No, it just requires using a markup list.  And { markup } is a markup
list.

\table-of-contents delivers a list, \center-column packages it (probably
you can leave out the braces after \center-column), \fill-line creates a
markup from it (I think).  It's possible that you can remove some more
layers here: I really don't have all too much of a clue.
