I asked this question a couple of days ago, but didn't get any takers. I don't want to be a pest, but it's frustrating to be so close yet unable to solve this final problem. Let's see if rephrasing the question helps.
I'm trying to use \doifnumberelse in a \setuplist numbercommand= but it isn't working.
The simplified example below shows the very specific table of contents layout I'm trying to accomplish. You will note that both the chapter number and the appendix letter are labeled with "Appendix" when in fact I want the chapter to be labeled "Chapter".
Does anyone know either (a) how to get \doifnumberelse to work in this situation or (b) if there's a better way I should have done this instead.
My guess is that \doifnunmberelse won't work since it's not only the number hidden there, but also formatting, conversion, ... etc. But I have no idea how to do it in some other way. You may take a look at the following, but it has the side-effect that it will not only be used in TOC, but also in text which is most probably not what you want: \def\mychapterlistnumber#1{\vbox{#1\crlf}} \def\mysectionlistnumber#1{\emspace\emspace} \def\mysectionlisttext#1{% \doifelse{#1}{Lab Tasks}{\hskip-1em\bf#1\hfilll}{#1}} \setuplist[chapter][width=1em,numberstyle=bold,% numbercommand=\mychapterlistnumber,textstyle=bold] \setuplist[section][width=2em,numbercommand=\mysectionlistnumber,% textcommand=\mysectionlisttext] \unprotect \setupsection [\s!section-2] [\v!appendix\c!conversion=appendixconversion, \c!conversion=chapterconversion,] \protect \def\appendixconversion#1{Appendix #1} \defineconversion[appendixconversion][\appendixconversion] \def\chapterconversion#1{Chapter #1} \defineconversion[chapterconversion][\chapterconversion] \starttext \bgroup{}Table of Contents\egroup\par \startcolumns[n=2,distance=.3in,balance=no] \bgroup \placelist[chapter,section][criterium=all,alternative=b] \egroup \stopcolumns \page \chapter{Foo} \section{Bar} \input knuth \startappendices \chapter{Corge} \section{Grault} \input zapf \stopappendices \stoptext Mojca
