help with forced page break in TOC

help with forced page break in TOC

[jbf]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1062 bytes --]

I am unable to adapt the example given in 
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Table_of_Contents#Forced_Page_Break to my 
situation:

In my case, the ToC has no chapters per se, but uses a defined \mytitle. 
This produces a series of unnumbered items in the ToC.

The example in contextgarden tells me to first define the break, which I 
have done:

\definelistextra[page][before=\page]

It then tells me to call this in where I \placecontent (in my case I am 
using my own defined  \placecombined list[content]). The example given 
in the wiki is:

\placecontent[extras={6=page}]

But I have unnumbered items which are titles (mytitles), so I am not 
sure what to replace '6' with. I tried:

\placecombinedlist[content][extras={mytitle title={Elements of 
Reading}=page}] since 'Elements of reading' is the title before which I 
want the page break to occur. This does not work. I tried variation of 
it, e.g. since it is the third such title I tried ][extras={3=page}] but 
that does nothing either.

Any clues as to how I can resolve this small problem?

Hello Julian,

the mechanism does not work in the typesetting of the TOC.

Whatt you is the following, when the book is in a final stage:

run the file with \showinjector. This will give you in the left margin the numbers of the different TOC-entries.

Now you can say

\setinjector[list] [“the number of the injector where the break must take place][\page]


I hope that this is solving your issue.
Kind regards

Willi

Re: help with forced page break in TOC

[jbf]

Thanks Willi, that is the solution. So I then took a look at 
\showinjector on the wiki (and \setinjector) and found pretty much what 
you explained. Pity there isn't a link from the other page to this that 
I might have found when I first went looking...

Is it the case that the #Forced_Page_break reference in the wiki simply 
no longer applies in any situation? Anyway, that aside, thank you for 
the solution.

Julian
