Thanks for the hint. 

But as I found, any value below 2.8ex causes interline inconsistencies when
special cases appears, see the extreme below:

\starttext
\start
\setupinterlinespace[line=1.0ex]
\placecontent
\stop
\chapter{aaaaaaaa}. % line without descenders precedes a line without
ascenders
\chapter{pppppppp}. % line with descenders is followed with a line with
ascenders
\chapter{ŠŠŠŠŠŠŠŠ}. % the result is an inconsistent baseline distance
\stoptext

Is there any remedy for this? Can I fix the baseline distance somehow?

I have such cases in my TOC :-( 
(but not so extreme as here)

Thanks, Jan

\definegridsnapping[crap] [fit,0.2]
\setuplayout[grid=crap]

but if you really need that kind of tweaks you might consider using a 
better font: if interlinespace is too small you will never get nice results

you can try to play with the h/d ratio:

\setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex,height=0.8,depth=0.2]
\showstruts \strut x
\setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex,height=0.7,depth=0.3]
\showstruts \strut x

or you can plug in a command (in the toc handler) that puts each line in 
a box with manipulated dimensions

This helps! But... it breaks something else :-(

I am confused a bit. 

What exactly the linespacing is doing? It can set the baseline distance
(line=...), but it is not handled correctly? Is that snapping a workaround
for this deficiency of a standard solution?

All lines in my book have a certain (default) linespacing.
TOC entries are rendered (by default) using bigger linespacing.

I just wanted to make that TOC distance smaller a bit. Is this really the
only solution?

\definegridsnapping[crap] [fit] % what was that magic number 0.2 ?
\setuplayout[grid=crap]

\start
    \setupinterlinespace[line=2.2ex]
    \placecontent
\stop

It works. But that snapping is set globally and it breaks whitespace
handling in other parts of my document... It even produces widows/orphans
what I haven't seen before.

Just smaller gap between TOC lines, just that ;-)

Thanks in advance, Jan

I've finally found an acceptable solution.

During my tests I found a crucial difference between:

\setupinterlinespace[line=2.0ex]

and 

\setupinterlinespace[0.25]

The latter sets the baseline distance correctly even without that
problematic snapping to the grid!

Btw, is there any option to override a default (huge) TOC linespacing? I
still consider my solution rather a hack.

just set 'before' and 'after'

normally linespacing in the toc is the same as in the rest of the 
document unless one has assigned to before/after

Ok. I haven't realize that.

> document unless one has assigned to before/after

This example shows different behaviour:

\showgrid
\starttext
\start
\placecontent
\stop
\chapter{aaaaaaaa}Foo

Bar
\chapter{pppppppp}.
\chapter{ŠŠŠŠŠŠŠŠ}.
\stoptext

On my computer the TOC linespacing is almost twice as big as that in the
paragraph.

if the grid is on that can indeed be the case but only if there are 
lines with > lineheight so that's why you can use less strict options 
(older mails)

Yes, it is true, but in my example the grid is not activated, just shown to
compare differences...

maybe

\showmakeup

shows what makes that happen (for instance it can be that you inject 
invisible stuff that interferes with spacing, in which case 
\dontleavehmode's might help as otherwise tex enters / exits h/v mode 
unexpected)

To be honest, I don't understand to \showmakeup result at all...

When the following code is used, I am getting almost desired output. But
when the grid is switched on (by uncommenting the first line), it again
produces extra lines after every TOC line...

%\setuplayout[grid=yes]
\showgrid
%\showmakeup

\starttext
%\placeongrid{\startlinecorrection
%\start
\setupinterlinespace[0]  % looks like there is an extra line (?) ...
%\setupwhitespace[none]
\placecontent
%\stop
%\stoplinecorrection}

\chapter{aaaaaaaa}.
\chapter{pppppppp}.
\chapter{ŠŠŠŠŠŠŠŠ}.
\stoptext

I am quite sad that after lot of investigation I still cannot achieve such a
basic formatting...

As it is required to force \setupinterlinespace[0] to zero to get proper
result even in non-grid environment, I suspect there is some white space
placed between lines (out of my control).

I still prefer placing lines on the grid. But if the grid could be switched
off just for ToC, I could use the above code ensuring lines in the 'grid'
positions. It is fake, but I cannot manage even that (startlinecorrection
doesn't work here).

Any idea?

Thanks, Jan

When you have characters with big ascenders/descenders you have to increase
the interlinespace or change the height/depth ration of a strut.

1. Change the interlinespace value with

  \setupinterlinespace[line=14pt]

2. Change the height/depth ration with

  \setupinterlinespace[height=0.8,depth=0.2] % default: height=0.72,depth=0.28

Thanks, but neither solution works for me.

My fundamental question is why ToC has different ToC line gaps than body
text. I still think it is rather a bug which we are trying to work around
all the time...

Jan

\setuplayout[grid=yes]
\showgrid

\starttext
\setupinterlinespace[height=0.8, depth=0.2]
\placecontent  % there are blank lines between ToC lines

\chapter{aaaaaaaa}

\input{tufte}  % this is good
\chapter{pppppppp}
\chapter{ŠŠŠŠŠŠŠŠ}
\stoptext

The chapter entries insert a empty line before their content, you can disable this with

  \setuplist[chapter][before=]

See Wolfgangs mail. Don't confuse line spacing with explicit spacing 
(before and after things).

Great! I was not aware of that empty line!

I misled all of you by incorrect wording, sorry, but it is fortunately fixed
now!

Thanks a lot.

Linespacing in TOC

[Jan Tosovsky]

Dear All,

I'd like to tweak a default TOC linespacing...

I've 'invented' this:

\setupcombinedlist[content][list=chapter, alternative=c]

\starttext

\title{Table of Contents}
\setupinterlinespace[line=0.8ex] % too small, just for testing
\placecontent
\setupinterlinespace[line=2.75ex]
%\setupinterlinespace[reset]

\startfrontmatter
\chapter{Intro}text

text

text
\startfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
\chapter{Chapter}text
\stopbodymatter
\startbackmatter
\chapter{Appendix}text
\stopbackmatter
\stoptext

I cannot use simply the \completecontent command as the linespacing is
effective already between the title and the first entry line... so I am
splitting the title and the rest and set the linespacing just before list
rendering. Finally I am resetting the value manually. The 'reset' keyword
seems to be somehow ignored...

Are there better ways to tweak linespacing in TOC ?

Thanks, Jan
