Sorry, me again. After fiddling around I found out why it didn't work:
because \placecontent was *within* the subject that it had to print. Kind
of a Gordian Knot or what was it called...?
I modified my code a little, so that it looks better, but still one thing
is missing... That's what my code looks like now:
%D I copied the head settings to "title", so that it has the same style as
the rest
%D "title" will not be counted for TOC:
\setuphead[title][style=\ssbfc, color=foreground:contrast,
alternative=middle]
\starttext
\setvariables
...
*\startstandardmakeup* %D else the content is placed at the very top,
ignoring the header... (bad)
* \title{Table of contents}*
* \vfill*
* \placecontent*
* \vfill*
*\stopstandardmakeup*
\startslide[title={First Slide}]
...
Yet the one thing I am missing is that the TOC is not in the middle of the
page.
I read some time ago that \vfill has no effect at the very beginning or
the very end of a page. A suggestion was to place a "ghost box" or
something like that at the end or top respectively of the document. Yet I
can't finde the article anymore. Can anybody provide some help with this or
is there maybe a more elegant way to solve the whole TOC situation?
Greetings, Sebastian
