I have a standard ToC, but what I’d like to have is that each chapter item (I don’t go lower than that in the hierarchy) comes with its own little abstract.Is that possible? G

You can use the \writebetweenlist or \writetolist commands for this. Wolfgang

Hi Gerben, As Wolfgang said, you can use something like this (example given by him some months ago on the mailing list): \definelist[chaptertext] \setuplist[chaptertext][style=\tfx,margin=3em,pagecommand=\gobbleoneargument] \starttext \placelist[chapter,chaptertext] \chapter{This is a chapter} \writetolist[chaptertext]{}{This is a small description of this chapter: \input ward } \input knuth.tex \stoptext Best regards: OK

This works, but not completely. I’ve added this to my environments file: \definelist[chaptertext] \setuplist[chaptertext][style=\itx,margin=3em,pagecommand=\gobbleoneargument] and the contents list is created by \title[h:toc]{Contents} \placelist[chapter,chaptertext] %\completecontent[level=chapter] The %-outcommented was the original list. In the chapter file, it now says \chapter[h:foo]{Foo} \writetolist[chaptertext]{}{\input tufte} The effect of this is that every chapter name in the list is typeset as \itx, not just the summary chaptertext. The chapter numbers are still in their original font and size. G On 25 Nov 2014, at 08:18, Otared Kavian wrote:

Hi Gerben, This shouldn’t be a problem, since you may give your own style to the list of chapters by saying for example \setuplist[chapter][style=\bf] or whatever style you wish. Best regards: OK

Hi Gerben, Sorry for not having been more cautious: what I sent you works fine with mkiv, but somehow in mkii giving a style for your list of « chaptertext » spills over to the list of « chapter »… The following seems to give your desired result in mkii: \definelist[chaptertext] \setuplist[chaptertext][pagecommand=\gobbleoneargument] \define[1]\ChapterAbstract{\writetolist[chaptertext]{}{\start\itx#1\stop}} \starttext \placelist[chapter,chaptertext] \chapter{This is a chapter} \ChapterAbstract{This is a small description of this chapter: \input ward } \input knuth.tex \stoptext Best regards: OK

I tried

\definelist[chaptertext] \setuplist[chaptertext][style=\itx,margin=3em,pagecommand=\gobbleoneargument] \setuplist[chapter][style=\tfa,before={\blank[big]}]

but what happens in the TOC is: - Chapter numbers and page numbers are \tfa - Chapter name seems \it - Chapter text is \itx

In other words, the \itx command for chaptertext influences the style of chapter

G

Minimal example:

\definelist[chaptertext] \setuplist[chaptertext][style=\itx,margin=3em,pagecommand=\gobbleoneargument] \setuplist[chapter][style=\tfa,before={\blank[big]}]

\starttext

\placelist[chapter,chaptertext]

\chapter{This is a chapter}

\writetolist[chaptertext]{}{This is a small description of this chapter: \input ward }

\input knuth.tex

\chapter{This is a chapter}

\writetolist[chaptertext]{}{This is a small description of this chapter: \input ward }

\input knuth.tex

\chapter{This is a chapter}

\writetolist[chaptertext]{}{This is a small description of this chapter: \input ward }

\input knuth.tex

\stoptext
