I am struggling with something that might be simple enough, but...
The author is insisting that on the TOC page, after all the chapters and
their page numbers, I need to add the line (obviously without any page
number associated with it): 'All translations are by the author'.
I have trie various combinations of \writetolist and \writebetweenlist,
and I can get his comment at the beginning of the TOC, but I cannot get
it at the end, and perhaps with some vertical space separation from the
main list. How can I place it at the end?
Here is my simple MWE where at least I can get it at the beginning:
\starttochead[title={Contents}]
\setcounter [userpage] [7]
\setupheader[state=stop]
\placecombinedlist[content]
\writebetweenlist[chapter]{All translations are by the author!}
\stoptochead

You need to write to a list at the end of your document if you want
what you are writing to appear at the end of the list.
Is there something stopping you just outputting the line of text after the
TOC? Do you need it to appear as if it was part of the TOC?

What I have just tried might be rather ugly and unorthodox, but it
achieves what I want. As you can see from below, after the final chapter
I simply created a 'subject' without giving it a title as such. I
realised I needed the [location=here] to place it below the last item in
the TOC.
So I have what I want, in the end, but am I missing something that is
obvious to others but not to me when you say 'Is there something
stopping you just outputting the line of text after the TOC?' Since the
TOC is created automatically from heads like chapter, section etc., I
don't know (other than the solution I came up with below) how to 'just
output a line of text after the TOC'. I suppose I was imagining a
\writeafterlist command or something like that🙂
Thanks for you help Duncan, since at least it made me look to the end of
the document rather than the beginning of it, as I had been doing.
Julian .....

Sorry for not being clearer Julian, I was meaning could you just do
something like this?
\starttochead[title={Contents}]
\setupheader[state=stop]
\placecombinedlist[content]
\blank[2*big]
Note: All translations throughout the book are my own.
\stoptochead
Obviously you might need to apply styling to that line if you need it to
match whatever you have set up for the combinedlist, but it wasn't clear
to me why you needed the text to be *in* the TOC.
Cheers,
Duncan

Well, you couldn't be more clearer than that! So I should have applied
Occam's Razor all along... the law of parsimony, or put otherwise, the
simplest solution is the best! I hadn't realised I could simply add to
the TOC that way. Always assumed it was to do with the heads, and those
alone.
Thank you,
Julian

This seems to be the best solution.
Below is a different method how a custom header can be used to create
additional toc entries on the chapter level.
%%%% begin example
\definehead
[chapternote]
[chapter]
[page=no,
number=no,
placehead=no]
\setuplist
[chapternote]
[margin=2em,
pagenumber=no]
\startdocument
\completecontent[list={chapter,chapternote}]
\dorecurse{10}{\chapter{Chapter \convertnumber{word}{#1}}}
\chapternote{All translations are by the author!}
\stopdocument
%%%% end example
Wolfgang
