\placecontent problems

\placecontent problems

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Dear gang:

I have a \placecontent-type problem. I want to collect all the subsections and
 subsubsections into a list, then place that list into an appendix 
(conversion=Characters):

\definecombinedlist[synopsis][subsection,subsubsection][textstyle=\tf]
\setupcombinedlist [synopsis][alternative=c,textstyle=\tf]

There are two problems:

1. If I place the content list within a chapter, the list disappears. It works 
if I place it before the chapter heading. Thus, I need a way to do 
\placesynopsis beneath a chapter heading;

2. \start-\stopappendices begins a new sectionblock, therefore  \placesynopsis 
does nothing, even if I do not place it within a chapter/appendix.

Thus (assuming we can solve problem 1) I need a way to change the conversion 
to Characters on the fly within the bodymatter sectionblock. I need, e.g.

1. A Chapter
2. Another Chapter
A. An Appendix

within the same sectionblock.

Is this possible? I notice that conversion=Characters appears to be defined 
for the global sectionblock, but not for local headings. It would be nice if I 
could do something like

\definehead[appendix][chapter]
\setuphead[appendix][conversion=Characters]

with the first instance of \appendix starting with `A' (i.e., decoupled from 
the chapter numbers).

See the attached file for some experiments.

Hi Hans,

\startbuffer[synopsis]

As always a lifesaver: THNX!!!

\chapter{...}
\placesynopsis
\section{...}

will give a toc of the chapter

\chapter{...}
\section{...}
\placesynopsis[criterium=previous] % or chapter

should give alist at the chapter level as well; by default the list 
commands give a local list, so in your appendix you need:

\placesynopsis[criterium=text] % or all

registerds default in teh opposite way, always global, but again you can 
ask for a register per whatever .

\placecontent problems

[Dear syndicate: I sent this Saturday with no response yet. Sorry 4 being a 
pest, but I've got to get this (much-delayed) book to the publisher this week; 
hope someone can help...:-)]

Dear gang:

I have a \placecontent-type problem. I want to collect all the subsections and
subsubsections of the main bodymatter of a book into a list, then place that 
list into an appendix (conversion=Characters):

\definecombinedlist[synopsis][subsection,subsubsection][textstyle=\tf]
\setupcombinedlist [synopsis][alternative=c,textstyle=\tf]

There are two problems:

1. If I place the content list within a chapter, the list disappears. It works
if I place it before the chapter heading. Thus, I need a way to do
\placesynopsis beneath a chapter heading;

2. \start-\stopappendices begins a new sectionblock, therefore  \placesynopsis
does nothing, even if I do not place it within a chapter/appendix.

Thus (assuming we can solve problem 1) I need a way to change the conversion
to Characters on the fly within the bodymatter sectionblock. I need, e.g.

A. An Appendix
