Can you try \noexpand\nomarking ?

Hi Taco,

thanks for the start/stopArticle macro. Is there any way to make it
work with \nomarking? I need to be able truncate headings.

My mistake, sorry.

You need and \expanded around the call to \Article, because
otherwise the macro names \ArticleAuthor etc. end up in the
list instead of their content. So please change that line to:

   \expanded{\Article{\ArticleTitle -- \ArticleAuthor}}

(you have to delete the current .tuo file also to make the
error go away)

Hi Taco,

Thanks for the suggestion. It looks good.

I set up a test document, and cut and pased your example. Alas, it
won't compile.

Output from texexec:

Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Here is a trick that may help:

% in environment file:
\setuphead[chapter][number=no]
\definehead[Article][chapter]
\setuphead[Article][number=no,placehead=no,before=,after=,page=]
\definecombinedlist[Article][Article][alternative=c]

\def\startArticle[#1]%
   {\begingroup
    \getparameters[Article][#1]%
    \chapter{\ArticleTitle}%                   this is typeset
    \Article{\ArticleTitle -- \ArticleAuthor}% this is the toc entry
    }

\def\stopArticle%
   {\blank\rightline{\ArticleAuthor}\endgroup}

% in text
\starttext
\placecombinedlist[Article]
\startArticle[Author=Thor,Title=The title]
.....
\stopArticle
\stoptext

I found the cause of  the problem there was a problem with the value I was
passing to \chapter{} that prevented the chapter title from being shown in
the ToC.

I've a second ToC related question.

Is it possible to more text to a ToC entry?  As I want to list both chapter
titles and the author.

Something like:

[chapter-title][author].....................................[page no.]

It works for me. But your definition of success may be different
from mine, so I suggest posting a minimal file exhibiting the error.

ToC Problem

[Elliot Clifton]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 690 bytes --]

Hi,

Article names are not displayed in my ToC, the seperators and page numbers
do appear though.

I set upmy heads, lists, and contents  as follows:

\definehead[Article][chapter]
\setuphead[Article][number=no]

\definelist[Article][alternative=c, criterium=all]

\definecombinedlist        [MyContent]
                [Article]
                [level=Article, placehead=yes, criterium=all, alternative=c]

The list will render  correctly but not the ToC. I could use the list rather
than the combined list, but I want get combined list working as I have yet
to have any success with them whem using my own heads.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Elliot
