Interesting thread.
I currently use:
\definestartstop [precis]
[style=italic,indenting=no,indentnext=no,after={\blank}]
and then
\startchapter [title=A Chapter]
\startprecis
Short summary text.
\stoprecis
\stopchapter
and indeed it could be interesting to also include this text in the
table of contents as suggested in this thread.
I thought about adding
before={\startbuffer[precis]},
after={\stopbuffer\getbuffer[precis]\writetolist[chapter]{}{\getbuffer[precis]}}
to the \definestartstop
but this does not seem to work. I did not try further.
Perhaps someone has an idea on how to better achieve this?
