TOC columns

TOC columns

[Paul Gideon Dann]

Hi there,

   I've got a table of contents for a document that's split into two 
large sections.  I'm trying to display a centered heading for each 
section, and subsections listed in two columns underneath each section 
heading.  Hopefully this illustrates something of what I'm trying to 
achieve:

\midaligned{Section1}
\startcolumns[n=2]
Subsection1
...
\stopcolumns

\midaligned{Section2}
\startcolumns[n=2]
Subsection1
...
\stopcolumns

Does anyone know how to automate this for a table of contents?

Thanks for any help :)
Paul

% \setuplist

%   [after={\startcolumns\placelist[section]\stopcolumns}]

Thanks, that's genius!  However, the problem I now have is that the 
sections from *both* chapters are displayed below each chapter heading.  
That is, \placelist[section] generates the same content in both contexts.

The followings works for me, give us a example.

\setuplist
  [chapter]
  [after={\startcolumns\placelist[section]\stopcolumns}]

\starttext

\placelist[chapter]

\dorecurse{3}
  {\chapter{Chapter}
   \dorecurse{4}{\section{Section}}}

\stoptext

The same example produces the problem for me.  Maybe I have an older 
version?  I got MacTex pretty recently (two weeks ago), but the version 
is:  2007.01.12 15:56.  Here's the exact source:

\definecombinedlist[content][chapter]
\setuplist[chapter][after={\startcolumns\placelist[section]\stopcolumns}]

\placecontent

\starttext
\dorecurse{3}
   {\chapter{Chapter}
    \dorecurse{4}{\section{Section}}}
\stoptext

Hi Paul,

I could reproduce the problem also with a recent ConTeXt, replace
\placecontent with \placelist[chapter] and it works, I found no way
to get the same result with combinedlist.

Thanks Wolfgang.  It's unfortunate that I can't use combinedlist, but I 
think I'll be OK without.  Thanks again for your time, and I'll get in 
touch if I have any more difficulties :)
