Re: [NTG-context] running head for TOC

I have a very long Table of Contents (runs across five pages) and the author would like the running head on recto pages for this to be 'Table of Contents'.

I am using the following to create the TOC head:

\definehead [tochead] [title]

\starttochead[title={Table of Contents}] \setupheader[state=start] \placecombinedlist[content] \stoptochead

And I use the following to set up the headertexts for the book as a whole:

\setupheadertexts [{\hfill\getmarking[chapter]\hfill}][] %recto pages [{\hfill\documentvariable{metadata:title}\hfill}][] %verso pages

The problem is that I am unable to get 'Table of Contents' as a running head for the two recto pages where I need it. I realise I need to get 'tochead' recognised somehow for this. If I set up a separate \setupheadertexts [{\hfill\getmarking[tochead]\hfill}][] then I end up with 'Table of Contents as the running head on all recto pages, which I don't want.

Can anyone suggest how can I get 'Table of Contents' as the running head just for the two recto pages of a five page TOC?

How about you inherit "tochead" from "chapter" and setup the combined list "content" so that it doesn’t include "tochead"? Hraban
