Hi, replying to my self: I was not aware of this macro \convert{new_form}{number_to_be_converted} So in the meantime the commands which give the correct result become: \unexpanded\def\Mychaptercommand#1#2#3{\blank CHAPTER~\convertnumber{R}{#1}.\blank{#2}.\hskip0.25\bodyfontsize} \unexpanded\def\Mysectioncommand#1#2#3{#2, \hskip0.5\bodyfontsize #3.\hskip0.25\bodyfontsize} used in \setuplist [chapter] [prefix=no, sectionnumber=no, headnumber=no, alternative=command, command=\Mychaptercommand] \setuplist [section] [prefix=no, sectionnumber=no, headnumber=no, alternative=command, command=\Mysectioncommand] Again thank you Wolfgang!

Hi Wolfgang,
thank you very much for solving my problem! -- Indeed this works well.
What I need to do is to convert the chapter number into a roman number.
CHAPTER XIV.
BEES CAPABLE OF DOMESTICATION. Astonishment of persons at their tameness, 25. Bees intended for the comfort of man. Properties fitting them for domestication. Bees never attack when filled with honey, 26. ....
As you can see there are only chapter numbers given. All other entries in the TOC are not even headings in the text (!). So I will have to set these texts up with \writetolist. The texts in the TOC never match any text and are only indications on the subject dealt with on the given page. -- I seems that this was common in those days, I prepared earlier another book written in Dutch showing a similar setup.
Thank you for your kind help
Willi
