hi,

I'm creating a command that can format multiple choice questions on my own.
I've done most of it at the moment.
But I want more, so I'm trying to create more versions of this command
that is already nearing completion.
So I'm using the following command to create a command with more possibilities.

I've noticed that ‘startitem stopitem’ isn't working.


You can't put the items in a group.


\starttext

before

\startitemize[n,horizontal,two]
\begingroup\startitem aaa\stopitem\endgroup
\begingroup\startitem bbb\stopitem\endgroup
\stopitemize

after

\stoptext


Their location and serial number are anomalous.

%%%% Removed some unnecessary commands to show what the problem was.
% macros=mkvi
\starttext
\unprotect
\installnamespace          {chitem}
\installcommandhandler \????chitem     {chitem}     \????chitem

\appendtoks
  \setuevalue{\e!start\currentchitem}{\startnamedchitem [\currentchitem]}%
  \setuevalue{\e!stop \currentchitem}{\stopnamedchitem}%
\to \everydefinechitem

\tolerant\protected\def\markedchoice#1{{\sym{@} \red sym : #1}}
\tolerant\protected\def\normalchoice#1{\startitem normal : #1\stopitem}
\tolerant\protected\def\\calc_maxwidth#1{}
%The longest option text is calculated by comparison to
%  determine the number of columns that can be typeset

\tolerant\protected\def\startnamedchitem[#chitem]#*[#mark]#*[#option]#*#choice\stopnamedchitem%

You can't use \stopnamedchitem as delimiter for the environment,
what TeX has to see is the new \stopchitem command.

One method to achieve this is \grabuntil with a processing function.

\tolerant\protected\def\startnamedchitem[#1]#*[#2]#*[#3]%
  {\begingroup
   \edef\currentchitem{#1}%
   \edef\m_mark{#2}%
   \grabuntil{\e!stop\currentchitem}\process_chitem}

\def\process_chitem#1%
  {\ifx\m_mark\wildcardsymbol
     \aftergroup\markedchoice
   \else
     \aftergroup\normalchoice
   \fi
   \endgroup{#1}}
