I setup a custom index like this (see minimum example code below): The problem is, when I try to create an index entry, using \setcoreidea, but place \getvalue inside, it won't render, ex.: \setcoreidea{\getvalue{secret1}} As you can see in this sample code, \setcoreidea will work fine, but when \getvalue{} is placed inside, it can't find the value. Any suggestions? --Joel \defineregister[coreidea][compress=yes]\setupregister[coreidea][style=sansbold, textstyle=slanted, n=2, pagenumber=yes, indicator=no] \define[1]\setcoreidea{% \coreidea{#1}% } \setvalue{secret1}{this won't work} \starttext % \setcoreidea{this works} \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \input knuth \setcoreidea{\getvalue{secret1}} \startchapter[title=Core Ideas] \placecoreidea \stopchapter \stoptext
