Hello Eric, thank you for your answer! I did change the list field, but without effect. That is why I put the question here. If you could take a minute and have a look at this TW file https://www.dropbox.com/s/ms341dmjpa2abvx/test-tw.html?dl=0
It just contains five tiddlers, one with the toc refering to the others. Somehow it seems that I mixed up something, but I can't find the cause. Thank you in advance, Martin Am Samstag, 11.
