Subject: [NTG-context] Generating a list of items
Hi all

I'm teaching some classes this summer, and want to make myself a
template for lesson planning. One of the things that I'd like to be
able to include, if it works easily, is an automatically-created list
of the materials I need to remember to bring. My intention is that I
will only have to type the name of my materials once, while composing
the plan itself, and have ConTeXt extract all the names and place them
in a list in the same document.

I expect this means I would define something like \Materials , and then
while typing the main text of my plan be able to type
\Materials{Photographs} or \Materials{Sound Recording} and then have
ConTeXt generate a list of all the items like this ...

"Materials: 1. Photographs 2. Sound Recording"

... near the top of the page.

I've tried using \placeregister, but it seems to insist on printing a
page number for each item and alphabetical headings as in an index. I
would like to get a simple, numbered list of items. Can I tweak the
\register commands to do this, or perhaps is there something else I
should try?

Thanks David
