This works, but not completely. I’ve added this to my environments file:

\definelist[chaptertext]
\setuplist[chaptertext][style=\itx,margin=3em,pagecommand=\gobbleoneargument]

and the contents list is created by

        \title[h:toc]{Contents}
        \placelist[chapter,chaptertext]
%\completecontent[level=chapter]

The %-outcommented was the original list. In the chapter file, it now says

\chapter[h:foo]{Foo}
\writetolist[chaptertext]{}{\input tufte}

The effect of this is that every chapter name in the list is typeset as \itx, not just the summary chaptertext. The chapter numbers are still in their original font and size.

Hi Gerben,

As Wolfgang said, you can use something like this (example given by him some months ago on the mailing list):

\definelist[chaptertext]
\setuplist[chaptertext][style=\tfx,margin=3em,pagecommand=\gobbleoneargument]

\starttext

\placelist[chapter,chaptertext]

\chapter{This is a chapter}

\writetolist[chaptertext]{}{This is a small description of this chapter: \input ward }

\input knuth.tex

\stoptext

Best regards: OK

I have a standard ToC, but what I’d like to have is that each chapter item (I don’t go lower than that in the hierarchy) comes with its own little abstract.Is that possible?
