Thanks, that's genius! However, the problem I now have is that the sections from *both* chapters are displayed below each chapter heading. That is, \placelist[section] generates the same content in both contexts. Paul Hans Hagen wrote:

Hi there,

I've got a table of contents for a document that's split into two large sections. I'm trying to display a centered heading for each section, and subsections listed in two columns underneath each section heading. Hopefully this illustrates something of what I'm trying to achieve:

\midaligned{Section1} \startcolumns[n=2] Subsection1 .... \stopcolumns

\midaligned{Section2} \startcolumns[n=2] Subsection1 .... \stopcolumns

Does anyone know how to automate this for a table of contents?

% \setuplist % [chapter] % [after={\startcolumns\placelist[section]\stopcolumns}]

The same example produces the problem for me. Maybe I have an older version? I got MacTex pretty recently (two weeks ago), but the version is: 2007.01.12 15:56. Here's the exact source: \definecombinedlist[content][chapter] \setuplist[chapter][after={\startcolumns\placelist[section]\stopcolumns}] \placecontent \starttext \dorecurse{3} {\chapter{Chapter} \dorecurse{4}{\section{Section}}} \stoptext Paul Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

The followings works for me, give us a example.

\setuplist [chapter] [after={\startcolumns\placelist[section]\stopcolumns}]

\starttext

\placelist[chapter]

\dorecurse{3} {\chapter{Chapter} \dorecurse{4}{\section{Section}}}

\stoptext

Thanks Wolfgang. It's unfortunate that I can't use combinedlist, but I think I'll be OK without. Thanks again for your time, and I'll get in touch if I have any more difficulties :) Paul Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

Hi Paul,

I could reproduce the problem also with a recent ConTeXt, replace \placecontent with \placelist[chapter] and it works, I found no way to get the same result with combinedlist.
