Using a very recent download of TexLive 2010 (MKII) on my PC, my success generating a useful table of contents has been somewhat limited.

I can't figure out how to put the title, "Contents," in the font I desire. The various parameters I found in the documentation affect the chapter titles and the page numbers but nothing I've found allows me to control

This works. Now I want to make the chapter titles larger but my experiments using style have failed. There must be a different way to do this. If I understand bodyfont correctly, it is used for the text of the document, not for the titles. In my case, the body is in a serif font and the titles are sanserif.

Thank you very much, Wolfgang. The time zone difference is helpful sometimes. I went to bed last night very frustrated and woke up this morning to find your solution in my inbox. It is also good to see that your assistance to me has also helped someone else. I do have a couple of questions: 1. Why aren't the \usetypescriptfile commands necessary? 2. It never occurred to me to consider the dedication as a separate chapter. Logically, it is but is the inverse of other chapters, sort of, in that the chapter title isn't normally displayed and the body of the chapter is printed in a different font than are the other chapters.

This should be my last question on this topic. I want to center the dedication but align=middle (or center) and alternative=middle added to \definestartstop[dedication] seem to have no effect. I can't seem to find a simple way to center an odd line of paragraph of text. Using a frame seems like using a sledgehammer to pound a tack.

chapter title isn't normally displayed and the body of the chapter is printed in a different font than are the other chapters.

\definestartstop[dedication][style={\switchtobodyfont[dedication,20pt]}] \definehead [dedication][chapter]

Don't define two commands with the same name, \definestartstop[dedication] was meant as alternative to \definehead[dedication]. To force a page break you can add "before=\page" to \definestartstop.

\setupindenting[medium] \indenting[next]

Enable indenting, \indenting is just a synonym for \setupindenting but use the \setup-command. \setupindenting[yes,medium,next]

\dedication{}

What major changes to my documents will I likely need to make to shift to MKIV?

accomplish similar results for chapter titles via the passing of arguments containing the chapter title and number. Numerous attempts at that have resulted in abject failure. I am clearly missing something.

Can't you use MkIV, it has better support for tracking?

- Font loading. Overall font loading is simpler, but you might need to adapt your typescripts (on occasions I have had to define \sc in terms of \addfontfeature, but I haven't checked if that is still needed). - Regimes: MkIV assumes UTF-8. - Headings: the setups for chapter and section stoppers and referencing has changed. You have much more flexibility now, but need to adapt your style files accordingly. - Metapost: It is no longer possible to change the color of a label in metapost. (You can set it up at TeX level, so this is not a limitation...you just need to change the label commands). Aditya
