Hi, I need to change the default distance of dots in ToC using alternative "c". Could anybody tell me, how can I achieve this? So it should look like this: default look: 1. First chapter ................... 1 2. Second chapter ................... 10 requested look: 1. First chapter . . . . . . . . . . 1 2. Second chapter . . . . . . . . . . 10 Thank for any help. Pavel

Yes.

You need a newer version, the command is new and provides a high level interface for the \leaders macro. Wolfgang

It doesn't work on ConTeXt ver: 2013.01.10 01:04 MKIV. You need a newer version, the command is new and provides a high level interface for the \leaders macro. This is some serious pace of development. I had just about installed context couple of weeks ago and already I need an update.
Thank you. Devendra

Very nice. I wikified¹ that code in case someone needs it. Marco [1] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents#Alternating_filler_dots
