\define[1]\Ort{\expanded{\index{...}}} Ah, I never know where to expand (tried \expanded\ctxlua).

\expanded needs a argument, i.e. \expanded{...}

I recognized it doesn’t work otherwise. But I thought TeX would always use the next token? Isn’t a command (or its result?) such a token?

When you use formatting commands etc. you have to use the optional argument for sorting. I don’t understand. \Ort[kursiv->]{Hamburg} works.

You mentioned only \index{\emph{...}} in your mail ...

I tried to simplify and couldn’t remember which command I needed when I had the \index{\something} problem (probably something similar, i.e. a self defined command that changed the text of the index entry).

%%%% begin tex example Oh, this is also nice. But isn’t the Lua version faster? (I have >600 person entries and a few hundred locations).

Hard to say without testing but the difference can be ignored because \index itself is what take processing time.

Ok, thank you! Hraban
