[NTG-context] Fwd: Re: styling individual parts of ToC entry
After making silly mistakes, for which I apologize, I finally got the
ToC to work for frontmatter and chapters, creating new \defineheads as
required, and including the earlier \ChapterListCommand, with the
results correctly showing.
To add some named sections with authors, I did the following, using an
idea Hraban had floated:
\setupsectionblock
[bodypart]
[number=no]
\define[1]\SectionTocEntry{%
#1\crlf% title
\structurelistuservariable{author}%
}
\setuplist[section][
textcommand=\SectionTocEntry,
]
I need to adjust the \setuplist[section] so these section entries move
across under the Chapter titles (not be left-aligned as they are now
under Chapter number. The earlier \ChapterListCommand has titles and
authors moved across 3cm.
I have tried:
\setuplist[section][width=3cm,
textcommand=\SectionTocEntry,
]
The width=3cm is not doing anything, so I've got that wrong. How do I
move sections across by a specific amount in the TOC?

Have to confess I am still not getting far with the final problem in
a book that is now fully laid out: frontmatter through to appendices
is all correct and working, but the Table of Contents not the way I
need it (as explained earlier and listed in a previous email).
My latest effort focuses on just one item, the Foreword, since if I
get that right, I can apply the same logic to sections. Chapters are
already working correctly, thanks to Wolfgang's ChapterListCommand
and I am assuming I need that for the several frontmatter 'chapters'.
I was earlier using \title for foreword, preface and notes to
contributors, but have abandoned that as complicating things, and am
now using \chapter, since it does not produce a numbered item -
however, it is producing the label 'Chapter' which I don't want for
these item. You can see below how I tried to avoid that, but it
failed. My MWE addition to what Wolfgang provided is:
\definehead [foreword] [chapter]
\setuphead [foreword]
\setuplist [foreword]
[label=foreword,
alternative=command,
command=\ChapterListCommand]% definition not included here. It was
given in an earlier response from Wolfgang.
And in the frontmatter itself:
\startchapter[foreword][title={\ss Foreword}][author={A. Uthor}]
..
You can set the forword string as labeltext and ignore the title (but
use a empty argument when set userdata like the author).
\definehead
[forword] [chapter]
\setuplabeltext
[en]
[forword=Forword,
chapter=Chapter ]
\setuphead
[forword]
[frontpartlabel=forword,
conversion=empty]
\setupsectionblock
[frontpart]
[number=yes]
\setuplist
[forword]
[label=forword,
width=2cm]
\setuplist
[chapter]
[label=chapter,
width=2cm]

Wolfgang, I have tried an MWE below but I think I am hopelessly lost at
this point. It is not producing anything like what I want.
But at least let me indicate what I have tried:
(1) I have defined two different 'title' items (Foreword and Preface
unnumbered) since both of these require an author name of the kind
produced by the \ChapterListCommand. Do I also need a \TitleListCommand
for these? The \ChapterListCommand seems to call in a chapter number,
and I don't want one in the Frontmatter items like foreword and preface.
I didn't know how to adjust that definition to leave out the number. I
did try a renamed copy of it, leaving out the line: \hbox to
3cm{\currentlistsymbol\hss}, but that made no difference.
(2) And since I also need some sections with an author (but the chapter
they are in has no author), I defined a 'mysection', though I have only
tried to 'call in' the Foreword so far in the text below, to see if that
at least worked - but it doesn't.
(3) I also assumed that having defined foreword, preface and mysection,
they would need to be in a \setupcombinedlist.
(4) And finally, I thought I would then need a \setuplist and
\setuplabeltext for Foreword (as indeed I might for the other two as
well, but to start with, I wanted to get one of them working at least).
MWE:
\definehead [foreword] [title]
\definehead [preface] [title]
\definehead [mysection] [section]
\setupcombinedlist[chapter,foreword,preface,mysection,section, subsection]
\define[3]\ChapterListCommand
{\hbox\bgroup
\hbox to 3cm{\currentlistsymbol\hss}% number + labeltext
\vtop\bgroup
\hsize\dimexpr\makeupwidth-3cm\relax
\doifsomething{\rawstructurelistuservariable{year}}
{{\it\structurelistuservariable{year}}\crlf}%
\currentlistentrytitle % title
\doifsomething{\rawstructurelistuservariable{author}}
{\crlf{\bf\structurelistuservariable{author}}}%
\hfill\currentlistentrypagenumber % pagenumber
\egroup

\define[3]\TitleListCommand

\doifsomething{\rawstructurelistuservariable{year}}

\definehead [foreword] [title]

Let me remind you of what I am trying to achieve. If I can grasp some
basic principles about this layout, I can experiment further.
