new line in \writetolist ?

new line in \writetolist ?

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Same question again, perhaps a bit more clear...
(And, please, I need an answer until Sunday! Thanks.)

How can I make a line break in an \writetolist entry?
e.g.
\writetolist[chapter]{This is a very long chapter name\\that doesn't 
fit in one line}

Neither \\ nor \crlf does anything.

Grüßlis vom Hraban!

You can always define a command yourself, say:

\unexpanded\def\MyBreak{ }
^^^^^^^^^^^

prevents problems in comparisons


\writetolist[...]{...... MyBreak ....}

and then redefine \MyBreak when you include the list, say:

\def\MyBreak{\crlf\hskip1em}
