Table of Contents

Table of Contents

[John Culleton]

I want to typeset a book with chapters and sections, but with no numbering, 
either on the chapter heading itself or in the TOC. I do want both chapters 
and sections in the TOC. I prefer the dotleader layout (alternative=c).

I have spent two days now chasing down blind alleys. What is the shortest way 
to achieve this goal?

You can use alternative=none and supply your own formatting macro. In
conjunction with multiple toc lists, this is quite flexible. There is an
example at: http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html, in
the section "Table of contents with different sections".

Bringhurst on dot leaders: "unenlightening rows of dots that force the
eye to walk the width of the page like a prisoner being escorted back to
its cell."

But I bet you can use them within your own formatting macro.

I fought over this also for my journal. Here is what I came up with (including
some extraneous, journal-specific stuff). Note that you can use <title> and
<subject> instead of <chapter> and <section>, since the former is generally
unnumbered anyway:

==========================
\setuphead[chapter][numberstyle=normal,
                    style=\scb,
                    alternative=middle,
                    page=right,
                    number=no,
                    ownnumber=no,
                    incrementnumber=yes,
                    continue=no,
                    header=high,
                    text=high,
                    footer=empty]

\setuphead[section][numberstyle=normal,
                    textstyle=\sc,
                    continue=no,
                    number=no,
                    incrementnumber=no,
                    placehead=yes,
                    alternative=middle,
                    before={\blank[big]},
                    after={\blank[medium]}]

\setupcombinedlist[content][alternative=c]

\starttext

\noheaderandfooterlines

\placecontent

\chapter{First}

\section{first}

\chapter{Second}

\section{second}

\chapter{Third}

\section{third}

\stoptext
=======================

You can look at some samples of what ConTeXt can to with a toc here:
http://gsp-online.org/journals/journaldocs/shi/vol1no1.pdf

Some more samples can be found from here:

Thaniks Idris. The problem with Title and Subject is that they don't appear in 
the TOC in any case.  That was a half day of screwing around. But it is in 
the manual somewhere. I will gut your code and try it.

Ah, yes. But in the final analysis, you can setup title to behave exactly as
chapter and vice versa. What I did was setup <title> to appear in the toc, then
when I changed <title> in the setup to <chapter> I noticed that both behaved
identically! The sample I sent you originally used <title>; all I did was change
it to <chapter>.

AHA! I was trying to use chapters in the frontmatter and that (silently) 
killed the TOC. So I used your macros, changed all frontmatter chapters to 
titles, and the TOC appeared like magic. Next I will try to define title as 
you have defined chapter. If that works, fine. Otherwise I will just move the 
frontmatter boundary back to earlier in the file. 

Thanks for your help! And Bill also, of course.

Further on this issue. If I put a \chapter before the TOC then the contents of 
the TOC disapear silently. If I put a \title before the TOC that works but 
the title of course doesn't appear in theTOC.

If I change the definition of \title to match the one you gave me for \chapter
then again the contents of the TOC disappear silently.

If instead of changing the def of title I use the 
\writebetweenlist....\writetolist commands then the title will appear in the 
TOC but the pagenumber will be wrong. 

Here is what my customer  want:s:
1. A TOC
2. No chapter or section numbers anywhere.
3. Certain blocks of text which occur before the TOC to be listed in the TOC 
with the correct page number.

Any suggestions, anyone?

This I don't understand. Could you explain a bit more?:-)

In general, creative use of \setuphead, \writetolist, \writebetweenlist, and
\definecombinedlist will solve virtually any of this type of problem. I just don't
understand 3.

As I explained before, whenever a TOC item appears in the source file before 
the actual TOC the whole TOC becomes blank. This is true  whether the item is 
a chapter and included automatically or I use the "write" commands to do  it 
manually. Here is a dummy file:

\pdfoutput=1
\starttext
\chapter{foo}
\completecontent
\chapter{bar}
\stoptext

When I run the above file the TOC will have a header but no contents. If 
however I comment out \chapter{foo}
then chapter bar appears in the contents.

I have also tried the write etc. commands and if they appear before the 
\completecontent 
command then the TOC blanks out. 

This may be a function of The general TeX procedure to write out the items on 
one pass and bring them in on the next. The write to \chapter{foo} may 
reinitialize the external file when it is encountered on the second pass.
According to the TeXbook the write occurs when the page is shipped out. So 
\chapter{foo} probalbly clobbers the external file.  Still the TOC mechanism 
should be developed in a way that it is possible to incorporate items 
occurring before the TOC in the TOC.  This is not an uncommon requirement. 

A cure might be to move the external file to a different file name at the end 
of each pass in texexec, and bring in that copy of the file instead of the 
original external file to create the actual TOC.. That way any premature 
references would not go to the copy but to a new original. Pehaps Hans could 
rewrite the texexec or the Content macros themselves to do this. In 
pseudocode of sorts it would work  like this:
\starttext
\chapter{foo} =write to filea    
\placecontent= read from fileb 
\chapter{bar}=write to filea
\chapter{alpha}=write to filea
(etc.)
\stoptext.
copy filea to fileb
end

Thanks for the reminder!  It was my jmistake, not Idris'.

However the corrected file still doesn't show any TOC entries in its original 
form, but will show TOC entries if the first chapter is removed or moved past 
the \combinedcontent statement.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\starttext
\chapter{foo}
\completecontent
\chapter{bar}
\stoptext
-------------------------------------------
The above does not work.
----------------------------------------
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\starttext
\completecontent
\chapter{foo}
\chapter{bar}
\stoptext
-------------------------------------
But the above does work. So I deduce that the TOC mechanism doesn't handle
entries occurring before the \completecontent statement. I proposed a cure in
another post, but it would requre some modification of texexec. 

Best,

When you use the \placebookmarks command without arguments ConTeXt shows
all entries form the \placecontent list without opening them.

That did it. I found the \placebookmarks in the pandoc template once I knew what I was looking for.

Hi Aidan,

if I’m getting your point, you have to add to your .tex file:

  \setupinteraction[state=start]%
   % color=, style=, contrastcolor=, focus=standard %these may help too
  \placebookmarks
    [part,chapter,section] %written outlines
    [part,chapter] %open outlines

I hope it helps,

[Aidan Nichol]

I’m using using pandoc and ConTeXt to generate pdf documentation from markdown.

I started with the option to use latex (xetex) and swapped to ConTeXt, letting pandoc create the conTeXt file and invoke ConTeXt on it.C
Both produce a table of contents active links etc. which is pretty much identical but the xetex version in my various pdf readers can show it in side panel referred to as Table of Contents or outline. This is really nice because it makes it just a click or swipe away.

Following advice from Pablo I’ve swapped over to generating XHTML and using the XML mapping ability to generate ConTeXt and the PDF. Using this route the TOC looks the same but it’s no longer there in the outline panel.

What do I need in addition to 
\completecontent
to get this feature to work?

You can use the \placelist command, e.g.

\title{Content}
\placelist[chapter]

There two additional ways with the new code.

\setupcombinedlist[content][list={chapter,section}]

\starttext

\completecontent

…

\stoptext

and

\starttext

\completecontent[list={chapter,section}]

The list archive should contain dozens of answers to this question but here it is again.

\starttext

\title{Contents} % use \title{\headtext{content}} to get a language dependent title
\placelist[chapter,section]

…

\stoptext

or

\definecombinedlist[content][chapter,section]

Thank you very much for trying it. Can anyone post even a trivial
example that does work? Is the latest beta really broken?

Thanks,

John

Re: Table of contents

[Willi Egger]

Hi,

I was unsuccessful using \completecontent to my wishes in the recent past. The correct result I achieved with \placelist[section]. But now indeed even this fails with your example.

OK, this is happening on two separate (linux) systems now. One of them
never had context on it before.

Table of contents

[John Devereux]

Hi all,

Feeling stupid...

I updated my context MKIV to the latest version, was working with one
~1y old.

I can't get a table of contents to work at all for some strange reason,
am I misunderstanding something basic? I have tried all sorts of
variants, but a test case and log follows. 

Thanks,

John

    \completecontent
    
    \chapter{Preface}

    \chapter{Tufte}

\stopbodymatter

    \chapter{Acknowledgements}
\stopbackmatter

Many thanks,

I redone your example, see attached files.

Is it ok to redefine combined list like I did?

And how to I do that everything that precedes the table of contents
does not appear in the table of contents?

Thanks,

table of contents

[Marius]

Hello,

There must be two tables of contents in my document, one in a native
language and the other in english. In LaTeX I made new commands
\enchapter, \ensection, etc., which I use just after the \chapter or
\section command.

