== Description ==
Used in itemizations. Calls {{cmd|sym}} internally, but using the <code>\ran</code> form clarifies that this line specifies a range for the multi-point scale used by the {{cmd|its}} items.

== Example ==
<context source=yes>
\startitemize
[5, % open circles
packed] % no blank lines between items (counteracts \setupwhitespace[big])
[width=6em, % width of area in which bullets/numbers/scales are placed
distance=2em, % distance between last scale point and item
items=4] % number of points in scale
% First we print a range key
\ran{yes \hss no} % \hss produces an infinitely stretchable (and squashable) space
\its I think Lord Peter Wimsey is the bee's knees.

\stopitemize
</context>
