Hi, Hans: bug report : here is the test file. (old version of mkiv produce right result. current mkii result is also right) It is a bug introduced in this/last month. The code is a stripped down version of http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Horizontal_Table_of_Contents (altough it doesn't show toc horizontally) \newcount\chapcounter \chapcounter=0 \def\tocchap#1#2#3{\advance\chapcounter by 1 #1 #2% \placelist[section][criterium=chapter,number=\chapcounter]} \starttext \placelist[chapter][alternative=command,command=\tocchap] \chapter{hello} \section{hello} \section{hello} \chapter{good} \section{good} \section{good} \chapter{bad} \section{bad} \section{bad} \stoptext feature request: btw, Hans, context should give an option to iterate through all the chapters/sections to do something tricky. using \chaptercounter is a really bad idea (the materials should follow strict rules, like cannot jump from chap 1 to chap 3). I think with mkiv it is able to achieve that. question: I want to show toc before each chapter, and the toc only shows the following chapter name in red. How can I do that? e.g. show the following before chapter 3 % A Page Chap1 sec 1 sec 2 sec 3 Chap2 sec 1 sec 2 sec 3 Chap 3 %in red sec 1 sec 2 sec 3 %in Red Chap4 sec 1 sec 2 sec 3 % Next Page Chapter 3 % title a lot of materials Yue Wang

i'd like to ask what sort of regression testing you guys are doing. it's very clear that things are constantly breaking, and even trivial ones but aren't being spotted. 2009/7/18 Yue Wang

we have a couple of test docs but no regression suits .. there have been several attempts to set this up but no one is following up on that consistently and it's not something that taco and i are going to maintain (too much to do already) anyhow, most reports about bugs refer to mkiv and esp structure related things; keep in mind that most counter, number conversion, multipass info, etc has been completely rewritten from scratch so there are definitely bugs esp in gray areas and since some of the control model has changed, we even will have differnces in configuration between mkii and mkiv (topic for the context meeting) this will sort itself out as more is tested Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

add \number in front of \listparameter\c!number in strc-lst.mkiv or just in front of your \chapcounter \number\listparameter\c!number (info passed to lua has to be expanded) actually, there is in mkii: \starttext \placelist[chapter][after={\placelist[section][criterium=local]}] \chapter{hello} \section{hello} \section{hello} \chapter{good} \section{good} \section{good} \chapter{bad} \section{bad} \section{bad} \stoptext but that does not yet work in mkiv

sure, but that's for later; the mkiv structure code has much more possibilities but first i want to have the standard features complete and debugged
