Hi John,

I guess that the following might achieve what you want:

    \starttext
    \title{Contents}\placelist[chapter]
    \title{More Contents}\placelist[chapter,section]
    \dorecurse{5}{\chapter{Chapter}
    \dorecurse{5}{\section{Section}}}
    \stoptext

BTW, why do you use makeups? They are perfect when content fits in a
single page. Otherwise, you get the following (see page 2):

    \setuppapersize[A6]
    \starttext
    \title{Contents}\placelist[chapter]
    \startmakeup
    \title{More Contents}\placelist[chapter,section]
    \stopmakeup
    \dorecurse{5}{\chapter{Chapter}
    \dorecurse{5}{\section{Section}}}
    \stoptext

To avoid page numbering in your tables of contents (and not having to
remove page numbering in frontmatter):

    \definesectionblock[whatcomesfirst][firstmatter]
    \startsectionblockenvironment[whatcomesfirst]
        \setuppagenumbering[location=]
    \stopsectionblockenvironment
    \setuppapersize[A6]
    \starttext
    \startfirstmatter
    \title{Contents}\placelist[chapter]
    \title{More Contents}\placelist[chapter,section]
    \stopfirstmatter
    \dorecurse{5}{\chapter{Chapter}
    \dorecurse{5}{\section{Section}}}
    \stoptext

I hope it helps,


Pablo
