Help with \setuplist number width (for appendices)

Help with \setuplist number width (for appendices)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 940 bytes --]

Dear List,

I’m implementing a predefined document style. This requires chapters numbered 1, 2, 3 … and appendices numbered Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C, … both in the actual heads and also the table of contents.

The style also requires the chapter numbers in the table of contents to be set in a 12mm column. The MWE below does all this, but for the appendices the number overflows the 12mm width, which is ugly of course. So I need to specify either a width with some stretch so the list layout will adapt, or somehow be able to specify a different width for the appendix entries.

Any help appreciated,

Robin

\setuplist[chapter][
    width=12mm,         % but want 30mm for appendices
    label=yes,
    alternative=c]

\setuplabeltext[appendix=Appendix\space]

\starttext
\completecontent

\chapter{One}
\chapter{Two}

\startappendices
\chapter{First}
\chapter{Second}
\stopappendices

\stoptext

\define[1]\ChapterlistNumber
  {\dowithnextbox
     {\ifdim\nextboxwd<12mm
        \simplealignedbox{12mm}{flushleft}{\flushnextbox}%
      \else
        \simplealignedbox{30mm}{flushleft}{\flushnextbox}%
      \fi}
     \hbox{#1}}

\setuplist
  [chapter]
  [width=0pt,
   label=yes,
   alternative=c,
   numbercommand=\ChapterlistNumber]

Thanks Wolfgang!  I actually tried something a bit like this but couldn’t get it to work. The key is to set the width to 0pt in the \setuplist.

Best wishes from Melbourne,

Robin
