Dear list I have a document with section headings which include a title, date and reference spread over two lines with different font style and justification, plus a slightly different text for the table of contents. So that I can alter the styling of the section headings without having to recode each \startsection command, I have used variables and a macro command for the style. This works for section 'title' and 'marking', but not for the 'list' attribute. The minimal working example below shows what I'm trying to do. Best wishes and many thanks in advance.
