no list method for \placecombinedlist[content]
Strange issue that has just happened. I updated the latest ConTeXt [ConTeXt ver: 2025.07.07 23:34 LMTX fmt: 2025.7.8 ] and for some reason \placecombinedlist[content] is giving me a page full of 'no list method' instead of the contents. If I run the same file in an older version, I have no problem, and the Table of Contents appears as it should. I have made no changes to the file that worked perfectly beforehand. Why this 'no list method'? Julian
I was to report the same issue. Same happening here (Linux 64 bits)

Hi Julian and Jairo, I can confirm this too with the following sample: \starttext \placecombinedlist[content] \dorecurse{25}{\chapter{Chapter \recurselevel}} \stoptext It is a LMTX issue only, since MkIV works fine. Line 527 from strc-lst.mkxl introduces a \normaldef in current latest (2025.07.07 23:34). Before there was only a \def. This apparently fixes the issue for me, but I have no idea whether this is the right way to do it. Hans, could you confirm whether this is the way to fix this? Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Hans, could you confirm whether this is the way to fix this?
sure but you can also try this: \permanent\protected\def\installstructurelistprocessor#tag#meaning% {\defcsname\??structurelistprocessor#tag\endcsname{#meaning}} when cleaning up some older code (as part of adding some more overload protection related features deep down) i'd forgotten that the mkiv parser is sensitive for this if that works ok i'll update ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,
I can reproduce the issue on my side with the following example:
____________________________________________________
\starttext
\placecontent
\section{Test}
\stoptext
____________________________________________________
In case it may help, reverting the recent change on line 527
of tex/context/base/mkxl/strc-lst.mklx seems to fix the issue:
\permanent\protected\def\installstructurelistprocessor#tag#meaning%
---
{\expandafter\def\csname\??structurelistprocessor#tag\endcsname{#meaning}}
+++
{\expandafter\normaldef\csname\??structurelistprocessor#tag\endcsname{#meaning}}
(Just to be clear, I do *not* suggest anyone to do this change unless Hans
or someone else familiar with the ConTeXt code can confirm it is fine - I
definitely don't know enough about it to know whether this change may have
unwelcome side effects.)
Best regards,
Florent

Thanks a lot Wolfgang and Hans for your replies! Your suggested change seems to solve the issue on my side (64-bits Linux system). Best regards, Florent Le mar. 8 juil. 2025 à 15:51, Wolfgang Schuster < wolfgang.schuster.lists@gmail.com> a écrit :

Thanks for the fix. I hadn't given an example because I thought it was implicit from mentioning the command. My bad Julian On 8/7/25 23:36, Hans Hagen wrote:
