Generating a list of items

[David <davidandrewrogers@gmail.com>]

Hi all

I'm teaching some classes this summer, and want to make myself a 
template for lesson planning. One of the things that I'd like to be 
able to include, if it works easily, is an automatically-created list 
of the materials I need to remember to bring. My intention is that I 
will only have to type the name of my materials once, while composing 
the plan itself, and have ConTeXt extract all the names and place them 
in a list in the same document.

I expect this means I would define something like \Materials , and then 
while typing the main text of my plan be able to type 
\Materials{Photographs} or \Materials{Sound Recording} and then have 
ConTeXt generate a list of all the items like this ...

"Materials: 1. Photographs 2. Sound Recording"

... near the top of the page.

I've tried using \placeregister, but it seems to insist on printing a 
page number for each item and alphabetical headings as in an index. I 
would like to get a simple, numbered list of items. Can I tweak the 
\register commands to do this, or perhaps is there something else I 
should try?

Thanks David
