Re: [NTG-context] Chapter precis

Interesting thread. I currently use: \definestartstop [precis] [style=italic,indenting=no,indentnext=no,after={\blank}] and then \startchapter [title=A Chapter] \startprecis Short summary text. \stoprecis \stopchapter and indeed it could be interesting to also include this text in the table of contents as suggested in this thread. I thought about adding before={\startbuffer[precis]}, after={\stopbuffer\getbuffer[precis]\writetolist[chapter]{}{\getbuffer[precis]}} to the \definestartstop but this does not seem to work. I did not try further. Perhaps someone has an idea on how to better achieve this? Alan On Thu, 28 Aug 2014 16:46:28 +0200 Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

Some old fashioned novels have a chapter précis in the table of contents. In Latex exists the command \chapterprecis to put the text at the beginning of the chapter and in the able of contents. I thought, I can realize this in ConTeXt with

\writebetweenlist[chapter]{XYZ}

or with

\weitetolist[chapter]{XYZ}

But both produce only a fatal error. What’s wrong here?

Hard to tell without a example which demonstrates the error because the following works for me.

\starttext

\completecontent

\chapter{This is a chapter}

\writetolist[chapter]{}{This is a summary of the chapter with \tex{writetolist}.}

\writebetweenlist[chapter][location=here]{This is a summary of the chapter with \tex{writebetweenlist}.}

\chapter{This is another chapter}

\stoptext
