In the table of context for my documents, I would like Chapters to have page numbers with alternative=c. However, my Appendices are not paginated so I do not want them to have page numbers in the TOC. Since (apparently), Appendix inherits from Chapter, each Appendix is listed in the TOC with leading dots and page number "0" regardless of what I put in \setuplist [appendix] when using \placecontent or \completecontent. So I tried creating my own head (based on title) and list. Placing this list under the TOC gives me the effect I want (Appendices are listed without dots or page numbers). Unfortunately, setuplabeltext doesn't seem to work on my newly defined head. I've tried all manner of variations like: \definelist [myappendixlist] \setuplist [myappendixlist] [pagenumber=no,alternative=b,label=yes,conversion=Character] \definehead[myappendix][title] \def\appendixlabel#1#2{Appendix #1: #2} \setuphead[myappendix][command=\appendixlabel] % \setuplabeltext [en][myappendix=Appendix~] \newcounter\myappendices \long\def\myappendix#1% {\ifhmode\unskip\fi \doglobal\increment\myappendices\relax \high{\myappendices}% \expanded{\writetolist[myappendixlist]{\myappendices}}{#1}} 1) Is there a way to suppress the display of Appendix page numbers in a TOC while retaining alternative=c for Chapters? 2) Assuming the answer to (1) is no, how do I enable display of labels in my custom defined head? Thanks, Neal

\definelist [myappendixlist] \setuplist [myappendixlist] [pagenumber=no,alternative=b,label=yes,conversion=Character]
\definehead[myappendix][title] \def\appendixlabel#1#2{Appendix #1: #2} \setuphead[myappendix][command=\appendixlabel] % \setuplabeltext [en][myappendix=Appendix~]
\newcounter\myappendices
\long\def\myappendix#1% {\ifhmode\unskip\fi \doglobal\increment\myappendices\relax \high{\myappendices}% \expanded{\writetolist[myappendixlist]{\myappendices}}{#1}}
3) How can I make the numbers in myappendixlist appear as A B C (as Appendix does) instead of 1, 2, 3 Sorry about the second post! Neal

I got the effect I wanted by hijacking subsubsection and subsubsubsection. Is there a way to change the subsubsubsection numbers to letters? Thanks, Neal