How do I make such commands in ConTeXt, so that these commands just
insert a line into the english table of contents, but do not insert
chapter or section in the current page?

Thanks,
Marius

The \placelist command solved both problems.

I have a working system like that in several of my docs (all similar,
though) - but if I recall correctly (won't have access to the files
until tomorrow), it only works in ConTeXt MkII, which is one of the
main reasons that I still use that version for almost all of my work.


If you put

%engine=pdftex

in the beginning of the file in question and then run ConTeXt (check
that it really uses MkII for that run), does the TOC appear?

Table of contents

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi!

I have two question about table of contents.

1) is it possible to have the toc at the end of the document.
I tried to place \placecontent or \completecontent at the end and it 
didn't work; I only managed to have the toc at the beginning of the 
document.

2) If I define my own header (like in ConTeXt an excursion: 5. Headers) 
and so, for example, replacing \section by \myheader, which has a 
section level, the table of content is empty!

If the information is in another document, please give me a pointer, thanks!

Alain

this is indeed a bug

\let\dobeginoflist\relax
\let\doendoflist\relax

it is corrected in the version i'm uploading now; this version also has 
spot colors

beware with updating:

texexec --make

is better since it also updates the metafun format (for tex it calls the 
unix script; i still have to patch texexec for the latest scripts as well 
as bibtex)

Table of Contents

[Peter Denisevich]

Hi,
Like Kris Hermans, I can't get Context to generate a TOC.  It was working with 
the version on from TexLive 7 (installed from my TUG CDROM) but since 
upgrading to Context 7.26.02 *AND* 8.15.02 it's broken.  Minimal testfile:

\starttext
\placecontent
\chapter{First}
The quick red fox
\stoptext

Output:
<snip>
systems        : begin file tt at line 1
! Undefined control sequence.
\ExpandCommand [#1][#2]->\dobeginoflist 
                                        \dostellijstin [#1][#2]\doutilities 
...

\doplaatssamengesteldelijst ...gesteldelijst ][#2]
                                                  \stoplistreferences 
{#1}\e...
<to be read again> 
                   \chapter 
l.3 \chapter
            {First}
? 
<snip>

BTW:  This is the 1st time I've upgraded Context.  What I did was:  
1) unzip *.zip's into /usr/share/TeX/texmf-local (local tree _was_ previously 
empty, so I downloaded _all_ the zips).

2) Copy ../perltk/* to /usr/share/TeX/texmf/context/perltk -- since TL7 has a 
wrapper script in TEXHOME/bin/i386-linux that calls texexec.pl.
3) texhash, texexec --make, texhash

Is this approximately correct?  In the future I would normally just upgrade 
the fmt zip...

Regards,
Peter

table of contents

[Kris Hermans]

Hi,

I create a table of contents as follows:

in the style.tex:
\setupcombinedlist[content][alternative=c,aligntitle=no,width=2.5em]

in the doc.tex:
\placecontent

This worked before, but since I upgraded to the latest beta, apparently it
is broken. How can I fix this?

My context version:
ConTeXt  ver: 2002.7.26  fmt: 2002.8.6  int: english  mes: english

thanks,

Kris Hermans.

As an addition to previous answers, you may try: 

% output=pdftex

\starttext

\setuplist[chapter][width=3em]
\setuplist[section][margin=3em,width=3em]

\placecontent[alternative=c]

\chapter{test} \section{test} \section{test} \section{test}
\chapter{test} \section{test} \section{test} \section{test}

Try the following code, I think there must be a 
more simple way to deal with your problem. But 
I am a newbie, too. :-) 

\def\SubContent#1{%
    \hbox to 1.5cm{\hskip 1cm #1}}

\setuplist
    [section]
    [before=\blank,
     aligntitle=yes,
     after=\blank,
     width=.8cm,
     distance=.2cm]

\setuplist
    [subsection]
    [numbercommand=\SubContent,
     aligntitle=yes,
     distance=.2cm]

\starttext

\completecontent[alternative=c,criterium=all]

....

\stoptext

Try a different variant:

\setupcombinedlist
	[tableofcontents]
	[variant=d]

or so.

Table of contents

[Zeljko Vrba]

How can I make table of contents look more like Latex's?
I'd like subsections etc. to be indented.. this is in Latex:

1. section......................1
   1.1 subsection...............1
   1.2 subsection...............2
2. section......................10
