\placelist and horizontal expansion?

\placelist and horizontal expansion?

[Gilbert van den Dobbelsteen]

Hi there,

I needed to generate a list in horizontal mode. I am not sure f this is
correct but the correct result (for me) was obtained by (sorry for the
Dutch commands):

\def\MyCommand#1#2#3{#2}

\vbox{\hsize=10cm%
\plaatslijst
  [hoofdstuk]
  [variant=geen,
   voor=\leavevmode,
   na=\penalty-1,
   commando=\MyCommand]}

If I leave out the penalty-1 the list will only be horizontal, and will
not wrap at the width of the \vbox.

So Hans, if this is entirely incorrect, give me a hint.

Gilbert.

I suppose \allowbreak also works. Did you try a \space? voor=\noindent
is probably better. 

BTW, there is also (at least in the latest version)
alternative=horizontal. And, why not say:

\def\MyCommand#1#2#3{#2\space}
