Re: [NTG-context] Chapter precis
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?

The example works for me too. But the command doesn’t work in my file.
I can’t find out why.

Re: [NTG-context] Chapter precis
Hmm... That’s really strange, What I did:
1. I deleted the line with \writebetweenlist and compiled the file. It
worked.
2. I put back the line and triode to compile - fatal error
3. I commented out all the lines which had something to do with the
table of contend - fatal error
4. I changed all back - fatal error (as expected)
5. I commented out all the lines in my project files (all the lines with
\input and compiled and got an empty file witour errors.
6. I deleted the comment signs one after the other and compiled every
time - no error
7. All was how it was, so I entered the \writebetweenlist (absolutely
the same: copy and paste) and ... Tatarata! It works...
An enigma. I effectively changed nothing, all is now as it was before.
Very, very strange...
Anyway: It works. Thanks for the help!

Do you set all three arguments for \writebetweenlist, i.e.
\writebetweenlist[…]{…}{…}

Re: [NTG-context] Chapter precis
Yes. I did. Before and now.
But I think, writebetweenlist is not what I’m looking for. I try now
with \writetolist[section] and to give the section list the desired
format. That seems not easy, because the text now runs on the whole
line, this means also in the region, where the page numbers are. It
should terminate before, where the line of dots terminates or so. I see
no parameter for this width seems ti be not the right one (it seems,
width has no visible effect at all).

You can use the maxwidth key to set a limit for the width of the list entry.

Re: [NTG-context] Chapter precis
Sorry. I don’t understand. If I use maxwidth (line 2 without the %), I
get just one truncated line of the text. But I’d like to have all the
text, somewhat indented on both sides, but not truncated.
But why is the text without maxwidth indented on the right?

When you enable the pagenumber context puts some space between the number and
the text.
\definelist[chaptertext]
\setuplist [chaptertext][margin=2em,pagecommand=\gobbleoneargument]

Re: [NTG-context] Chapter precis
Aha. I see. So it may work. But I just recalled how to achieve the same
result with Latex and Memoir... And I decided to sleep one night and if
then my feeling ist the same as now, I'll turn back to Latex. I’m too
stupid for such a complicated tool as ConTeXt. I know that it is much
better als Latex, but I don’t understand it. It’s now a year that I
use it frequently and I have the impression that I made not a single
step forward.
Let’s see what the morning brings and says ;)
Thank you all for all your help!
