Predefined conversions:

Examples

Define new conversion set

\defineconversion[inventory][<3,!,\math{\therefore},?]

Four are the things I'd been better without:
\startitemize[inventory, packed][stopper=, width=2em]
    \item Love,
    \item curiosity,
    \item freckles,
    \item and doubt.
\stopitemize
\leftaligned{---Dorothy Parker, \quote{Inventory} (fragment)}

Conversion set of stars

\defineconversion[starred][\m{*},\m{**},\m{***}] % Math mode gives better spacing, thus \m{...}

\startitemize[starred,packed][stopper=,width=2.5em]
    \item First,
    \item second,
    \item third.
\stopitemize
