Align TOC section numbers flushright

Align TOC section numbers flushright

Dear gang,

Trying to get the sectioning numerals in the left margin of the TOC to be
fushright; by default they are flushleft; see attached and below:

=======
\setuphead[chapter]   [conversion=R]

\setuplist[chapter][width=2.8em]

\definecombinedlist
[content]
[chapter]
[level=chapter,
alternative=c,
numberalign=flushright]

\starttext
\placecontent[conversion=R]
\startchapter[title={First},reference={}]   \input ward \stopchapter
\startchapter[title={Second},reference={}]  \input ward \stopchapter
\startchapter[title={Third},reference={}]   \input ward \stopchapter
\startchapter[title={Fourth},reference={}]  \input ward \stopchapter
\startchapter[title={Fifth},reference={}]   \input ward \stopchapter
\startchapter[title={Sixth},reference={}]   \input ward \stopchapter
\startchapter[title={Seventh},reference={}] \input ward \stopchapter
\startchapter[title={Eighth},reference={}]  \input ward \stopchapter
\stoptext
=======

numberalign=flushright would seem to be the governing keyword+value, but
that has no effect here.

For the form of the desired result, see toc-margin_numerals-MURE.pdf:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/j0etnkt54zji6h5/toc-margin_numerals-MURE.pdf?dl=0

(note the stopper after each margin numeral!). Thank you in
advance.

Best wishes
Idris

Use \setuplist to change the numeralign setting, you need also a 
distance value.

\setuplist
   [chapter]
   [alternative=c,
    width=2.8em,
    distance=1em,
    numberalign=flushright]

The attached file shows which values are valid for \setupcombinedlist.

Many thanks. Had come up with this awkward workaround:

\define[1]\FLUSHRIGHT{\hfill#1\hbox to0.7em{}}

\setuplist[chapter][width=2.8em]
\setuplist[chapter][stopper=.,numbercommand=\FLUSHRIGHT]

Does the attached tex file look correct?

\setuplist
   [chapter]
   [alternative=c,
    width=1.85em,
    distance=0.5em,
    numberalign=flushright,
    level=chapter]

\definecombinedlist
[content]
[chapter]

If one turns on \showframe, one sees that the width value does not prevent  
crossing the left side of the textblock (a good thing). OTOH, getting the  
TOC numerals to lineup with the left side is a matter of trial and error.  
[width=1.85em comes close]

And if the document is changed so that the wider roman numerals are not  
needed, then one has to reset the width value, again by trial and error.

So is there a way to make the left side of the textblock flush with the  
widest roman? It's by no means urgent, but sine we are supposed to be able  
to automate nearly everything.. -)

> The attached file shows which values are valid for \setupcombinedlist.

Ah, our npp-4-context config files for calltips need updating, I have

\definecombinedlist [NAME]
[LIST]
[INHERIT: \setuplist]

but that should be

\definecombinedlist [NAME]
[LIST]
[INHERIT: \setupcombinedlist]

Many thanks.

You can remove the level setting.

This isn’t supported but adding a sample key (which is supported by 
enumerations) where you can set a text which is used to calculate the 
width should be easy.

I have the changes only in my local files.

Ok, hereby making this a feature request -)
