I've added this to the wiki now, since having tested it out I don't
think my alignment problems were anything to do with the issue at hand.

To fix the alignment, I have now defined:
\def\GenPagecommand#1{\hfill\llap{#1}}
and said:
pagecommand=\GenPagecommand
for every setuplist except those which require prefixes. This allows me
to have very large page numbers and long prefixes without seeing the
page number alignment go all squiggly.

The appendices now have:
\def\AppPrefix#1{\GenPagecommand{A#1}}
and:
pagecommand=\AppPrefix
in the setuplist, and the backmatter is done similarly.

Possibly this leaves me exposed if a very long title runs over into the
llap, but I'm hoping not to run into that. Is this the only solution here?

Thanks again.

Ah, I see, \placecombinedlist uses the value of numberseparator active
at the time it is called! Thanks.

I had experimented with that, and it certainly works (I chose the second
option, but dropped the \enspace), BUT... the page numbers column in the
table of contents is now mis-aligned. I've pasted my revised minimal
test file below, and if you run that you can see that things have gone
squiggly. The frontmatter and appendices are aligned further to the
right than the chapters and backmatter. Weird.

I looked at the source and as far as I can tell the default pagecommand
is just \strut#1, so I don't understand how alignment has been changed
by redefining it, but it certainly seems to have.

indeed, since left/right is cosmetics an dit's easier to add that than

\setuplist[Appchapter][pagecommand=A]

% or cleaner: pagecommand=\AppPrefix and \def\AppPrefix#1{A\enspace#1}

now you know how to do that

Re: Getting ToC to match page numbering

[Duncan Hothersall]

I have three issues where page number formatting in the table of
contents is wrong compared to the pages themselves:

1. The separator character in the actual pagenumbers is "/". In the ToC
it displays as a "-".

2. I used "left=A" on the pagenumbering command in the appendices
because appendices are numbered A1, A2 etc. This gives the required
output for the actual pagenumbers, but there is no 'A' prefix in the ToC.

3. Similarly in the backmatter I have added a 'I/' prefix to the
pagenumber ("left={I/}"), which works on the pages but is not reflected
in the ToC.

The overall question is how to get each of these page numbering features
repeated in the table of contents?

Thanks. Minimal file follows.

Has no effect - tried this early on. Thanks for the suggestion. Seems
like this *should* be the answer though...

My current test file is a bit large, because I'm developing a whole
style, but I'll work on a small one to demonstrate.

Any other thoughts?

My guess would be (untested):

   \setuplist [part]                [separator={/}]
   \setuplist [chapter]             [separator={/}]

Getting ToC to match page numbering

[Duncan Hothersall]

Hello all.

I have set up page numbering for the bodymatter and appendices of my
document with:
\setuppagenumbering[way=bychapter,chapternumber=yes,numberseparator={/}]

so that \completepagenumber in my footer lines shows, e.g. 1/3 for
chapter 1 page 3. This works well for the actual page numbering, but in
the table of contents the separator is shown as the default '-' rather
than '/', and I can't seem to change it using separator={/},
numberseparator={/} or anything I can think of.

Can anyone tell me how to get the table of contents to match the pages?

Thanks!

Duncan
