In the current General Manual section 12.7 "Registers" the command for actually printing the back of book index is omitted. What is it? Is it the same for both MKII and MKIV?
Does one run the command texutil separate from the context command (analogous to running the makeindex command in other versions of TeX)?
I can create an index separate from context using a front end to makeindex that I wrote years ago but I prefer an embedded index.
producing an (sorted) index has always been integrated - in mkii texexec handles it (using texutil for all multi-pass pre- processing); the use never had to run texutil him/herself; in fact, i once made a replacement in Lua so that we could avoid ruby but never finished it read: had time to finish it - in mkiv sorting the index is done internally there has never been a reason for using something makeindex Hans ps. texutil itself went from modula-2 to perl to ruby ... so it's a real ancient part of context ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
