Re: styling individual parts of ToC entry

[jbf <roma83537@gmail.com>]

Thanks. Just two clarifications (also noting that I altered 'forword' in 
yours to 'foreword' in mine in every instance, just to get the spelling 
right):

1. Compiling your example just as it is below produces a result like:

[foreword: – – 2]Chapter 1 Chapter 1
                                            A. u. thor                  3

We obviously should not be getting [foreword: --2] in our result, nor a 
doubling up of Chapter 1

2. Where do I stand now with the earlier definition  (I mean the 
\define[3]\ChapterListCommand. Is that still used? Including its 
\setuplist part? What you have just given me now makes no reference to 
\ChapterListCommand, so perhaps it is no longer relevant?
