Dear List,

I’m implementing a predefined document style. This requires chapters numbered 1, 2, 3 … and appendices numbered Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C, … both in the actual heads and also the table of contents.

The style also requires the chapter numbers in the table of contents to be set in a 12mm column. The MWE below does all this, but for the appendices the number overflows the 12mm width, which is ugly of course. So I need to specify either a width with some stretch so the list layout will adapt, or somehow be able to specify a different width for the appendix entries.

Any help appreciated,

Robin

\setuplist[chapter][
  width=12mm,         % but want 30mm for appendices
  label=yes,
  alternative=c]

\define[1]\ChapterlistNumber
 {\dowithnextbox
    {\ifdim\nextboxwd<12mm
       \simplealignedbox{12mm}{flushleft}{\flushnextbox}%
     \else
       \simplealignedbox{30mm}{flushleft}{\flushnextbox}%
     \fi}
    \hbox{#1}}

\setuplist
 [chapter]
 [width=0pt,
  label=yes,
  alternative=c,
  numbercommand=\ChapterlistNumber]

Thanks Wolfgang!  I actually tried something a bit like this but couldn’t get it to work. The key is to set the width to 0pt in the \setuplist.

Best wishes from Melbourne,

Robin
