Re: [NTG-context] wider item numbering in toc

6 Dec 2013

      ...
\define[1]\ChapterListNumber
 {\simplealignedbox{\listparameter{width}}{flushright}{#1}}
\setuplist[chapter][width=2em,distance=1em,numbercommand=\ChapterListNumber]
This now gives a toc looking the way I like.
May I lay at your foot a plea for a change/additional parameter here? \setuplist[][itemalign=left/right] or something in that sense.
For numbered chapters I consider an alignment as below most natural, although opinions may differ.
 8
 9
10
11
instead of
8
9
10
11

By the way, the \define[1] eludes me. Why this particular [1] there?
...
Why do you think lists use the itemgroup/itemize mechanism?
I didn’t think that exactly, but just tried it in despair and having the idea that toc items are set as an itemized list (it looks that way, isn’t it?).

Indeed, \setuplist[chapter][width=3em] makes the chapternumber set in a wider field.
But the alignment is as bad as it was: flushleft, i.e. the 1 of chapter 10 still aligns with the units from the lower chapters instead of aligning to the zero.
I looked up \setuplist in the command catalogue but cannot find a parameter to align this number, either to the right or to the left. It just seems to stick with the builtin default.
\define[1]\ChapterListNumber
 {\simplealignedbox{\listparameter{width}}{flushright}{#1}}
\setuplist[chapter][width=2em,distance=1em,numbercommand=\ChapterListNumber]
\starttext
\title{Table of contents}
\placecontent
\dorecurse{20}{\chapter{Chapter #1}}
\stoptext

I tried something like \setupitemgroup[chapter][][][itemalign=left (also tried right)] but to no avail.
