Ahaa! Now it does. I misunderstood. Thanks.

Indeed, so normally you should be setting distance=(x>0)pt instead of
the width trickery. Hence my question.

Sorry, TeX is currently still like Klingon to me. Thanks anyway.

Ok I see. Now, in \placecontent or \setuplist, which parameter
allows to influence where long lines are cut off in two (or more) ?

Like...

(number) This long long
chapter title                       (pagenumber)

vs.

(number) This long
long chapter title                (pagenumber)

Using the brute force tactic I tried setting width and textwith which didn't
work.
It could be textcommand. If so what does \command#1 mean ( see main
manual pg 150 ) ?

Best,
Alan
