Hi Guru's While typesetting an old book (original is from 1853) I need to tweak the table of contents. It looks as follows: CHAPTER II. BEES CAPABLE OF DOMESTICATION. Astonishment of persons at their tameness, 25. Bees intended for the comfort of man. Properties fitting them for domestication. Bees never attack when filled with honey, 26. .... I have attached a minimal example which works in Context version 2011.07.19 but not in 2012.01.25 nor in todays beta. Compilation stops with an error complaining that the \MycommandA has an extra }. Further there is the question how to get roman numerals when using the \Mycommand. - I realize, that all optional keys are ignored at the moment that the alternative=command is used. Kind regards Willi

CHAPTER II.
BEES CAPABLE OF DOMESTICATION. Astonishment of persons at their tameness, 25. Bees intended for the comfort of man. Properties fitting them for domestication. Bees never attack when filled with honey, 26. ....

You have to replace "\define[3]\…{…}" with "\unexpanded\def\…#1#2#3{…}".
Further there is the question how to get roman numerals when using the \Mycommand. - I realize, that all optional keys are ignored at the moment that the alternative=command is used.
You can use \convertnumber but which numbers are wrong when you use your own command? Wolfgang
Hi Wolfgang, thank you very much for solving my problem! -- Indeed this works well. What I need to do is to convert the chapter number into a roman number. CHAPTER XIV. BEES CAPABLE OF DOMESTICATION. Astonishment of persons at their tameness, 25. Bees intended for the comfort of man. Properties fitting them for domestication. Bees never attack when filled with honey, 26. .... As you can see there are only chapter numbers given. All other entries in the TOC are not even headings in the text (!). So I will have to set these texts up with \writetolist. The texts in the TOC never match any text and are only indications on the subject dealt with on the given page. -- I seems that this was common in those days, I prepared earlier another book written in Dutch showing a similar setup.

You get the same number format as you use for the chapters in the text, when I change the format of the number to roman numerals I get them also in the TOC. \definestructureconversionset[willi][][R] \setuphead[chapter][sectionconversionset=willi] Wolfgang
Hi Wolfgang, you are of course right. - When testing I switched to a test-file, where I did not set the romannumerals conversion in \setuphead. - Sorry ;-( Is the use of the option-key in \setuphead[chapter][conversion=Romannumerals] depreciated?

It’s available for backwards compatibility but not recommended, with \definestrcutureconversionset you have also a nice way to set different conversion for each section block. @Hans: Is there a reason why \setuphead use “conversion” and not “sectionconversion”? Wolfgang
Hi, replying to my self: I was not aware of this macro \convert{new_form}{number_to_be_converted} So in the meantime the commands which give the correct result become: \unexpanded\def\Mychaptercommand#1#2#3{\blank CHAPTER~\convertnumber{R}{#1}.\blank{#2}.\hskip0.25\bodyfontsize} \unexpanded\def\Mysectioncommand#1#2#3{#2, \hskip0.5\bodyfontsize #3.\hskip0.25\bodyfontsize} used in \setuplist [chapter] [prefix=no, sectionnumber=no, headnumber=no, alternative=command, command=\Mychaptercommand] \setuplist [section] [prefix=no, sectionnumber=no, headnumber=no, alternative=command, command=\Mysectioncommand] Again thank you Wolfgang!
