Taco,
great to have your bug collector, and let's hope it'll be a bug squasher before long...
I had submitted a couple of bugs and feature requests for the index command that don't seem to be resolved and which didn't make it to your list. I'd say they are fairly critical because they will really mess up index generation:
1. index ranges inserted via \startregister[index] will gobble all other entries for the term;
2. \seeindex gives an error and will foul up the .tui file when processed with newtexexec;
3. again with newtexexec: capital letters at the beginning of terms are disregarded for the index, thus Taco will be sorted under "a."
Yes, I agree.
4. and a feature request: it would be good to have some formatting options like LaTeX makeidx offers: \index{keyword|textit} will produce a page-number in italics in the register. That would be immensely useful to produce a structured index.
This is already present in the ConTeXt even in more general way then in the LaTeX is. More info in the manual. vit
All best
Thomas

Hi all,
Some of you may be aware of the fact that there is a bug / feature request tracker for ConTeXt. The URL is:
http://context.literatesolutions.com/collector
I have to do a call-to-arms for the people that have made feature requests and / or found bugs in the past few months, especially if the extension /solution has not been included in the latest distribution (2005.10.27).
Will you all please have a look at the current list, and see if I have added your item(s) already?
I have a rather large archive of context-related email (because I let it slip for a while), and I fear that may have missed some extant bugs. This is quite important, because if it is not in the list, it is much less likely to get fixed.
Greetings, Taco
