Re: [NTG-context] Chapter precis

Aha. I see. So it may work. But I just recalled how to achieve the same result with Latex and Memoir... And I decided to sleep one night and if then my feeling ist the same as now, I'll turn back to Latex. I’m too stupid for such a complicated tool as ConTeXt. I know that it is much better als Latex, but I don’t understand it. It’s now a year that I use it frequently and I have the impression that I made not a single step forward. Let’s see what the morning brings and says ;) Thank you all for all your help! Werner On 28 Aug 2014, at 18:53, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

Sorry. I don’t understand. If I use maxwidth (line 2 without the %), I get just one truncated line of the text. But I’d like to have all the text, somewhat indented on both sides, but not truncated.

But why is the text without maxwidth indented on the right?

When you enable the pagenumber context puts some space between the number and the text.

\definelist[chaptertext] \setuplist [chaptertext][margin=2em,pagecommand=\gobbleoneargument] %\setuplist [chaptertext][margin=2em,pagenumber=no]

\starttext

\placelist[chapter,chaptertext]

\chapter{This is a chapter}

\writetolist[chaptertext]{}{\input ward }

\stoptext
