Symbols
< Visuals
Symbols are named graphical or typographic elements. They can be divided into symbol sets, which gives some namespace independence, as well. You can load the symbol definitions from a symb-bla file with:
\usesymbols[bla]
Given a symbol Snowman defined in a symbolset Weather Symbols, you could typeset the symbol with:
\setupsymbolset [Weather Symbols] \symbol [Snowman]
Or, alternatively, you don't need to load the entire symbolset:
\symbol[Weather Symbols][Snowman]
You can override the existing symbols used at different levels in itemized lists by redefining the existing symbol numbers, with code like the following:
\usesymbols[mvs] \definesymbol[1][{\symbol[martinvogel 2][PointingHand]}] \definesymbol[2][{\symbol[martinvogel 2][CheckedBox]}] \startitemize[packed] \item item \item item \startitemize[packed] \item item \item item \stopitemize \item item \stopitemize
