Centered list of authors in ToC
I wonder if someone can assist me with the final step in a complicated Table of Contents where all items in the ToC are centred (except page numbers which continue to be on the right). Beneath each chapter title is a list of authors (Yes, there can be up to four authors per chapter!) I can successfully achieve everything (see MWE below) except for getting the list of authors to split and be centred. Because there are four of them, I would need to split them so they appear as two (centred) with the other two below(also centred). Here is my MWE for the essential bit (which is then called in as textcommand=\SectionTocEntry in \setuplist[chapter], obviously): \define[1]\SectionTocEntry{% #1\crlf% title \midaligned{\doifnot{\structurelistuservariable{author}}{}{\structurelistuservariable{author}}}% } My problem is that at the moment, the four authors appear on a single line, so I end up with: My chapter title Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge, Minnie Mouse [p. 1, but in fact, Minnie Mouse runs across the page number!] What I want instead is: My chapter title Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck Uncle Scrooge, Minnie Mouse [p. number] Back at the chapter level my code reads: \startchapter[title={Chapter title}][author={Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge, Minnie Mouse}]. Anyone able to help with this? Julian

try \startalignment[middle] ... \stopalignment instead of \midaligned

Back at the chapter level my code reads:
\startchapter[title={Chapter title}][author={Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge, Minnie Mouse}].
\startchapter[title={Chapter title}][author={Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck,\crlf Uncle Scrooge, Minnie Mouse}]. Massi
Thank you. Ci siamo quasi, ma non del tutto! Nearly there! The \midaligned{... } was obviously preventing the \crlf in the \startchapter from working. Removing it altogether allowed the split to occur but obviously not centred. So i have tried now adding the \startalignment[middle] to the definition, but it has no effect if I do it as follows: \define[1]\SectionTocEntry{% #1\crlf% title \doifnot{\startalignment[middle]\structurelistuservariable{author}}{}{\structurelistuservariable{author}}% \stopalignment} and if I do it as: \define[1]\SectionTocEntry{% #1\crlf% title \startalignment[middle]\doifnot{\structurelistuservariable{author}}{}{\structurelistuservariable{author}}% }\stopalignment compilation fails, and also does so if I enclose everything after \startalignment and before \stopalignment in curly brackets. So how might I use \startalignment[middle] in the definition? Julian On 9/2/21 9:02 pm, mf wrote:

You need to move the \startalignment into the test (you don't want en empty one Anyway, here is an alternative: \startsetups[MySectionTocEntry] \doifsomething{\structurelistuservariable{author}} { \startalignment[middle] \darkblue \tx \structurelistuservariable{author} \stopalignment } \stopsetups \setuplist[chapter][after=\setups{MySectionTocEntry}]

Thanks for the alternative. Also gives me further ideas, especially regarding placement of the \startalignment Julian On 10/2/21 8:11 am, Hans Hagen wrote:
