: Dear all,
Is there, in a book-project, a way to place unnumbered chapters, in casu Acknowledgements and Abstract, in the FrontMatter before the ToC, but still mentioned in the ToC?
\definehead[prechapter][chapter] \setuphead [prechapter][number=no,incrementnumber=list]
\starttext
\prechapter{Unnumbered chapter}
\title{Contents}
\placelist[prechapter,chapter]
\chapter{Numbered chapter}
\stoptext

Thank you Wolfgang. This works and it will very likely also work for my project. I'm afrraid though that I left out an important detail, namely that the ToC itself must be mentioned in the ToC. What I'm expected to emulate is the following: (with real pagenumbers of course) CONTENTS Acknowledgements i Abstract ii Contents iii List of Illusttratiions iv List of Tables v Abbreviations and Library sigla vi Preface vii Chapter 1 8 Chapter 2 etc. So my real question should have been: Is there a way to place the ToC in an unnumbered chapter, which should not be at the very beginning of the book? But you have suggested the answer already: Changing \title{Contents} to \prechapter{Contents} does just that. Clean solution for an, imho, odd request. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

*CONTENTS*
*Acknowledgements* i *Abstract* ii *Contents* iii *List of Illusttratiions* iv *List of Tables* v *Abbreviations and Library sigla* vi *Preface* vii
Chapter 1 8 Chapter 2 etc.
So my real question should have been: Is there a way to place the ToC in an unnumbered chapter, which should not be at the very beginning of the book? But you have suggested the answer already: Changing \title{Contents} to \prechapter{Contents} does just that. Clean solution for an, imho, odd request.
Please use: \completecontent[criterium=all] to generate the ToC, and set \setupcombinedlist [content] [list={title,chapter,section,subsection}] to include the entries you want.
