Re: [NTG-context] Index items (additional question)

19 Apr 2015

      On 16 Apr 2015, at 15:38 , Hans Hagen  gave me the following:
...
\startluacode
document.indexentries = {
        ["rule"]          = [[Rule(s)]],
        ["ruleimperfect"] = [[+ \quote{imperfect to perfect, from}]],
        ["galilei"]       = [[Galilei, Vincenzo]],
    }
function document.getindexentry(n)
        context("\\index[%s]{%s}",n,document.indexentries[n] or ("<" .. 
n .. ">"))
    end
\stopluacode
\unexpanded\def\InEn[#1]%
  {\ctxlua{document.getindexentry("#1")}}
\starttext
That this rule
\InEn[rule]
\InEn[ruleimperfect] was not applied by everybody is for example shown 
in {\em Fronimo}%
\InEn[galilei]
etc etc
Hi Hans,
sorry to bother you again on this topic.

This code works beautifully in this way, with only a few index entries  at the top of the file, before \starttext. 
But how can I deal with the thousand or more index items in my project, which I have collected in four separate dedicated files with indexentries, like the three shown in the example-code.

I have really no idea  what else should be in these files,  what sort of name they should have, in particular extension,  and how and where I can input them.
I use TeXShop as my texteditor but that is probably not relevant here.

Can you give me some guidance, please?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone
