Formatting in TOC

Formatting in TOC

[Tomas Bures]

Dear all,

I would like to generate a table of contents, where each item should 
have a number, title and date. I use the user variables this way:


\define[1]\ChapterListTextCommand{%
#1\hskip 1.5em
\hbox{
\doiftextelse{\structurelistuservariable{date}{(\structurelistuservariable{datum})}{}
}
}


But actually I would like to align the date to some fixed horizontal 
position. Something like this:

1. Title of chapter 1         (9.2.2010) .... 5
2. Title of another chapter   (10.3.2010) .. 10
3. A very long title of a chapter
                               (10.5.2010) .. 34
4. Title of fourth chap.      (8.4.2010) ... 25

Another complication is that I would like the line to snap to a grid.
I tried it with framed, but I'm not good enough in ConTeXt.

Please, any idea?

Thank you, best regards,
Tomas

Hi, isn't Wolfgangs posting http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20100919.163604.e1f8cb40.en.html exactly what you search? You can adjust the table settings to achieve your needs.

Greeting
	Andreas

\define[1]\ChapterListTextCommand
  {\doifsomethingelse{\structurelistuservariable{date}}
     {#1\wordright{\structurelistuservariable{date}}}
     {#1}}

Formatting in toc

[Calum MacLeod]

This morning, I realised what I needed to do, and it works.

Before \starttext put:

\define[2]\hymn{\bf Hymn #1 \hspace[big] \it #2}\par}

After \starttext put stuff like

\hymn{34}{We three kings}

or

\hymn{10}{In the bleak midwinter}

etc.

This does near enough what I am after: creates a template style command,
and replicates formatting in toc.

No doubt, there might be tweaks or even cleverer ways to improve on my
efforts.

Thanks to all who took the trouble to read, and consider; and especially
Hraban, who took the trouble to offer a suggestion, which inspired me to
think more clearly.

Thanks,
Calum
