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
Some old fashioned novels have a chapter précis in the table of
contents. In Latex exists the command \chapterprecis to put the text at
the beginning of the chapter and in the able of contents. I thought, I
can realize this in ConTeXt with
\writebetweenlist[chapter]{XYZ}
or with

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

Which error message do you get?

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

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

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?

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
