In theory, you can say
\startregister[index]{great+topic} and \stopregister[index]{great+topic}
Many thanks Thomas, that's what I was looking for :))
and this will do what you want. However, this is one of several bugs in the index module of ConTeXt: this will print just this range and gobble all other entries in the index for great/topic.
You're right, a quick test demonstrated the bug. However, the .tui contained r f {index} {108} {} {great+topic} {2--0-9-1-1-0-0-0--101} {111} r t {index} {109} {} {great+topic} {2--0-9-1-1-0-0-0--102} {112} c \listentry{subsubsection}{110}{}{A section}{2--0-9-1-2-0-0-0--102}{112} c \mainreference{}{eq:aneq}{2--0-9-1-2-0-0-0--102}{112}{37} r e {index} {111} {} {great+topic} {2--0-9-1-2-0-0-0--103} {113} and the .tuo % % TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 / Registers % \registerentry{index}{a} \registerentrya{index}{astonishing} \registerentryb{index}{bug} \registerpage{index}{,}{113}{2--0-9-1-3-0-0-0--103}{113} \registerentry{index}{g} \registerentrya{index}{great} \registerentryb{index}{topic} \registerfrom{index}{,}{108}{2--0-9-1-1-0-0-0--101}{111} \registerpage{index}{,}{111}{2--0-9-1-2-0-0-0--103}{113} \registerto{index}{,}{109}{2--0-9-1-1-0-0-0--102}{112} When swapping the two last lines in the .tuo and running texexec --once make it print the index great topic 101-102, 103 which is not that nice (should have been merged into 101-103), but recovered the missing file. In the texutil script there seems to be only sorting on entries' labels and no further sorting with the page number because it sorts this string join($JOIN,$Class,$LCKey,$Key,$Entry,$TextHow,$RegStatus, $RealPageNumber,$Location,$Page,$PageHow,$SeeToo) What about using a hash instead of a string to handle the register entries' information so that it will be easier to handle the page ranges after having sorted the labels?
I wrote a note to the list about these bugs about a week ago, but there were no replies. I guess if there are two of us and we yell loud enough, Hans will hear us eventually :-)
I'm with you :)) By the way, this may benefit Taco's bibmodule when implementing the backtracking referencing mechanism... Greetings, Olivier
