Re: [NTG-context] How to define my own list entry?

Thanks Wolfgang, After looking through the file you mentioned above, I finally find that \writeutilitycommand and \doutilities are what I want now. Maybe I should look into core-uti.tex to get more. On Wed, May 7, 2008 at 2:15 PM, Wolfgang Schuster [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Wed, May 7,

Thanks, that's genius! However, the problem I now have is that the sections from *both* chapters are displayed below each chapter heading. That is, \placelist[section] generates the same content in both contexts. Paul Hans Hagen wrote: Paul Gideon Dann wrote: Hi there, I've got
