Is this a bug? If not, how can I get a non-numbered head into the toc?

\startfrontmatter

Ok thnx a lot. But is that just a workaround or is there a new protocol? \start|stopfrontmatter seems like overkill... incrementnumber=no, placehead=yes used to work in the toc before, and I can forsee places where I'll need this in the mainmatter... So is it a bug? If not, why not?

i haven't touched that code for a long time; the tricky thing with all this show/don't-show and list/no-list and ... is that we need to avoid dangling out of sync nodes (i.e. it will always be a bit hairy); you can always use \writetolist ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
