Changing the title of "Contents"

Changing the title of "Contents"

[David Arnold]

All,

I've placed a TOC with:

\startfrontmatter
 \completecontent
\stopfrontmatter

I'd like to change the title from "Contents" to "Table of Contents." I'd
like to center the new title on the page. I'd like it to be darkgreen and I
want to change the font to \ssbfb.

How can I do this?

One method would be

\title{Table of Contents}
\placecontent

or \setuplabeltext[en][content=Table of Contents]
\setupheadtext [\s!en] [\v!inhoud=Contents]

For the setup I would guess it must be something with setuphead, but I
don't know by heard which `section' is the second parameter.

Better use '-- ' instead of '-' as suggested in the RFC.
              ^- space

\setuphead[chapter][alternative=middle]

All,

Thanks for the help. I finally went with:

\definehead
 [myContents]
 [title]

\setuphead
 [myContents]
 [alternative=middle,
  color=darkred,
  style=\ssbfc]

\startfrontmatter
 \myContents{Table of Contents}
 \placecontent
\stopfrontmatter

It looks very nice.
