Re: [NTG-context] How to add data from another PDF in index?

Fantastic! Exactly what I needed. My publisher was gong to ask for the information of this index soon, so its great that already works! --Joel On Sunday, February 26, 2023 at 11:45:48 AM MST, Alan Braslau wrote: Hans needs to confirm, "In the next update..."

We need to thank Hans for the quick implementation. Alan On Fri, 24 Feb 2023 05:43:01 +0000 (UTC) Joel via ntg-context wrote:

I am making a textbook and workbook set. I have this custom index using this code, in both the textbook and workbook: % \defineregister[learnedshort][compress=yes] \setupregister[learnedshort][style=sansbold, textstyle=slanted, n=2, pagenumber=yes, indicator=no] % \defineregister[learnedlong][compress=yes] \setupregister[learnedlong][style=sansbold, textstyle=slanted, n=2, pagenumber=yes, indicator=no] % \define[1]\learnedis{%     \txt{} \getvalue{#1}     \learnedshort{#1}     \learnedlong{#1} } \define[1]\learned{%     \learnedshort{#1}     \learnedlong{\getvalue{#1}} }

\starttext

\learnedis{blah blah}

\input knuth

\learnedis{some more}

    \startchapter[title=Standards]         \placelearnedshort     \stopchapter      \stoptext

My question is, can I have references to the Workbook page numbers in the textbook? And visa-versa?

For instance, the Textbook index currently looks like this: ------------- Standards blah blah 1 some more 2 -------------- With the data in the Workbook it might look like this:   Standards blah blah 1, WB: 1, 3-8

some more 2, WB: 8-9 yet more WB: 10, 12

-------------- Is this possible to merge index information like this? --Joel
