How to create in-paragraph enumerations in ConTeXt?

Question

The ConTeXt wiki article on enumerations shows many solutions for creating an enumerated list, however, I see no examples for creating an in-paragraph enumeration, e.g.:

Five animals lived in the forest: (1) bears, (2) snakes, (3) fish, (4) birds, and (5) wolves.

How can I create in-paragraph enumerations in ConTeXt?

Answer 1

Use the text key:

\setupitemize [stopper=]
\starttext

Five animals lived in the forest:
\startitemize [n,text]
  \startitem
    bears,
  \stopitem
  \startitem
    snakes,
  \stopitem
  \startitem
    fish,
  \stopitem
  \startitem
    birds, and
  \stopitem
  \startitem
    wolves.
  \stopitem
\stopitemize

\stoptext

Result:

The stopper key is necessary to remove the trailing dot. You can adjust the distance with textdistance key.
