak from occurring between the head and the next item. (By default, this the <code>headstyle</code> is simply the normal style.) An empty line or a {{cmd|par}} after a <code>\head</code> is required, so that ConTeXt may distinguish between the header line and the rest of the head item. Because the occasional bold item in a list still does not look very much like a head, the items under the head are often printed in a nested {{cmd|startitemize}}.
== Example ==
<context source=yes>
\startitemize[packed][headstyle=bold]
\head Birds \% empty line is required between first par and rest of head % The \par prevents an error from item, or one will get a very long header  What is water? This is a difficult question to answer, because water is impossible to define. One could ask the nested same question about birds. What {\startitemizeem are} birds? We just don't know. \startitemize[a] \item Toucan \item Quetzal \item Cassowary \stopitemize  \head Mammals \par% The \par has the same function as the empty line \startitemize[continue] \item Anteater \item Sloth \item Capybara \stopitemize
\stopitemize
