I wonder if someone can assist me with the final step in a complicated
Table of Contents where all items in the ToC are centred (except page
numbers which continue to be on the right).
Beneath each chapter title is a list of authors (Yes, there can be up to
four authors per chapter!)
I can successfully achieve everything (see MWE below) except for getting
the list of authors to split and be centred. Because there are four of
them, I would need to split them so they appear as two (centred) with
the other two below(also centred).
Here is my MWE for the essential bit (which is then called in as
textcommand=\SectionTocEntry in \setuplist[chapter], obviously):
\define[1]\SectionTocEntry{%
#1\crlf% title
\midaligned{\doifnot{\structurelistuservariable{author}}{}{\structurelistuservariable{author}}}%
}
My problem is that at the moment, the four authors appear on a single
line, so I end up with:
My chapter title
Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge, Minnie Mouse [p. 1, but in
fact, Minnie Mouse runs across the page number!]
What I want instead is:
My chapter title
Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck
Uncle Scrooge, Minnie Mouse [p. number]
Back at the chapter level my code reads:
\startchapter[title={Chapter title}][author={Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck,
Uncle Scrooge, Minnie Mouse}].
Anyone able to help with this?

Thank you. Ci siamo quasi, ma non del tutto! Nearly there!
The \midaligned{... } was obviously preventing the \crlf in the
\startchapter from working. Removing it altogether allowed the split to
occur but obviously not centred. So i have tried now adding the
\startalignment[middle] to the definition, but it has no effect if I do
it as follows:
\define[1]\SectionTocEntry{%
#1\crlf% title
\doifnot{\startalignment[middle]\structurelistuservariable{author}}{}{\structurelistuservariable{author}}%
\stopalignment}
and if I do it as:
\define[1]\SectionTocEntry{%
#1\crlf% title
\startalignment[middle]\doifnot{\structurelistuservariable{author}}{}{\structurelistuservariable{author}}%
}\stopalignment
compilation fails, and also does so if I enclose everything after
\startalignment and before \stopalignment in curly brackets. So how
might I use \startalignment[middle] in the definition?

Resolved!
\define[1]\SectionTocEntry{%

\startalignment[middle]\doifnot{\structurelistuservariable{author}}{}{\structurelistuservariable{author}}%

You need to move the \startalignment into the test (you don't want en
empty one
Anyway, here is an alternative:
\startsetups[MySectionTocEntry]
\doifsomething{\structurelistuservariable{author}} {
\startalignment[middle]
\darkblue \tx \structurelistuservariable{author}
\stopalignment
}
\stopsetups
\setuplist[chapter][after=\setups{MySectionTocEntry}]

Thanks for the alternative. Also gives me further ideas, especially
regarding placement of the \startalignment
