[NTG-context] Re: Adding a line after the TOC

8 Oct 2024

      Sorry for not being clearer Julian, I was meaning could you just do
something like this?

\starttochead[title={Contents}]
\setupheader[state=stop]
\placecombinedlist[content]
\blank[2*big]
Note: All translations throughout the book are my own.
\stoptochead

Obviously you might need to apply styling to that line if you need it to
match whatever you have set up for the combinedlist, but it wasn't clear
to me why you needed the text to be *in* the TOC.

Cheers,

Duncan

What I have just tried might be rather ugly and unorthodox, but it
achieves what I want. As you can see from below, after the final chapter I
simply created a 'subject' without giving it a title as such. I realised I
needed the [location=here] to place it below the last item in the TOC.
So I have what I want, in the end, but am I missing something that is
obvious to others but not to me when you say 'Is there something stopping
you just outputting the line of text after the TOC?' Since the TOC is
created automatically from heads like chapter, section etc., I don't know
(other than the solution I came up with below) how to 'just output a line
of text after the TOC'. I suppose I was imagining a \writeafterlist command
or something like that🙂
Thanks for you help Duncan, since at least it made me look to the end of
the document rather than the beginning of it, as I had been doing.

\stopchapter
\startsubject[title={}]
\writebetweenlist[section][location=here]{\blank[2*big] Note: All
translations throughout the book are my own.}
\stopsubject
\stopbodymatter
\stopdocument

Is there something stopping you just outputting the line of text after the
TOC? Do you need it to appear as if it was part of the TOC?

I am struggling with something that might be simple enough, but...
The author is insisting that on the TOC page, after all the chapters and
their page numbers, I need to add the line (obviously without any page
number associated with it): 'All translations are by the author'.
I have trie various combinations of \writetolist and \writebetweenlist,
and I can get his comment at the beginning of the TOC, but I cannot get it
at the end, and perhaps with some vertical space separation from the main
list. How can I place it at the end?
Here is my simple MWE where at least I can get it at the beginning:
\starttochead[title={Contents}]
\setcounter [userpage] [7]
\setupheader[state=stop]
\placecombinedlist[content]
\writebetweenlist[chapter]{All translations are by the author!}
\stoptochead
