How to quote the section names in advance like the table of contents?
Dear List, say I have three sections in the document: \section{foo} ... \section{bar} ... \section{baz} ... Now I would like to auto generate a heavily customized table of contents like the following text, which cannot be done by the stock \placecontent in general, and put it into the preface: This book has 3 sections: foo, bar, and baz. The text generation should be trivial with lua, but I don't know how such forward reference of section names works. Could anyone help me with it? Thanks in advance. Best, Sylvain

How about the following? \starttext as in \about[section-one], \about[section-two], \about[section-three]... \section[section-one]{Section One} \section[section-two]{Section Two} \section[section-three]{Section Three} \stoptext Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
Hi Pablo,
thanks for the suggestion, but I was looking for an automated method for
writing a module, therefore manual reference is not feasible here.
