The code below seems to work fine when the first MyChapterCommand is commented out and the second one is active. However, when the first one is active and the second one is commented out, the ToC does not display properly. What could be causing this to happen? I know that the first MyChapterCommand is not appropriate and use an appropriate on in the front matter environment for the actual book. \definetypeface [mainface] [rm] [serif] [palatino] [default] \definetypeface [mainface] [ss] [sans] [iwona-heavy] [default] \definetypeface [mainface] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default] \definetypeface [mainface] [mm] [math] [palatino] [default] \definetypeface [pagenumber] [ss] [sans] [iwona-light] [default] \definetypeface [dedication] [rm] [serif] [chancery] [default] \setupbodyfont[mainface] %\starthiding %Chapter number only - not appropriate for frontmatter \def\MyChapterCommand#1#2% #1 is number, #2 is text {\framed[frame=off,bottomframe=on,topframe=on] {\vbox{\centerline{ #1}}}} %\stophiding \starthiding %lines above and below chapter number and title \def\MyChapterCommand#1#2% #1 is number, #2 is text {\framed[frame=off,bottomframe=on,topframe=on] {\vbox{\headtext{chapter} #1\blank#2}}} \stophiding % headings \definestartstop[dedication][style={\switchtobodyfont[dedication,20pt]},befo re=\page] \definehead [intro] [chapter] \setuphead[chapter][style=\ss\bfd,alternative=middle, command=\MyChapterCommand, header=empty,footer=chapter, after={\blank[0.5in]},before={\blank[force,1.0in]} \placeinitial] \setuphead[intro][number=no] \setuphead[dedication][incrementnumber=no] \definecombinedlist [content][intro,chapter,section] % pagenumbers \setuppagenumbering [state=start,alternative=doublesided,conversion=numbers,location=] \setupheadertexts [chapter][pagenumber][pagenumber][My Book Title] \setupheader[style={\switchtobodyfont[pagenumber,20pt]\sl}] %turn on indentation \setupindenting[yes,medium,next] \starttext \dedication{} \startdedication \startalignment[middle] To someone who inspired or supported me.
