Thanks Wolfgang. The problem I had with using headers was maintaining the numbers for the headings and clauses. I was able to solve this with the [prefix=yes] option for the itemizegroup. Here is a solution (for anyone else) that achieves what I want: \starttext \placecontent[alternative=c] \chapter{A heading} \startitemize[n,repeat,2*broad][prefix=yes] \starthead{A sub-heading}\stophead Optional intro text here: \startitemize[n,repeat,3*broad][prefix=yes] \item \input knuth \item \input tufte \stopitemize \starthead{Another sub-heading}\stophead \startitemize[n,repeat,3*broad][prefix=yes] \item A short clause \stopitemize \stopitemize \chapter {A new heading} \startitemize[n,repeat,2*broad][prefix=yes] \starthead{A sub-heading}\stophead \startitemize[n,repeat,3*broad][prefix=yes] \item \input knuth \stopitemize \stopitemize \stoptext I suppose I could make the sub-heading a \section too. I just need to check my document that all level two items are heading.

I have a document that contains a numbered enumeration that spans 107 pages its a legal document where \items are clauses. I would like to put level one of the enumeration in a table of contents.
I have read the available documentation but I am not clear whether I should make level one headers, whether I can utilise the \starthead in \startitemize or whether I can create a list from the level one headings to create the table of contents.
How is best to tackle this problem?
The best solution is to use real headers and drop the enumerations. You can hide disable parts (e.g. the chapter number) of the section counter to get the same results as you have with your current solution. Wolfgang
