Very much at the conclusion of a complicated book where most if not all
issues in the body of the text are resolved, but now comes the really
difficult part: the Table of Contents.
Here is what I am currently using (but it does not produce what I have
been asked for, which is explained below this MWE):
%------------------------------
\setuphead [subject] [incrementnumber=list]
\setuphead [title] [incrementnumber=list]
\setupcombinedlist
[content]
[list={chapter,title,section,subsection}]\switchtobodyfont[10.5pt]
\setuplist[chapter][style=normal,alternative=b, before=]
And then I place the ToC using:
\definehead
[tochead]
[title]
\starttochead[title={Contents}]
\placecombinedlist[content]
\stoptochead
%-----------------------------
The last bit ensures that I get the word 'Contents' as the toc title,
and avoid then getting 'contents' listed as an item with its page
number. And if I want a relatively straightforward Table of Contents,
then this mostly works, giving me (e.g.):
Foreword iii
One Chapter title 1
Two Chapter title 10
etc.
Of course, I would prefer it to say 'Chapter One' not just 'One', so
that is a minor problem I still have to resolve. But in fact, the
publisher wants something quite different and I really do not know how
to go about it. I did look at 'Author in ToC' in the wiki, but that
referred me to a somewhat complicated Proceedings style, and given that
my Chapters are all set up anyway, I just couldn't follow that. Am
hoping there is some other way I can achieve the design that follows:
Foreword Author's name iii
Chapter One Chapter title
Author's name 1
Chapter Two 1820-1880
Chapter title
Author's name 10
I need to add that the current setup to obtain Chapter Two is with
\setuplabeltext[chapter={{Chapter },{:1820-1880}}] which gives me
Chapter Two:1820-1880
I had thought that maybe I could get the author with something like
\starttitle[title={\ss Foreword}][author={Author Name}]
Foreword content....
\stoptitle
But that does not produce any author name in the ToC, and in fact the
Author's name in the Chapter opening page is simply placed manually as a
right-aligned item in the position where I want it, nothing to do with
the setup for \chapter (or \title in this case).
Given the above complicated design (or so it seems to me) will I have to
just set the ToC up manually with a table, or can it be achieved otherwise?
