I am unable to adapt the example given in
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents#Forced_Page_Break to my
situation:
In my case, the ToC has no chapters per se, but uses a defined \mytitle.
This produces a series of unnumbered items in the ToC.
The example in contextgarden tells me to first define the break, which I
have done:
\definelistextra[page][before=\page]
It then tells me to call this in where I \placecontent (in my case I am
using my own defined \placecombined list[content]). The example given
in the wiki is:
\placecontent[extras={6=page}]
But I have unnumbered items which are titles (mytitles), so I am not
sure what to replace '6' with. I tried:
\placecombinedlist[content][extras={mytitle title={Elements of
Reading}=page}] since 'Elements of reading' is the title before which I
want the page break to occur. This does not work. I tried variation of
it, e.g. since it is the third such title I tried ][extras={3=page}] but
that does nothing either.
Any clues as to how I can resolve this small problem?

Hello Julian,
the mechanism does not work in the typesetting of the TOC.
Whatt you is the following, when the book is in a final stage:
run the file with \showinjector. This will give you in the left margin the numbers of the different TOC-entries.
Now you can say
\setinjector[list] [“the number of the injector where the break must take place][\page]
I hope that this is solving your issue.
Kind regards
Willi

Thanks Willi, that is the solution. So I then took a look at
\showinjector on the wiki (and \setinjector) and found pretty much what
you explained. Pity there isn't a link from the other page to this that
I might have found when I first went looking...
Is it the case that the #Forced_Page_break reference in the wiki simply
no longer applies in any situation? Anyway, that aside, thank you for
the solution.
