Hi,

I am trying to ape a presentation style with a content list on each page.
I am getting a nasty error on the second run, when the .tuo file is
parsed. The minimal example follows:

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\usemodule[pre-general]

\setuppapersize
  [S6][S6]

\setuptexttexts
  [margin]
  [][\TopicList]

\def\TopicList
  {\vbox
     {\placelist
        [chapter, section, subsection]
        [alternative=none,
         criterium=all,
         command=\TopicLine]
      }}

\def\TopicLine#1#2#3
  {\limitatetext{\tfx #2}{\marginwidth}{\unknown}\par} 
\starttext
\completecontent
\chapter[intro]{Introduction}
\section[intro.purpose]{Purpose}
\section[intro.purpose.blah]{Initial itch}

\stoptext

... and here is the log:

So, after #3 you expect a space

>! Argument of \TopicLine has an extra }.
><inserted text>

and tex sees a \par which means troubles

\def\TopicLine#1#2#3%
  {etc etc etc} 

Btw, you don't need this method, since you can set the maxwidth: 

\setuplist[name of list][maxwidth=.85\hsize]

will work, depending on what kind of list you ask (a .. g)
