Thank you, Wolfgang. With a little fine tuning I think I have what I need to generate an index that is compliant to the Chicago 17 and 18 requirements, at least for this book. I did not realize that \placeregister[register1,register2...] merges the registers. That is not the case with \placenotes[anotes,bnotes...], which sets the notes serially. If \placenotes[anotes,bnotes...] had an option to merged the registers, I might have a solution to the issue I raised at the end of August (Inserting text between end notes). Of course, this might also require fixing the bug I described when note numbers are suppressed (Problem with end note processing, also at the end of August). -- Rik On 2024-09-28 01:59, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

Hello experts,
Is there a way to generate an entry without a page number in an register that has page numbers enabled? This would enabled /See also/ entries to be generated with something like
\setregisterentry[TopicIndex][keys:2=zzz,entries:1=punctuation,entries:2={{\em See also} marking}]%
I do see that there is an alternative key defined for the command, but no explanation of what the alternatives are and if any would help.
You have to set "ownnumber=yes" but I don't think the feature is supported at the moment (or I failed to set the correct values) but you can use the following method to get rid of the pagenumber.
%%%% begin example \defineregister [TopicIndex]
\defineregister [SeeTopicIndex] [TopicIndex] [pagecommand=\gobbleoneargument]
\starttext
\samplefile{lorem} \setregisterentry[TopicIndex][entries:1=punctuation]% \samplefile{lorem} \setregisterentry[SeeTopicIndex][entries:1=punctuation,entries:2={{\em See also} marking}]% \samplefile{lorem}
\placeregister[TopicIndex,SeeTopicIndex][n=1]
\stoptext %%%% end example
