Hi, \chapter{First line\\second line} gives a linebreak in the chapter's title but not in the corresponding toc entry. I need it the other way round: a line break at a specific point of the toc entry *and not* in the chapters title. Is this possible? Steffen

No, unfortunately not: it also breaks the line in the section's title ... Steffen

There is a workaround; play with \writebetweenlist [subsubsection] {\blank[small]} \writetolist[subsubsection]{}{#1} etc. So you can define a <section> that appears in the text and another that appears in the TOC. I always use this for tight toc spots.

Thank you Idris. Yes, this way I know. But I was sure there was also a fast, direct way. Well, obviously there isn't (anymore?) ... Steffen

Here's a trick. It is ugly, but works reasonably well. \starttext \def\CR{\crlf} \completecontent \def\CR{ } \chapter{First line\CR second line} \stoptext

A good one for the wiki, I run into this problem myself sometimes... Best Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shi`i Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523

Nice solution but Hans wrote a mechanism to to make two different titles for the text and the table of contents or whatever else you want. \defineselector[title][max=2,n=2] \starttext \start \setupselector[title][n=1] \completecontent \stop \chapter{\select{title}{First line\crlf second line}{First line second line}} \stoptext Wolfgang

Phhh! Hot stuff Wolfgang. This one should definitely go into the wiki (maybe plus a little documentation?) Very convenient option, amazing what goodies ConTeXt provides – thank you very, very much Hans! And thank you Wolfgang for remembering this ... even the master himself forgot it ;o) Steffen Am 31.10.2007 um 12:50 schrieb Wolfgang Schuster:
