This requires chapters numbered 1, 2, 3 … and appendices numbered Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C, … both in the actual heads and also the table of contents. The style also requires the chapter numbers in the table of contents to be set in a 12mm column. The MWE below does all this, but for the appendices the number overflows the 12mm width, which is ugly of course. So I need to specify either a width with some stretch so the list layout will adapt, or somehow be able to specify a different width for the appendix entries. Any help appreciated, Robin \setuplist[chapter][ width=12mm, % but want 30mm for appendices label=yes, alternative=c] \define[1]\ChapterlistNumber {\dowithnextbox {\ifdim\nextboxwd<12mm \simplealignedbox{12mm}{flushleft}{\flushnextbox}% \else \simplealignedbox{30mm}{flushleft}{\flushnextbox}% \fi} \hbox{#1}} \setuplist [chapter] [width=0pt, label=yes, alternative=c, numbercommand=\ChapterlistNumber] Wolfgang Thanks Wolfgang! I actually tried something a bit like this but couldn’t get it to work. The key is to set the width to 0pt in the \setuplist. Best wishes from Melbourne, Robin
