Hi Brent,
you could simply delay the execution of your code until the point where you
need it like this:
bpI =
#(define-scheme-function (parser location) ()
#{
\bookpart {
\tocItem "toc1" "a"
{ c' }
}
#})
bpII =
#(define-scheme-function (parser location) ()
#{
\bookpart {
\tocItem "toc2" "b"
{ d' }
}
#})
\markuplist \table-of-contents
$(bpII)
$(bpI)
(Sorry for the mess, I'm writing from my phone.)
Cheers,
Valentin
